Post a random fact about your childhood.

When I was about 3 or 4 years old, I went for a little 'walk' outside with my younger brother, early in the morning (around 5am). I think we were about half a mile away from home, when I lost my brother, and I ran back home, and told my mum that my brother was lost 'under a bridge'. (it was actually an underpass, but I didn't learn that word back then). My mum immediately presumed it was under the canal bridge, and then called the police. Luckily, an old man found my brother and called the police earlier, and then we were a happy family again.

When I was a kid, I used to be unable to go to bed unless I heard the theme song from the show Dinosaurs.

I "fed" and talked to my stuffed bears as if they were real.

I had Pokemon as my imaginary friends for a time. I remember giving them each individual voices and personalities.

When I was 9, my mother made me cut all of my hair off.

I remember watching Cartoon Network every Friday night with my family, when I was little.

This is the coolest thing I think i have ever read.
Yep, lifes just down hill from here.


I never had a birthday party. Ever.

I used to wrap my Han Solo action figure in aluminum foil, put it in a baggie full of water and leave it in the freezer.

When I as 13 and in sailing camp, I always got stuck in the weeds.

My favorite story as a child was a German story about a Siamese cat. Go figure!

I read novels for kids about groups of kids in school.

My little brother and I would play a game called "Sing & Swing" where we would play on the swing set while singing our favorite songs from movies we liked. My brother's favorite was "We're Gonna Take A Walk Outside Today" from Milo & Otis and my favorite song was "Dreams to Dream" from Fievel Goes West.

I was at a day camp at age 9 where I learned French and became more comfortable with the French.

- I only had two relatively large/organized birthday parties with classmates; once in kindergarden and in my first (I think) year of primary school; it was my parents decision to stop making any arguing that very few people showed up; I didn't see it that way. I didn't like kid's music so we did the usual games with U2 which is what I listened to back then; it wasn't badly received.

- I hated very much kid's ads, stories and (most) tv shows because I felt they were treating kids like idiots.

- I was forced to go to a psychologist. The guy was an obnoxious jerk. I never cooperated, I vandalized his office and I once managed to kick him in the bald part of his head.

- Amongst hypothetical ghosts and aliens I was also scared of hypothetical floating evil foetuses I imagined after having seen some images.

- During summer, when people were playing with water bombs, I decided it would be fun to fill a water squirting thing I had with boiling water and aimed at passers by from my balcony. Nothing happened because the water musn't have been really boiling and I was too high up to land other than a few drops; then the container soon broke.

- I actively daydreamed at night. I had an actual "story" about myself achieving things I kept adding to everynight. I trace that as early as kindergarden; must have stopped a couple years into primary school.

I was at the Stony Point preschool.

I used to sit in mud.

I had two vaccination record books.
