| Childhood stories are funny and also it brings us back to remembering our childhood. One of the story that my parents always telling during bonding times is about what I do when I was a toddler. At the age of 2, I was the first one who wakes up and the last one to sleep. I am not sure why they are allowing me to be awake because they told me I was the last one to sleep. They said that I love watching television but I am only watching the commercials/advertisement. I don’t mind viewing the real program. I also let them stand up once the national anthem was playing on the radio or television. The television channels here are playing the national anthem before signing in and signing off. Even if my parents are already asleep, I will wake them up, including my sister and we were all standing, putting our right hand on our heart and singing the national anthem. If they will not follow what I said, I will do tantrums. I love screaming before, but anyway, I still love screaming at present… Share your childhood stories that you remember, toddlers to your teenager days. It could be funny, but anyway we are all intimate here, you could share everything, even your pictures.

| When I was about 8, I was playing at a baseball field with two boys. We live in an area that floods and it had recently flooded and the water had just receded. We’d climbed on top of one of the baseball dugouts and the challenge was to jump off. I was the youngest by 3 years so no one expected me to do it. The oldest boy took a flying leap off and dared me to follow. Me, in my little pink bowed sandals, took a running jump off right after him! The other boy was too scared to run and sat down on the edge then dropped off. That night I was officially the coolest kid ever to some young teenage boys. | |
| @lolaze first of all, I love the username, second, wow! The is the coolest thing ever. I think they find you very brave enough to jump with them. What are you thinking before doing it? Are you scared, you need to impress them or you just want to do it because they are doing it? | |
| @grecy095 It was so long ago…I remember being scared but I think I wanted to impress the boys since they were both quite a bit older than me. I wanted to be thought of as brave and not be thought of as a scared girl. I even skinned my knee when I landed and didn’t even wince. I was a bit of a rough and tumble girl – I didn’t mind getting dirty. Around age 10 I started climbing trees and would climb 10 and 12 feet up easily. Scared my mom silly. | |
| You sound like very touch @lolaze and that is good. Not only to impress, but for sure not really to impress but to try out things that guys do, that guys think they could only you know that kind of things. Me, I had shared a lot of “I am scared moments” before but when it comes to impressing someone, I really try and then it is up to me if I will continue to get scared or not. While climbing trees, did you safely get down? I love climbing trees. When I was 8 I was fat but I love trees. I am always on top of the trees. My playmates call me monkey and I call them ants. Lol | |
| @grecy095 I was a crazy little tree climber. More often than not, I’d just let go and let myself fall to the ground (which below the trees I usually climbed was all rocks). I always had bruises on my legs as kid and scrapes too! Then my dad bought me a bike and that took my attention away from the trees. | |
| @lolaze you are lucky to be interrupted with tree climbing because of a bike. I remember we owned a bike and I never learned how to ride it. I can’t have my balance. Even now that I grow older, I am still a tree climber. And I found out that it is hard to climb a tree when you are wearing jeans. | |
| when I was young, I was a gate climber instead of a tree climber. You know the grill gate the locks the carporch of our home? Well at that time, my mom was chit chatting with a fellow neighbor over the gate. I was curious. I climbed up the gate up to the highest peak . On top of the gate, there were sharp pointed arrows which are embed in order to prevent thieves from climbing over the gate. My upper jaw got hooked onto one of the arrows, I slipped and feel to the ground. I couldn’t feel the pain but I was almost black out. I saw blood oozing from my hands, my mouth and my shirt. My mom was screaming like hell. She pleaded my neighbor to send me to the hospital. Got my jaw sewed up, stopped the bleeding. That was the bloodiest childhood memory I could remember

| Oh you hurt yourself @peachpurple, maybe it was out of curiosity and of course, because you are still young, you like to try new things that is why you got that. For sure you get traumatized from that and avoiding those sharp arrows. That was too sharp to hit your jaw and because you are young, your skin was soft that it could get hooked easily. I think I felt the pain when you describe how it happened. That is super painful for sure but because you were shock you don’t feel anything. If I were you, when I saw a blood already, I will be fainting. I remember one instances that a teacher was asked me to buy a liter of soft drink outside school. Because the bottle was wet and cold, it slipped on my hand and fell on the ground. The glass broke and some sharp glasses went to my feet. It was blood all over me and the teacher fainted. Really, she fainted first before me? Someone fixed my wounds and I survived the bloody experienced.

| Oh, my!! Where to begin other than I’m old enough that we literally had to walk miles to get to school. We had snow that came over the clothesline!! I remember that I was suppose to be the flower girl for a friend’s wedding. Well, a couple of days before the wedding, I was riding my bike and crashed!! I scraped my knees, elbows and nose. I was the flower girl, but I was getting more comments than the bride!! lol When I was even younger than that my mom said I would take her brush and stand in front of the mirror and spin around using the brush as my microphone, singing to Tommy Roe’s “Dizzy!!” All I would do was sing dizzy and turn round and round!! lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbdtQ99yIUo | |
| @4cryingoutloud you made me laugh when you said you get more comments than the bride. For sure when you turn around and around, you got dizzy and that was a perfect song sis!! Miss you. | |
| @grecy095, glad I could make you laugh!! Yeah, I was all scraped up and people were hovering over me, wondering what happened to me!! lol Yeah, I guess I fell a few times from going around and around!! lol Silly child!! Miss you too!! <3 | |
| This is quite interesting. In my childhood, I preferred studies in school rather than mischief (I was also mischievous but not that intolerable). While I was not the most meritorious, I was the one whom even the “Topper” consulted at times. During examination, I was always surrounded by copycats. I never liked disturbance during examinations. I too copied but the probability of that was 0.1% and that was done quietly. So, I decided NOT to move during examination. The person behind me shouted at my back demanding help. I did not respond till the exam was over. Finally, when the exam was over – I turned my back asking what the query was. Examination was not the only time when I met those copycats. I used to complete all assignments before everyone knew and people used to demand for copying. The simple approach is to say “NO” but again it was emotional blackmail. They used to say – help us for humanity and friendship cause. OMG – I can’t imagine those words linked here. There was a way out – I wrote 45 page assignment (to answer 4 questions) and uploaded scan. I also made public announcement that this is the link to download. I did not say “NO” to anyone but made copying virtually unthinkable for most of them (who writes 11+ pages to answer 1 question?) |
