Hahaha, I always got Play Dooh for Saint Nicolas at my school. My mother dreaded that time of year. Because for some (creative) reason I always smeared the stuff in the living room carpet. As I also loved to make drawings on the bottom of the plate that was our salon table, instead of using the blackboard. I probably found drawing while laying on the floor more relaxing. And drawing gnomes on (again) the carpet in our living room was also my speciality ( in all shades of pink & purple).
Well, to be fair, the whole "you have to wear clothing to preschool" rule is pretty dumb....
I went through a short phase where I was pretty sure I could fly if I just tried hard enough. I gave it up pretty quickly when none of my flying experiments worked.
i once walked home from the mall. alone. i was five. my mom had the police come to the mall looking for me. that was not my first or last disappearing. but definitely my worst
When I was in my first year of school, I got curious about the dangly bit at the back of my throat (uvula), so I stuck my fingers in to touch it and instantly projectile vomited across the large desk the whole class was sat around. On the plus side, I got a day off school.
I would have repeated that stunt until they figured it out!

My ex did this with laburnum seed pods (poisonous plant, seed pods look like pea pods) twice as a kid! The second time he got his friends involved. The other parents were unimpressed to hear it wasn't the first time & it was a while before he was trusted around his friends again!

Did the same with a ladder. I was climbing higher, the higher the heights the higher the chance to actually float, right? Nope. I ended the day after I crashed so badly that my knee hit my chest and I couldn't breath anymore. It took me about 8 years to learn humans can't fly. Go figure.
