Post a random fact about your childhood.

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.

I used to make rubber balls out of borax and glue. Then I would throw them at my sister for no reason.

My dad's aunt Audrey once gave me a card and a check for $100 to spend on my school trip to Europe.

I talked to my imaginary friends and imitated their voices all the time, even when in public.

My dad's aunt Audrey once gave me a white bear with a little bear and one or both of them said "Merry Christmas" on them and parts of them were red and green...

As a child, I always wanted to be a marine biologist. And now, since I haven't graduated from high school, I can't get a job like that.

My first grade teacher used to hit me all the time for not understanding her. I think it was legal back then.

My little brother and I loved the Land Before Time movies. My favorites were Littlefoot and Cera, and my brother's favorite was Chomper.

I wanted siblings.

I sat on a bee when i was 4 and it stung me.
I had an operation on my right eye.

One of my older sisters babysat my brother and I while our mom worked at a restraunt.

My excellent peripheral vision allowed me to cheat at hearing tests and avoid the added stigma of people knowing I am pretty much deaf in my left ear and my right ear does not work too well....

notice operators hand move, declare I can hear a sound
