Things I still wonder why the hell I did that as a kid...

[TonytheFish]

20 years later, this still makes me wonder why I was such an odd child!

I was a bit shy granted, but still...

In 2nd year seniors, start of the new school year, new art class and teacher, everyone gets in and sits down at new desks, I was the last one in...and my spot at the table had no chair!

So, did I mention to the teacher that there was no chair! nope.

What I did, was sort of crouch down, into some fake sitting position and stay there for the entire double period! Pretending to sit! As if no one would notice...!

It is this sort of thing, that means I will never ever attend a school reunion!

Oh and once for some unknown reason my friends and I put a malteaser a minstral and an opal friut into a glass of lemonade. Then the next morning tried to flush it down the loo but malteaser wouldn't go so it had to be fished out.

The phrase a malteaser a minstral and an opal fruit was an in joke until we left school. We thought it was hysterical but I have no idea why.

Ah I also sat on a table in PE and sobbed - complete with snorting - because I didn't want to play badminton. To this day I cannot understand my complete overreaction. I didn't stop for the whole lesson.

When we were about 11/12 we used to put Vicks under our eyes so we had tears streaming down our faces and couldn't see anything and see how far we could walk without bumping into anything I'm still not sure why, but we did it all the time, it really hurt too.

These are bloody brilliant


At the age of about 11, me and 3 friends decided we were going to change the world with our inspirational, charity supporting songs.

We sang about children in need, animal cruelty and helping old people. All complete with naff dance moves. We used to gang up on the head of year and make him let us sing in assembly.

We also did a great rap about the teachers once.



We were fucking cool.

These are so funny but I'm trying really hard not to laugh as I have broken ribs (not succeeding).

Oh, i found some porno mags inside a bush in the park, took them home and put them in my brothers bedside cabinet which were subsequently discovered and he got the blame....

I did a poo in that same bush - disclaimer: it was a massive bush that you could fit about 5 people inside and I was desperate. I have no idea what I wiped my arse with

My friend and I used to put on lisps and ask strangers what the time was.

I used to bang my head off the door so I would get a bruise and then tell people I had been in a car crash, so they would think we were posh enough to have a car :o

When I was in junior school we got a teachers consent to perform a dance for all the infants. It was a very suggestive routine, involving chairs and was toSamantha Fox's Touch me. Slightly inappropriate on many many levels.

In high school aged 12 we rang the fire brigade a few times to tell them school was on fire in hope we would get sent home early.

Aged about 15 we would occasionally shoplift alcohol from the co-op at lunch time and pretend all afternoon to be drunk.

I don't think anyone I associate with now would believe any of those above stories.

[PastaandCheese]

The prank calls is bringing back memories. Do teens still do that or is it just a pre Internet thing?

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

I feel refreshingly normal reading the posts. Or, at least, what I thought was my crazy behaviour is actually in line with many many others!!

[TonytheFish]

soontobeslendergirl oh my, I once, about aged 11, repeatedly hit myself in the face, around the eye, with a hardback book, to give myself a black eye, as I had never had one before! I then pretended I had been in a fight!

I am convinced my parents must have been drugging me! it is just not normal is it!

We had a game in P7 as well which was for about 3 weeks hysterically funny. Can't remember why it started but the gist was one girl (always the same one) going into the loo and pretending to give birth. Another girl was the midwife, who coached her through the door. I was the granny. Everyone had some sort of weird role. The babies were purely imaginary however every single one was named - we had Charlie Brown to begin with, then Polly, Fanny, Willy, Dick and Shag - you get the picture. There was a full story line that we followed and for some reason we never forgot it - we could recite it each lunchtime from beginning to point we were at.. We had a first aid manual that helped no end - much hysteria at the fact that the woman in the manual had pubes..

I think it was when a new girl came that we realised how strange our game was and we stopped.

Took my mates Labrador out for a walk ..wearing dark glasses and pretending to be blind (aged 12)

[soontobeslendergirl]

Nope tonythefish definitely not normal - we must have been crying out for attention :(

When I was 8 I thought I would quite like to wear some make up to the school disco, except I didn't have any, because I was 8. So instead of nicking some of my mum's DULL brown eyeshadow I used the blue face paint crayon on my eyelids and the red one on my lips.

My friends all rightly laughed at me cnd I spent most of the disco in the girls loos trying to scrub it off with bog roll, soap and water.

[AmysTiara]

I stuck my head i a holly bus to see what it felt like. It hurt. A lot

[Stockhausen]

Im another one who sharpened their pinky!!

[TonytheFish]

I used to waste tubes an tubes of bonjela, by spreading it around my chin, so it could dry and I could peel it off!

[AmysTiara]

Holly bush sorry

[Gatekeeper]

reading these and remembering lots of other daft things I did has made me realise that my own offspring have no imagination at all
Pah!

My mother used to spend ages doing my hair up until I was around 8ish, when I decided to play with my aunt's round hairbrush. I got it tangled in my hair at the back and couldn't get it out. I left my aunt's house rather hurriedly with my hood up and ran home. Went straight up to my room armed with a pair of scissors and cut out the brush, leaving only the bottom layer of hair at the back. My mother obviously found out. I don't remember the rollicking I had, but do remember sitting in the hairdressers surrounded by tutting old ladies.

I had a lovely Suzy Quattro style for quite a while after that.

Stole some sweets from my mum's stash she was saving to give us for Christmas. Instead of just confessing it was me when she discovered some were missing (the fun size Mars) I made up a long winded story about being blackmailed and the police got involved and my school and it was just awful.

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

TonytheFish - I did that with a hairbrush. Clearly my face doesn't bruise that much as I never managed to get a bruise.

[MummyPig24]

I used to make up very detailed stories on the PC. I cringe thinking that my mum must have read them.

My friend and I had a crush on a boy in yr.6 and we were him a valentines card, sellotaped love hearts in it and dropped it off at his house whilst out riding our horses.
