Post Random Stuff You Remember

[Alice]

(If this is really goof-off material, could a mod move it, for me?)

But.... here's a Random Thing I Remember.

One time, we were at a show about reptiles, and the reptile man had a large alligator (not as big as him but still big). And he was talking about how it was too big, and he was going to eat it soon.

He said this in front of the little kids who were there.

The parents all looked shocked and discomfited, especially when they found out he meant it. But the children seemed nonplussed. One of the little girls said, "When he's big enough to eat you, it's fair."

And the guy said, "Exactly."

I still haven't figured out why the little kids weren't grossed out but the parents were.

I remember when I was about 2, putting a penny in my mouth. And when I about 3, I thought that Jesus had magic boots so he could fly to heaven.

Hm, I remember a few years ago I found a huge grasshopper in my room, and I spent nearly an hour trying to convince it to come out of its hiding place so I could kill it. I don't know why I thought talking to it would really make it come out, but oh well. Lol.

I remember when I was three being electrocuted. I stuck a metal key in an electrical socket, and was thrown across the room. But I remained unharmed and walk a way with out any pain at all.

sticking legos up my nose... and swallowing them through my nose

I remember stepping on a curling when I was about 4 (I think), it peeled my skinzorz, hurt like heck.

I was playing flashlight hide and seek at nighttime in my family’s forest. I found the perfect hiding place off in the woods when I heard something growling 15 feet behind me. I slowly walked away from my hiding place back to the house and called the rest of the people playing to come in out of the woods. As soon as we got into the house we heard the most horrendous scream. It sounded like a women screaming. Well, as foolish as it was, my older brother and I went back out into the woods to chase down whatever had made that noise and had growled at me. We chased that creature all over the woods and finally scared it away, but not before getting a good look at it…it was a mountain lion.

the reason is because kid... their logic is.... well.... sorta so complex its so.... simple.... kinda like this:

This test consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Scrolldown for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

[spoiler]The correct answer is:Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.

This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.[/spoiler]

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

[spoiler]Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?" Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator]

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend.........except one. Which animal does not attend?

[spoiler]Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.

This tests your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.[/spoiler]


4. There is a river you must cross, but it is inhabited by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. And there is no bridge How do you manage it?

[spoiler]Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across.

Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal conference.

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.[/spoiler]

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all answers wrong, but manypreschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

see, children's thinking patterns are... different... as kids are naive and don't tend to "overanalyze" like us older people do... and being naive they don't think eating reptiles is really "gross" although im sure many did... they probably thought it was cool


i think im going way off topic

I remember my sis' first birthday when I was like 2. She got this pink, plastic tricycle, and I had one like it that was black, so I ran over and pulled mine out.
Then we went out side and got in this kiddie pool, and was in nothing but my underwear. O_O
I also have this very vivid memory when I was 4 of walking from my nana's house to our car to leave, and it was night and I was carrying this fuchsia colored stuffed stegosaurus I hadn't gotten from my other grandparents and I was smiling about it.
The wierdest thing is, I remember it from someone else's point of view, looking at myself, yet it was definetely me and the moment had not been filmed. O__o

[ninjaduckofdoom]

I remember my sister and I used to stick straws in pickles and suck out the juice!

[Joshua Christopher]

H. R. Puff'nStuff.

What stuff he was puffing is up for debate.

Fraggle Rock. YES.

[Danyasaur]

. . . I remember making a music video with my brother when I was 5 <_< . . . my brother made up a song about Earthworm jim XD we've never let him off the hook for that one

[haru_bay_nay]

O.O Wow. You guys have stories that are almost as weird as mine.

I was supposedly "precocious" as a child, but it didn't show often because of my utter lack of any common sense whatsoever. I have a very vivid memory of when I was kindergarten. My best friend and I were in my backyard, which is huge(we live in the country) and has hay bales that we loved to climb up on. Well, anyway, the hay bales are tied with this weird stringy, wiry stuff, and we were high off of the ground, so I said, "Hey, Ann, let's go bungy jumping!" She told me it was a bad idea, but I didn't listen, of course. I tied the wire tightly around my waist and proceeded to leap off of the hay bale. Good thing she was there, 'cuz the wire just about cut me in half. I remember not being able to breathe and having this horrible constricting feeling. I screamed for her to pull me back up, and she did. I had purple whelps on my sides for a while, but I turned out okay. When I got back up there, all she said was, "Stupidhead. I told you that was a bad idea."

[White Raven]

I remember when I was about 4or 5,
I was giving water to the families dog. And he got his chain wrapped around my neck. Before I passed out I could see my older sister, who was about fifteen at the time, just standing there looking at me and screaming.
I tried to get the chain off but my sis screaming made the dog freak out, so he was pulling it tighter.
My mom got to me after I was passed out.
That day I learned not to get to close to the dog, and not to depend on my sister in a emergency.

[faithfighter]

x__x makes perfect sense! lol

yep...thats me the sister of the amazing HolyS, future bestselling writer!

[Otaku10]

I remember when I was 12 that my dad name our dog "Ugly". Seriously he named it "Ugly".

[JoyfullShadow]

I remember when i was about 8, i had a fever and my mom axedently drugged me, she gave me an adult dose is that how u spell it) of Tylenol and the last thing i remember is looking @ the t.v. while laying on the floor and when i woke up it was dark

[holysoldier5000]

I remember when my sister (faithfighter) and I started playing with action figures together…we couldn’t ever keep the characters who they were supposed to be and we gave them all new names and super powers. But our superhero adventures always had a comical twist. Like the super heroes and the super villains did not have enough money to afford the rent of having their own individual bases, so they just got one big base and split the rent and the rooms. The superheroes got the upstairs and the villains got the down stairs. Of course every other Thursday was invasion day, where the villains would try to take possession of the upstairs half of the base from the superheroes…go figure.

[haru_bay_nay]

Dude... I don't actually remember this happening *ducks as faithful topic-followers throw random objects at her*, but my mom always talks about this one time when I was 2, she was cleaning the floors with Mr. Clean(which was sitting invitingly in a big bucket), and while she wasn't looking, I decided to drink as much as a two-year-old can. Luckily, I didn't have to go to the hospital or anything, but I blame that incident for most of my weirdness issues, and am proud to say that my stomach is very clean.

[mitsuki lover]

When I was in kindergarten my birthday fell on the day after one of those
big old Minnesota blizzards(members in the Midwest can relate to what
it must have been like the next day),and since my birthday is St.Patrick's
Day my mom had made some shamrock cookies for the class.Needless to say when my dad and I got to the school it was closed for the day.
And you know got to eat almost all of the cookies!
(Well ok I think I did wind up having to share with my sisters and our
neighbors.)

That is so funny, I want to steal it and stuff it in a comedy story! But... I won't, don't worry. ^.^

[mitsuki lover]

I remember when comic books could still be bought for about a quarter
to fifty cents per copy.

[ChristianKitsune]

Letshee...when I was four..I thought I could fly so I jumped off a dresser to do so...and I knocked out my two front teeth...

I was also electrocuted I stuck a screw driver into an electric heater...It caused sparkes and I was shakey for a few minutes...

[haru_bay_nay]

I remember that I thought God was female up until about age 4. O.O I dunno why... I guess I viewed God as a motherly type of figure... Anyway, when I referred to him as "She" one day, my mom set me straight.

There was a curve on the street we used to live on that always reminded me of a race track. The road was banked, and my dad would accelerate around it when we went anywhere. Fun times.
