stupidly innocent things you did as a kid

When I was 7 I visited crag caves, and reached over a railing when nobody was looking and touched a staligmite. A lot of clay came off onto my hand. Later in my teens I found out this would have taken decades to form just this amount and Iv been feeling guilty about it ever since:(

Jaysus you're mad! :pac:

Went to mass.

Decades?

Centuries to form would be more correct

i actually fancied older girls, i was a dirty little bugger

I kept trying to carry myself by grabbing the back of my legs and lifting. Took me waaaaay too long to figure out why I kept hitting the ground (damn you gravity!) and I also suspect that this is where my intermittent back pain has it's roots.

When i was 4 i took chewing gum that i had found stuck to the road and peeled it off and started chewing it. My parents freaked out when they saw me.

Two weeks before my brother's first holy communion I gave him a hair cut, a very bad one

He had been using my dad's hairbrush and I told him that his hair would go grey (I actually said white) like our dad. My brother started crying so to stop him crying I told him that I could cut his hair before it got a chance to go grey

My mother was not impressed, there are no framed photos of my brother's communion

At a hotel in Majorca (I think, possibly Malta) when I was five.


"Mommy, look! They left chocolate on the bed. Ooh! White chocolate!"
"Tom, no! .. Oh God"


Yeah, it wasn't white chocolate, amazingly. I had suds coming out my mouth for hours

EverEvolving

My dad got sand delivered to do some building work in February when I was around 5, out I run in my swimsuit thinking it's summer and the beach has somehow come to us?!

Chuck Stone

I used to think I could jump further than I could (misplaced hoptimism :pac:) .

Many walks home soaked.

I was a blonde child and my best friend at the time was brunnete. In order for us to be "twins" I drank a whole bottle of calpol thinking my hair would change the colour as the child on the bottle:) I then learned it came from a different kind of bottle and eventually got what i wanted:)

I thought the suds were from his mother washing his mouth out afterwards.

Once when I was on holidays in Portugal. I stayed in the hotel room while mum and dad went for a bite to eat. They told me they'd be right back, I haven't seen them in years......

Aoifey!

When I was 4 I found what I thought was a sausage in a pile of sand and went to show my babysitter. She started screaming at me to put the cat poo down

When I was in 2nd class (about 7 years old?), a pair of twins had started school (4 years old) and they had no sense as of yet.

What used to happen was that a lot of the older boys and girls would get penny sweets and scatter them on the concrete play area and watch the twins who would run around excitedly, scooping up the sweets and eating them.

It was like feeding the pigeons on Trafalgar square.

It was Portugal.

At least get it right.

When I had the tight elastic at the end of my tracksuits I always used to spend ages playing with the marks left by them, had great fun with it so I did :L

I used to be given a vitamin C tablet daily, and the cover of the bottle depicted some wholesome children playing on a swing. Thinking that taking loads of these would increase my youthfulness and energy, I managed to guzzle the whole bottle of pills when my mother was in the garden.

My concerned mother quickly contacted some crowd like the National Poison Helpline for advice and was told not to worry, as the human body eventually just ejects the surplus vitamin C.

I have no recollection of this, but apparently I managed to coat the entire bathroom in the runniest layer of sh!te.

Yes. Yes I was.

Lady Chatterton

In the weeks running up to Christmas my mam used to store bottles of whiskey, brandy, chocolates and boxes of sweets at the bottom of her wardrobe.

My brother and I found a large box of Lemon's sweets (the ones with the picture of Santa on the box) and we opened the box from underneath. Every night we would steal a few sweets from the box but the box looked perfectly intact. When we had eaten more than half the contents of the box we decided we needed to do something to make up for the lost weight, so we gathered pea gravel from the garden and started wrapping up the stones and putting them into the box.

My mother gave away that box of sweets stones as a present, I often wondered who received it :pac: :pac: :pac:

Superbus

When I was 3 I put a load of pebbles up my nose that had to be surgically removed.

My mother used to make buns which had icing sugar and jam on top. Me and my brother used to lick the tops and then put fresh jam back on them so our mother wouldn't notice. Tasty!!!

I did this too. Wasn't pebbles, it was one those light bright things. you'd put a black sheet of paper over the light part and stick these bright coloured pegs into it and make them light. I must have thought the same thing would happen to me by sticking it up my nose but all i remember is the pain i was in when the doc put some contraption up my tiny nose to get it out. Wasnt bright!

I used to put sand in my hair just to pick it out! Very satisfying.

We use to swipe Hilti type bullets from a slaughterhouse up the road from our national school and set them off by dropping a cast iron shore drain on top of them.

Karona

Oh some of these have really made me laugh.

I was out playing on the street when I was about 6 and I came across a used razor and decided to shave my face like my Dad did (even though I'm a girl) came into the house covered in blood. A trip to the hospital and a bollocking off my Mam and I was grand.

I used to suck the snails in the garden.

When I was about 10 I tightened the backs of my earrings so much that they actually went into my earlobes, earned myself a trip to hospital for that.

At about 6 I found some balloons in my parent's room and had a great time playing with them, though I wondered why they were all wet. My dad hid his condoms better after that.

Tesco Massacre

I robbed my gran's special turban-esque mass hat and wore it for a fancy dress competition. I went as Ali Baba.

Gran wasn't happy, nor was my mum who grounded me. Joke was on them, though...I won 1st prize! But seriously, RIP, Gran. That hat was the business.

I took an egg out of the fridge and put it on the radiator thinking that if it got warm enough it would hatch.

Aoifey!

I used to have "pet" snails and flies. One day I left the snails in a bath of dirty water for too long and they all dissolved I was so upset.

Fremen

When I was about four, I helped myself to a big spoonful of flour straight out of the bag, thinking it was sugar.

Tesco Massacre

I used to think D'Olier st. was pronounced Dollyer Street. And Harcourt st. was Hardcore st.

Jesus, I was dense.

time lord

I tried to drink a mug of water through my nose. I could of been the first Irish kid found drowned in middle of a bedroom:D

Even if you'd got the correct bag, that'd still be disgusting.

My bedroom was upstairs and I used to have these hot chocolate sachets in my bedroom which I used to make with the hot water from the bathroom tap :o In fairness though I didn't realise I wasn't supposed to drink it!

I also once narrowly avoided getting hit by a train but that was the mothers fault for letting me play on the tracks!!

froglet

i must have been evil.
i sprayed loads of perfume into some tablet bottle thinking id posion my mother off!!!!!:eek:

When I was very young, I taught shoplifters were people who worked in shops and whose job it was to carry or lift bags for old people and pregnant women.

I did similar around 5/6, got in to the shopping one day before it was put away, found dad's disposable razors and decided to have a dry shave - still have a scar on my face and vague memory of blood everywhere.

Lad I know used to suck on pieces of coal. Bit of an odd thing to do
