Funny Childhood Stories

Well I'm quite sure we ALL have some great, funny stories that happened back when were little ones. So I figured, why not post them and share some of the humor; after all a bit of humor never hurt anyone. Besides, it's a good thing when you can laugh at yourself and any embarressing moments you've had

Anyways, I remember one that happened on a weekend while I was attending primary school in Trinidad, which is the equivalent to middle school in the States (I think). Well, during that week we had just learnt what plants/seeds need to grow: sunlight, water, soil. So on that Sat, my grandmom had given me an orange to eat, and while I was eating it I swallowed some seeds. I thought nothing of it and went back to watching cartoons. But then this nagging thought came to mind: "What if the seeds grew inside my stomach?"
So I decided to test this out. Got myself 2 glasses of water and headed outside. I figured I wasn't going to eat any soil, 'cuz it's just nasty, so the seeds will have to do without it. Then I stood in the sun with my head tilted back and my mouth opened, so the sunlight could get into my stomach. After about 10 mins or so, I decided to go back inside, because the sun the was too hot and if the seeds decided to grow, well so be it... LOL

i remember i had a buddy who used to play sports with us...

He was this avid motorbiker and loved to race, and well, he used to think that if he made engine noises with his mouth, he could move much faster than the average human. It was rediculous seeing this kid running around like a chicken with his head cut off, making motorbike noises. It would make all of us laugh, although he was very serious about it. He'd threaten physical harm on you if you made a crack at him about it

Oh, gosh! My childhood was so long ago.....

Well, here's one:

When I was about 10 years old our family went for vacation to my step-dad's home place in Kentucky. I had made acquaintence with a step-cousin about my age and, together, we decided to host a 'weiner roast' for all the others.

We pooled our money and bought hot dogs, buns, potato chips and the toppins to go on everything and then selected a site to build the fire. We gathered several good size rocks from the surrounding area to build a ring around the fire and then started it up.

We actually had a really good time roasting those hot dogs. There were maybe a dozen or so of us kids there sharing in a good time.

Once we were finished it came time to put out the fire and the older boys, a few teenagers, began kicking the rocks away from the fire.

At that point, I said, "Why are you doing it that way? Why don't you just pick them up and throw them like this?" At that point, I grabbed a rock with my hand and VERY QUICKLY found out just exactly WHY they were doing it THAT WAY.

For the rest of our vacation and a couple of weeks after I had to be treated for blisters on the tips of ALL the fingers and thumb on my left hand.

I have NEVER picked up another hot rock to this day.

when i was about 10 the lone ranger was quite popular here in the UK , so one day we were playing and i was "random bad guy" trying to get away from the ranger

now our guns were just sticks our buildings wre just trees and our horses were just low walls

so being as i was on the run i figured i would do what i saw them do on the lone ranger show i would jump and land on the horse ready to ride instead of climbing on

so i got on to a slightly higher wall ..... i jumped i landed and i cried ... a lot

i didnt realise how much pain that would involve

my nacksack actually swelled over the next 3 hours and eventually i was taken to hospital for a 3 day stay while the swelling subsided

my most painful and embarrasing memory there

heh, i got loads...which to share.....

OK, at kindergarten graduation, I was in charge of leading everyone in the pledge of allegiance [I was the only one of the 15 kids who could remember all the words, in addition to or 4 lines we each had elsewhere in the program]. So anyways, we practiced and practiced, and then it came time to do it for real, and everyone's parents shwed up with their cameras and video cameras [big clunky VHS jobs

], and we all put on our little graduation caps and walk in. I get up to lead the pledge, and drop my hat at "to the flag", so I reached down to pick it up, and being right handed, did so with my right hand. I was smart enough to know not to put it on during the pledge, but apparently not smart enough to know that you always held your RIGHT hand over your heart, so I lead the graduation pledging with my left hand

When i was little, i was known to mistake people for my mom, because I never really looked up. I would go off somewhere, and look for someone that looked like my mom, and i always like, rested on them. I just remember weird looks that they gave me

i got nothing really...

worst ive got was when i was 5-7 i was rideing my toy tractor around the house. anyways, my dads downstairs and i wanted to go see him, but i didnt want to walk downstairs either. well just ride the tractor down 15 steps that are uncarpeted and unpadded.

after the 2nd step i learned that was a bad idea. i ended up rolling/bounceing my way down the steps only to land at the bottom and have my tractor fall ontop of me.

we found out that day that head wounds bleed, ALOT. was only the first of many more head wounds to come. thank god ive got one thick skull...

That story was awesome cairo

I remember a few episodes such as that too, usually involving fences of some kind. Chain link fences hurt a lot when you get your croch caught on the top of them

i got heaps, i was an , um, active child..

when i was about 6 - 8 yo (don't remember exact) we went on holiday.
and being as we were on holiday, we went and did fun stuff like riding quad bikes!
so I'm riding around this track set out in old tires, concerned parents looking on, and I took a corner just way too fast, ride into a pile of tires and go catrwheeling through the air. Hit the dirt face first and flipped over so I ended up face up, which is about when my own quad bike ran straight over my face.
queue a dozen people sprinting across the track convinced I was half dead.
so what did i do?
I shoved the guy in charge away from me and jumped back on the quad.
all I could think of was that we'd paid for a half hour, and I was wasting precious time
