What Was The Weirdest Thing You Did As A Kid? (Ended)

Whether you want to regret it or not, we all did some bizarre things as a kid without a doubt. So what weird thing topped the cake?

This post may include affiliate links.

I lived in a rural area and put myself in charge of buryimg any animals that got hit by cars. I wanted them to know someone cared about them even in death.

I also sang to trees that looked like sick to help them get strong and healthy

When I was little, I loved to read. I would practically devour books, but then afterwards, if I really liked the book, I would swagger around, talking and acting like the main character. Ex: I’d read Harry Potter, and then talk in a positively awful british accent for a week.
I was an interesting child.

I would confront kids who bullied my friends, and then take the blame for the fights and wrong things ( I know that this doesn't sound weird yet...just wait) I would proceed to do a growl-off with those kids ( mind you, I was a tom-boy so this didn't ruin any of my pride Whatsoever ). I, of course, always won....and always got in trouble, because I may or may have not screamed at those bullies...to stay away from my friend....

As a contribution to the sixth post, as a kid, I used to eat worms ( because I though that they were the "Earth's Spaghetti"), every single one that I could find. Because I was revolting? Maybe....but I did it. Because one day, when I wasn't hungry, my mum told me how millions of people were living in poverty, and how some didn't have direct food sources, or any food at all! So I just ate every single one, until my mum caught me and stopped me from eating anymore.

I am still eleven and have a very big fear of paranormal after a scary storytelling year of sleep away summer camp, and the light switch for my basement is at the bottom of the stairs and sometimes I forget to turn on the lights at the top so I turn off the lights and run upstairs as fast as my body will take me. I also do the same Thing when I grab some food we have in storage from our crawl space.

That was before I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome but I used to constantly talk about chess or weather when I was in middle school. I also run in circles in apartment yard or parking lot. I still talk about weather to this day, but my interests diversified. Well, I’m planning to go into Ph.D program for atmospheric science or meteorology so that’s still weather obsession. Especially more specifically severe weather.

Like most of you, I've done some seriously bizarre stuff when I was a kid. Most of them were one-time-thing, though. One of the weirder things that I constantly did was when I was in bed, I imagined I was working in a cave. The wrinkled inside the blankets were the tunnels, the top of the bed was the surface level, and the bottom was the depths (you have to imagine it sideways). I kept going down into "the depths," and unloaded the materials onto the surface. I've also drawn childish factory schematics for varying technologies, including a car and a few robots.

I honestly didn’t do much weird stuff but when I was about 8-9 years old I had a dream and in the dream I went to the toilet. Next minute I wake up to a wet bed, obviously I didn’t just go to the toilet in my dream but in real life too. First and last time that every happened. One other thing I apparently did as a child was eat a millipede. I was only about 2 or 3 but I can imagine it tasted absolutely revolting especially because of the strong smell they have.

I used to sing 'The Lord's My Shepherd' to a field of cows regularly for hours at a time and they used to come to the fence, flies everywhere and just stand there snorting and sticking the tongues right up their noses.
One day they had all gone and it wasn't until I was grown up that my older brother told me that the field was part of an abattoir.
I'm glad I didn't know then - it would've broken my heart.

Oh boy... I definetly have a few.

1:
I used to play this game called "Trash Can Fishing" with my friend Annie. We would dig around in the trash cans at school and fish out anything looking particularly delectable, especially chips. No, we did not wash it off.

2:
I read Harry Potter for the first time in second grade and I loved it!!! ...Buuuuut I was then afraid to go to the bathroom because basalisks. I always checked being the faucets for carvings of snakes.

3: I layed down on cement becaus It was warm.

4: One of my favorites: I wore heels to school every day pf third grade. Yes, even during P.E. Never sprained an ankle once

5: When I was in fourth grade, some sixth grade guys started picking on me. I told them to quit it. They continued to make fun of me. I just smiled innocently and told them, "I hear that the big kids like you are awfully afaid of teachers..." and they just laughed and pointed so I quick marched up to the office. One of them cussed and strted running. The other made somme scrawny excuse. As they turned back to look at me, I waved sweetly at at them and called, "Bye bye!"

I did similar with a shoe box. I put a caterpillar called Cynthia in there with a leaf to eat, a worm who's name I can't remember with a lump of soil, a beetle called Wiggawaggar with a daisy and a fly called Christopher with some dog poo to eat. They were all gone the next day too and I thought they'd eaten each other!

I spent a lot of time playing with chickens. My favourite game was to turn them into stunt chicks. I picked them up and ran around with them for hours, holding their wings closed, to let them experience what it was like to be flying like a stunt plane. I would hold them like that and let them run up the diagonal supports of the fence. So after a couple of days they actually learned to escape, running up the supports, wings flapping. :D

When I was a little girl, I went on a long car trip with my grandmother and other relatives. I had learned to read recently, and I was showing off my new skill by reading out loud every billboard we passed. After about an hour of this, my grandmother snapped at me: Dont you think you've read enough billboards? We all know you can read.

I have two... the first one: I used to plug my nose like you would when you jump in water and put my hand up behind my head to make a "fin" and pretend I was a shark... have no idea what was with the plugging of my nose or where I got the idea but 30 + years later I still treat shark week like a personal holiday... and also terrified of sharks... wth??
The second, not sure how "weird" it is but I get it from my father. I rock in my sleep (yes I wrote that correctly as in present tense because I STILL do it) I broke three cribs as an infant from doing it and still do it. Sucked while dating to try to explain this to people. My husband is awesome he knows that I do it and he also knows that if I do it a lot in a short amount of time (days) that I'm overly stressed. He also knows that IF it wakes him (I found a sound sleeper thank God) all he has to do is touch me ever so slightly and I'll stop. It's weird because I never knew I did it until my teens. I spent the night with a friend and she told me. I went home embarrassed and my dad was like, "Oh you get that from me... I broke beds too." I was like fantastic thank you. lol I've tried everything to not do it, but I can't break it. I've noticed one of my kids do it too. They never broke a crib but still inherited it. I just hope she doesn't get my insomnia as well.

I was about five and I would take my dad’s ashtray and hide behind the living room drapes. Then I'd scrape at the cigarette ash that was ground into the bottom of the ashtray with my fingernail-and eat it!

Also, at that age I took a wire hangar and held it in front of the wall plug, and then plugged the vacuum in to see what would happen. After the first electrical shock, I never tried THAT again.
