Top Ten Dumbest Things We (Probably) All Did as Kids
Everyone was a child once (or you're a child reading this) and we all did stupid or embarrassing things, so why not add the dumbest things we all did as immature children?I always wondered why people do this. Maybe it's just that cool seeing a light go out? I sometimes still do this, being honest, and I have seen the light go off, so mission complete?
I remember doing this quite a bit when I was younger.
YES! I used to do that all the time.
I'm convinced this is a universal thing. Every kid I babysat before plays make believe with me almost the entire time. My friend and I always did too. I don't remember lots of it, but we used to pretend to be superheroes, and the people we were saving were our crushes. It kind of sucks that imagination dies down after a certain age.
I still have a strong imagination that keeps getting stronger each year.
I do it with my fake TV channel all the time.
Of course, this would be here. We were all dumb kids with little to no knowledge, so it's obvious we would do this. I'm pretty sure every child ate dirt at least once, even by accident.
Thinking about it now, some people still have this fear, and I honestly can't blame them. The dark is pretty scary when you think about it. Not being able to see anything is really chilling. I'm pretty sure we were told scary stories either by friends or family, making the fear worse.
I had to sleep with my light on and get my mom to turn it off when I fell asleep.
I'm going to be honest, I still do this. I honestly don't know why I did this. Maybe it was just my insane imagination or boredom, maybe both.
I do this still. I'm not ashamed. (Tip for competitive raindrop racers: the larger raindrops usually win.)
Despite loving salty stuff, I still have a sweet tooth, but not as big as when I was a child. I would eat cookies so much for snacks. I'm surprised I didn't get sick - oh wait, never mind, I did get sick once.
Sadly, I still kind of am. I try to eat healthier but I fail sometimes.
We all hated school, either forever or just one day. Maybe you had a test or forgot your homework, and what do you do? Give some "I don't feel good" and some coughing! It's foolproof unless they have a thermometer, which almost all of our parents have.
One time, I got sick and had to stay home, so my sister tried to get out of it too. She said, "I'm sick too!" Then she did a really bad fake cough. She's still defensive about that to this day.
I think I tried this once but failed.
Remember Cake By The Ocean? Animals? Bang Bang? Right Round? Man, I still can't believe I thought Right Round was about spinning in an office chair.
They're not that bad now. We just hadn't really expanded our palate, especially as a young child when sometimes we'd only eat things like pizza, burgers, chicken fingers, and almost anything that's dessert.
Let's be real here, we all hated at least one vegetable at some point in time, and I'm pretty sure toddlers hate vegetables the most.
When I was 5 years old, I seriously thought I could make a swing out of paper and pipe cleaners. I was very disappointed when I realized that the flimsy "swing" I tried to make couldn't support me the way a real swing would.
Yes, that's where the root of religion and other superstitions lies.
I remember a boy told me that if I wrote my name in mud, I would become a frog. I don't know why I believed that, and I sometimes wonder how I survived despite being a gullible kid.
The Newcomers
I used to think that until I was 8 1/2. Somebody online told me that the world doesn't revolve around me, so I stopped thinking that.
