Weird things you did when you were younger

[n64king]

Either of you ever tried riding a laundry basket down the stairs?

This reminds me of when I thought you could use a bag, blanket, or whatever to float safely down from a high place. I use to jump off the stairs that didn't have a railing on one side (thank you modern style house?) and hold something over me like Mary Poppins to float down but it obviously never worked. I thought if I could get something close to an umbrella it would work since I didn't have one available to me.

We moved around a few times when I was younger and once I kept one of our moving boxes and I'd do everything in it. I'd sit inside of it to watch TV and eat inside of it and everything, and sometimes I'd have my sister close it up and roll me around in it. I think I slept in it a few times, too.

I also thought spinning around in circles was the most fun ever, and I'd do it for nearly hours at a time until I couldn't even feel my head anymore haha.

Wow I'd completely forgotten about doing that as a kid but yeah spinning around was sort of euphoric...until you stopped and felt dizzy, well I did anyway - ugh .

I loved boxes too, heh are you a cat person as well? Cats are like that, if there's a box or a small space that's just the right size for their body they'll climb in just like we did as children. In my house we had a big (compared to a child) plastic laundry basket, that nice flexible soft plastic, and I loved sitting in that thing - especially when it was so snug it was almost cramped.

Oh the best of all had to be the space at the top of my wardrobe. It was a fitted wardrobe (so it was built into the wall) and it was just big enough to climb up and crawl into, I could even close the door from inside--obviously the door could be opened from inside as well! I think I first got up there when playing hide and seek for the ultimate hiding spot, then I just realised I really liked it.

i used to be scared of sleeping on my back because i thought my eyes would roll back in my head so i always slept on my stomach. i'm not scared of that anymore, but now i still sleep on my stomach. also, when i would eat dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, i would rip their limbs off and pretend ketchup was blood. heh.

Haha, yeah, I like cats! I had a laundry basket too that I'd sit in, and I used to try to get around the house with it by rocking it back and fourth so it'd move. I stopped doing that after I got stuck in one once, though. But yeah I loved sitting in boxes and pantries and things like that which is kind of weird now cause I get claustrophobic.

Speaking of sitting in weird places: I used to sit in the bottom of my closet at my old house, which was a space like a foot high and five feet long (so I guess I actually laid down in it). The first thing I did when we bought our new house was do my homework in my bigger closet.

Idk why I did any of that, but I guess it's kind of ironic to look back on, now.

I had a friend in elementary school who had a closet like that, and whenever I was staying at his house and one of my parents came to pick me up, I'd go in hide in it so I didn't have to leave lol.
