Silly things you did/thought when you were younger

Well, the title explains it all. Post funny things you thought or did when you were younger.

Okay, this was around 2-4 years old

My mom had just gotten a new comforter and she was busy making my birthday cake. My sister comes running and tells her to come upstairs. She had this doll maker thing. I had gotten into it and started painting things, including the new comforter.

But, wait, there's more!

My mom went upstairs to clean up the bedroom. Mom says that I ended up eating my cake while she was upstairs.

Heh....seems like I was planning something.

Actually....I think I ruined two birthday cakes in a row.
 
EVERYTHING I did when I was younger was stupid. Well I cracked my head open for a start.
 
When I was 11 I believed that Roman Catholicism was the religion observed by the ancient Romans. (It's funnier that I wasn't even particularly young. xD)

When I was 2 I ate cat food.

When I was 7, I went to the toilet at the start of the lesson and hid in the cloakroom rather than going back, because I suppose I just didn't feel like going back to the lesson. When I emerged about two hours later nobody had even noticed I was gone, which is slightly unsettling.
 
I called burger king Boogar king xD

When I was 4 or 5 I told my aunt that I was going hunting with daddy and was going to 'unzip me an Elk' XD She freaked out. lol

I cut my own hair. :3
 
I kept hurting myself.

A list:

I ate rat poison
I fell through a frozen lake (after thinking it would hold my weight)
I tripped on some concrete steps and smacked my head, needing a bunch of stitches
I walked on a bonfire and stood there till my shoes melted
I put my hand on a glass-fronted furnace
I stood on a dog's foot, making him attack me
I broke my arm, went to the crappiest hospital ever and now it's wonky

Yeah.
 
Holy cow Dannichu, how did you survive childhood 0.0

Anyway, I used to think that if I stepped on a purple floor tile, I'd get sucked into a secret lab and be used for top-secret experiments. I think I was about four or five at the time. I stepped on one once, though, and I was just fine.

Oh, and I thought that you had to marry your brother or sister and have children with them and all that stuff. This is mainly due to hardly even knowing my father's side of the family.

I thought homosexuality was caused by having so many siblings of the opposite sex that you were just turned off of the entire sex forever.
 
Let's see... the first few are from when I was in the 5 through 8 range. Though the Pokémon ones are later, from when I was 12 or 13.

  • Pronounced "yogurt" like "yo grit"
  • Pronounced "parmesan" like "par mee zee an" (apparently I thought it was "Parmesian," as in "from some place called Parmesia.")
  • Thought a "cradle" was some kind of little red bug
  • Pronounced "Pokémon" as "Pockymon" for several months (before I found out how it was supposed to be pronounced)
  • Pronounced "Pikachu" as "Pih-KAH-chu" during that same period of time... not just "Pickachu" like most of the other people who had no idea how to pronounce it: I put some weird emphasis on the "ka," for some reason
  • Pronounced "Raichu" as "Rachu" back then, also. No idea why...
  • Tried to guess the types of all the Pokémon before I actually had any way of knowing what they really were; I was pretty close with a lot of them, but others were further off: Koffing and Weezing were Poison/Flying, the Nidorans were Normal, Tauros was Fire (not sure why), Dratini and Dragonair were Dragon/Water while Dragonite was pure Dragon, Porygon was Psychic, most of the Rock/Grounds were just Rock, and so on
  • Going along with the type guessing, I had no idea that Pokémon could only have two types at the time... so before I actually got the game, I thought Beedrill and Venomoth were Bug/Poison/Flying
  • Actually believed the "Mew under the truck" rumor until I tried it (though, if I remember right, that was the only "get [rare pokemon of the day]" rumor I ever believed)
  • Made up the Food, Kirby, Slug, and Alien types, which I used for some of my first Fakémon way back then... I know Slug was weak against Food (salt!) but good against Water and Grass, and Kirby was immune to Food but very weak to Poison, but I can't remember much of anything about the Alien type.

You should have been kept wrapped in bubble wrap and on a leash since birth, Dannichu. xD

How did the poison taste?
 
Oh, and once a social worker came around when I was really young to see if I was living in a safe environment etc.

I was, but I wrote the word "Bot" (as in a person's bottom) in a piece of paper for them. My parents got me to change it to "Robot", and the person found it really impressive.

Oh, don't I know it.

Hehe, I can't remember; I was about four when it happened and was told about it when I was older. Apparently, I wandered into my playgroup's kitchen, found a box of blue, sweet-looking things, and the next thing anybody knew, I was being rushed to A&E for stomach-pumping fun. X3
 
Stupid things? Let's see...

I headbutted a can of juice back in high school, causing my eyebrow to gush with blood and eventually scar. The guy who was holding the can wouldn't stop saying how sorry he was, even though it was me who headbutted it.

Also, when I was about 3 or 4, I used to think that when someone walked into the white smoke in the tv show stars in their eyes, they would die and never come back out (I thought it was a different person that came out), causing me to scream in terror whenever it came on.
 
Okay, let's see.

Brewed "potions" out of toiletries and tried to dissolve the ground.

I tried to jump from a ten foot wall into a three foot by one plastic box. And succeeded. But the box slipped and I split my head open.

Split my head open playing tag. I got tossed against a stonedash wall.
