lighthearted thread!
what was the silliest, daftest or riskiest thing you did when you were a child, or even in the past when you were younger?
I was very, very young (junior school age, around 9, maybe younger) and watched an older sibling apply fake eyelashes and was really jealous- obviously I wasn't allowed access to them. I 'borrowed' a set from my sisters room, went onto youtube, watched how to apply them and decided to try and use my gluestick to apply them which unsurprisingly didnt stick them down so in my wisdom I moved onto the next most logical thing- superglue from my dads cupboard. I don't know why I didnt realise it would be dangerous, I just thought it would be a great idea and I would have lovely big eyelashes and I would be popular at school. I think I must have thought that superglue was the same as the glue people put their eyelashes on with. Unfortunately that didnt happen, and I rubbed superglue onto my eyelid and tried to stick the fake eyelashes onto it- only to find my eye was now glued shut. I was told at the hospital that I was very, very lucky that the glue was only on my eyelid and since it was sealed shut, hadn't gone on my eye-ball at all.
That was easily the stupidest thing, although I have heard stories of others doing it too so at least I wasn't the only daft child that wanted fake eyelashes!
I also used to play on ice as a child which we never thought of as being dangerous, and we climbed huge trees and had absolutely no fear of falling from so high! Now as an adult I hate heights and I feel queasy looking over the side of the escalator.
so, what silly, daft, embarrassing or frankly dangerous things did you do when you were younger? 🙂
