Something you did as a child...

Cut my friend's hair during arts and crafts.

Spin uncontrollable around in circles......well I did until one day I smashed my chin off the corner of the couch, and the scar I have is a reminder to never spin like a loony again.

Play Ocarina of Time as my first 3d game while it was still a current game. Or at least that would count if the 3DS version didn't exist

So instead I will go with played through Majoras Mask while it was still current and being stunned by how amazingly fleshed out the world was.

Ooh, I have a better one... I think. Went on a trampoline with friend, stuck tongue out for joy, came down with friend's head below my chin... I'll leave the rest to the imagination.

I was a teenager at the time though, so it doesn't really count. (shuffles awkwardly out of thread)

If we're talking injuries I kind of remember going head first off the top bunk in a hotel once, which also has a story after it as it was when I was in primary school and not long before I was to go on the school camp which had 3 bunks high.
So in the end my parents said that I wasn't really allowed to be on the top but as I got my form in I got the top spot which was brilliant and ironic.

Oh and I also got drunk as a baby

ooft! I've also fell off the top bunk before, I was resting on a big cushion & I didn't notice it was draping over the edge slightly & I fell off head first doing a complete backflip but landing safely on the cushion.

I did see my life flash before my eyes.

I somehow managed to not land on my head after yeah going head first straight down to the floor

I was in Y4 then ( by the way, this was a school trip) but I went to Temburong ( a place in Brunei ), and it was the middle of the night, my friend gave me some crisps and the teacher were yelling in the girls room and I was still eating. Lol. My friends couldn't stop laughing!

Keeping with the topic of chin injuries and bunk bed accidents, well yes, I did not escape my childhood injury-free in either respect. It didn't help that I was (and still am) the clumsiest and most uncoordinated klutz around.

I managed to trip down an entire flight of stairs aged six and landed bang on my chin at the bottom. I have the scar to prove it. And on the bunk bed front, I had situated myself directly in front of the gap where you climb from the ladder into the top bunk and was hammering rather vigorously on that kiddies' rainbow xylophone that most toddlers have, when the xylophone decided to fight back and the beater bounced off the bars towards my face. I lunged backwards to avoid it and consequently went lurching towards the carpet. Initially it was fine as I'd landed on my back, and I spent a few milliseconds thinking about what a lucky escape I'd had, when I saw the bastard xylophone that I'd tossed into the air as I'd fallen hurtling towards my face...

Nice.

Then there was the time when, at age 2, I was taken up a slide by my mother, who ran round to the bottom of the slide to catch me. Then I decided to try and climb back down the slide ladder...

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that made me chuckle.

Kids were sturdier back then, weren't they?

I remember falling off my bike, face-first into a rosebush as a small child. Hilarious in retrospect; less funny at the time.

I'm sorry, but how did no-one ask about this?!

What, did you not get fed Old Scrumpy's Scrumpy as a nipper, Jay?

Nah, go on. Spill the beans, Shanks!

I'm sure pissed babies are commonplace in certain circles of society these days. *coughJeremyKylecough*

I'm Scottish, so a dram of whiskey in the bottle was commonplace for me, of course.

Any fellow sports players do "turn around, touch the ground, bagsy not in net"?

Alrighty then, this is all according to my dad but one Xmas family party my cousin and I were crawling around underneath their chairs and well we found our dads beer cans and as baby's do down the hatch it went..

And that wasn't the only time either



And I can beat the stairs thing although it was only last year..

I fell down all of 2 stairs after being distracted by someone doing something weird in their car in our court I took a step and slipped and well this happened:




And my foot is now stuffed completely

Oh god, your foot!

Lovely. I preferred the drunk babies story, to tell you the truth! But did it not taste horrible? I can't really stomach beer to this day.

I was too young to tell, but it could be the reason why I love beer and have a higher tolerance to alcohol.

And yeah with my foot I now can no longer walk a decent distance without it going out on me, and there is a constant ache so yeah it's fooked

Right where do I start...

Apparently as a bitter my favourite game was just to run forward a bit, jump in the air and land on my knees. I guess it didn't hurt because I didn't have far to go.

As a"child" child, like primary school, I was pretty quiet and boring.it wasn't until secondary school I realised how much I like doing idiotic things to make people laugh. I ate a stone,a button and some blu tac on three separate occasions as dares. I lied down in a muddy poodle and pretended to swim (which was hilarious, but made my last lesson unbearable).

Oh and one time in science, a girl spilled hydrochloric acid on my seat and wouldn't clean it up because she was scared to touch it. So to prove it wasn't dangerous, I drank the rest of the beaker. Then she got all panicky so I drank the alkali as well.

On the subject of bunk beds: I managed not to fall of mine, but on m numerous occasions I banged my head out cut my hand open on the ceiling.

On the subject of drinking: I live in somerset, so giving cider to kids is basically standard practise, but I never got drunk until I was 18. I then spent the next post of two years getting plastered because I thought I was so cool. Still can't stand the years of beer, though. I can just about handle something like Coors Light or Rolling Rock, but I mostly stuck to him and tonic or cider.

I guess you could say you...

...Neutralised the threat.

yeahhhhhh



(But really though, ick.)

So... how did that go down? I know it's just meant to be water and salt, but...

I can't imagine well. Hydrochloric acid is probably more potent than stomach acid, so there's all sorts of problems there, and tossing alkali into the mix doesn't help.
