-mixed all the slurpee flavors into one cup
-sipped some water from the shower and spit it out pretending I was a fountain

Don't forget about the "Up" + "B" myth, too! That pressing up on the D-pad along with B would turn a normal pokeball into a master ball in Gen I...yep.

Other weird things I've done as a kid:
-Pretended I was a dog or a tiger and pounced on people
-Dipped potato chips and pretzels in orange soda
-Dipped my stringbeans in ketchup
-Imitated the catch-phrases of cartoon characters
-Used to tell people "swearing is bad" when they would say "I swear" (rather than actually cuss)
-Used to put caterpillars (and one inch worm) in my lunchbag and brought them home with me from school to save them from the kids who went around squishing them
-Had a pet earthworm (and a pet cricket, but it got loose in the house)

I used to watch wayyy too much Animal Planet as a kid and thought my stuffed animals were real so I'd make them fight and the loser got eaten. It wasn't as bad as my sister whould tie up her Barbies and pretend they were kidnapped like serial killer. I would also try to smuggle bugs and things into the classroom without being caught. Ah, childhood.

I would make peanut butter & goldfish sandwiches. I thought they were pretty good.

 

[Squidward]

I would pretende to ride my dog. I never actually sat on him or hurt him, I would just pretend.

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.

-thought that monsters would get me if I went downstairs alone in the middle of the night with the lights off

I still do this, I'm 16 and scared of the dark..
Aha how embarrassing ;u;

I used to write down -mini airplane- for me to ride around my street in for Christmas...
Sometimes I'd write my Christmas List on Christmas Eve because it's 'magic'
Apparently I was reeaaally aggressive and I kicked anyone who looked at my mum... and I headbutted a door and knocked it off its hinges.
I also locked my mum out the house whilst I ate all of the biscuits and blamed it on a magical fairy (well I didn't I just said I didn't do it iirc)

-sipped some water from the shower and spit it out pretending I was a fountain
-frequently pressed A when trying to catch a Pokemon thinking it would help

... I still do them.... woops

I was SUCH a weird child...
-I had like 5 tamagotchis on a string around my neck
-I used to spend hours colouring in graph paper
-I loved killing ants with a plastic club... like i would spend hours doing it
That's only a few

The only thing that really stands out as weird to me is the way my friends and I would adopt insects in elementary school and take care of them. We would build "homes" out of bark for the ants that lived on the roots of these two huge trees overlooking the playground, and we had a pet worm that we brought food out to every day (in retrospect it's very unlikely that it was the same worm lol). We brought out pasta in Ziploc bags and would just kind of. Leave it there, assuming the worm would eat it.

I also used to keep caterpillars in Pringles containers and stuff (probably not the best for them), but that stopped when I started having nightmares about them (???). I'd also take them out to play with them, and after awhile I still felt like they were crawling on me even after I had put them away, so that freaked me out too. I don't really think keeping caterpillars as pets is all that weird, though.

A lot of stuff really.

I was such a weird kid back then.

 

[oreo]

When I was 6, I would try to mate yellow ladybugs and red ladybugs together in hoping they will breed orange ladybugs. ; ~ ;

 

[Buttercup]

i would tell everyone that would listen to me that i was married to a drug lord and he was in prison
i would pretend i was a middle aged woman with a kid
i would make out with an inflatable spiderman

 

[Shimmer]

I used to think that my stuff animals were real so I would make sure they were all loved evenly and that when I put them away, they would be sitting comfortably, instead of just being thrown in a pile.

I do all of these except pressing A while trying to catch a Pokemon. xD Is that bad...?

 

[Zane]

-Gave all of my stuffed animals n toys a name and a personality (also differentiated their voices when playing with them)
-Try to charge everybody a toonie (2$ coin) for everything so I could play with the claw machine in a certain store
-Obsession with catching large bugs and putting them in jars and stuff and pretending it was a museum

there was definitely a lot but my memory is so bad i'll never think of it all

 

[Beleated_Media]

-Apparently I was a womanizer when I was about 5 (I don't even know how...)
-I broke two major electronic devices, the Mac (Maconitosh) and my dad's boom box with paper...
-I cut my teacher with scissors when I was in kindergarten
-I couldn't focus well so my min was everywhere

I used to feed ants lolol
We had a lot of ants living outside in our garden. They were in between the cracks in a rock wall, and I'd shove pieces of food there for them and watch as they all swarmed over it and carried little bits away.

Hahah all children are weirdos tbh .-.
