Going back to my roots... Childhood

[alex_Lei1993]

Oh my god, I just had the most fun I ever had this year with my best friend. See, we're both 15 years old and we just did countless things that are considered really stupid and immature. We were bored as hell and decided to have a little fun reminiscing our childhood. I'll make a list of all the things we did:

 

 

 

-Danced in front of cars

 

-Played Red Light/Green Light

 

-Did an impromptu neighbourhood obstacle course

 

-Mooned each other while running down the street

 

-Spun until we got dizzy

 

-Log Rolled for 100 meters

 

-Shadow Tag

 

-Spank Tag :thumbsup:

 

-Find as many sexual innuendos as we can

 

-Find as many things that could make us go "WTF?"

 

-Doing tricks over 2 soda cans :

 

-Eating Leaves

 

 

 

So my question to you guys is, have you ever had a moment where you felt like a little kid again? Have you ever had the urge to do really childish things?

[Zierro]

When I'm around little kids I sort of feel like one and remember what it was like. Playing any sort of sport or video game makes me feel younger too.

[Tom_Servo]

You ate leaves? Why? The other stuff I can get, but why would shove a leaf into your mouth like a toddler? Oh well, whatever floats your boat man.

 

 

 

The only thing I can think of right now that me and my friends do that is childish is make really really stupid/immature/incoherent jokes about stuff/people. You know, slap happy stuff and whatnot.

Yeah, its the same for me. Kinda like that episode of the Twilight Zone where the old people became young again by playing kick the can.

 

 

 

 

 

Uh.. I guess something that reminds me of childhood would be getting a couple friends to all eat a ton of chips and then spin around in circles for a few minutes. :)

[Giordano]

Ehh, I didn't do a lot of crazy stuff in my early years. Not until I met my friends in Middle School. But with my two best friends in 7th and 8th grade...wowzers. :ohnoes:

 

 

 

*Cue Ode to Joy*

 

-Chucked left-over applesause containers to litte 6th graders as their walking by. "ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT!!" We weren't trying to hit them though, just near them to scare the crap outta them.

 

 

 

-Smacked each other with energy swords. Aka cardboard lunch trays.

 

 

 

-Produced a little bit of vomit and see who would step in it (only one of us produced the vomit. I would of never done that.)

 

 

 

-Aiming ranch at my pants so I had to dodge it cuz my mom would be furious. "Dance Nick, dance!" I hated that one... :evil:

 

 

 

-Slapped the fat of this one annoying kid and see him chase me. Trust me, with his fat it didn't last very long.

 

 

 

-One friend put his watch out of his mouth and his shoes on his hands and did some sort of dance. Once the evil PE teacher caught him...I haven't laughed hard since.

 

 

 

-Play lightsabors with our umbrellas on windy days. I played rarely, since my short umbrella doesn't match against those meter-lone ones.

 

 

 

-Trying to burst open little packets of ketchup and BBQ sauce. "Burst damnit, burst!" *Blows open*. That one time the entire cafertira entrance was covered with BBQ Sauce. "Walk away..."

 

 

 

-Bursting packets of ketchup and BBQ sauce by putting it under the toilet seat and sitting on it. -.-

 

 

 

-Uhh...theres a load more but I forget... We were the most idiotic, immature kids there. I was the most respectable but I hung out with them making me kinda low...lol. We really wised up entering High School though. Can't be seen doing that kind of stupidy in front of girls now can we? ;) Serious business. \

[Lenticular_J]

People at our age have stopped doing these things?

 

 

 

Crap.

[Riku3220]

spinning after eating chips? thats child's play

 

 

 

try spinning WHILE eating dark chocolate and dont stop spinning until your done with it all. thats manly

[Lenticular_J]

You guys have all the wrong ideas. Turn a giant pink dinosaur (from your local Toys'R'Us) into a raft, tangle fisherpeoples' lines, and refuse to come off until the police come. In which case you shoot water guns at them.

 

 

 

Nudity may help in this.

[Theoknight2]

"alaska Jumping"

 

*may only be performed in Alaska*

 

1. Find equally [developmentally delayed]ed friend as you

 

2. find large ice-covered hill/cliff overlooking a road ( preferably covered in ice and rocks)

 

3. Proceed to jump off, hoping to miss rocks.

 

4. once you break something, call ambulance and dig yourself out of snow. pull other friend out of snow.

 

5. Pay for it all :x

[deloriagod]

Crap.

 

 

 

No, it just takes some serious boredom or controlled substance to get us to do them now. :

[Solidus_77]

My entire music library is full of nostalgic songs. Each of them remind me of a period of my life (Despite how random they are). I'll look at a stump out the back of my house and remember that crazy storm of december 1999. Thanks to emulators, I was able to play through some of the games of my childhood. Then there are plenty of smells, and certain foods that remind me of different time in my life. It's truly amazing to go back over that kind of stuff.

 

 

 

Anyways, some crazy stuff of my childhood? These are just a few, in no particular order (many of these I've re-done recently, still enjoy, or wish I could do again):

 

- Pine cone wars!!!

 

- Building room-sized barricades made from chairs, tables, bed sheets. Sometimes friend and I would attack while others would defend till the whole thing was a crazy mess.

 

- Climbing all kinds of trees

 

- As I was climbing a tree I was hiding from this guy although I slipped and fell flat on the ground. Said "That was so cool!!", got up and tried to do it again.

 

- Improvised water-balloons using school-supplies

 

- Playing soccer and getting literally soaked in muddy water. Kudos to my mom who didn't mind me getting all dirty.

 

- Fighting with wooden/plastic swords

 

- Pillow/quilt fights (more like wars :lol: )

 

- Throwing flower buds at cars (then one guy had the incredibly clever idea of throwing a rock).

 

- Snow-ball wars!!!

 

- Running, sliding and running into people on a small patch of ice at school (so fun and I don't think anyone got too badly hurt)

 

- Capture the flag..... in the forest..... with near-complete darkness. It's so much fun when you can't see [cabbage].

 

- Sneaking out of whatever compound we were told to stay in during overnight class trips.

 

- This small sled park had a little embankment to keep the kids in (there was a walk-way behind). Well That "embankment" turned into a ramp that sent us flying OVER the walkway and right next to this apartment building.

 

- Dug tunnels in the snow to serve as the ultimate snow fort.

 

- Ringing the doorbell and then spraying the person with a watergun.

 

- Improvised obstacle courses consisting of walking on the trunks of recently fallen trees, climbing on stacks of huge tree-trunks and going through bushes and getting full of bruises, cuts but feeling we accomplished something.

 

- Managing to dislodge a big pile of logs which came RIGHT after me.

 

- Treading on thin ice (literally, and using branches for extra support). I ended up getting soaked after mistaking a patch grass for a small island in the middle of a frozen lake.

 

- Rock climbing on a small surface with no rope.

 

- Jumping from rock to rock across a giant field of boulders

 

- Getting as close as possible to a GIANT waterfall and getting drenched by the water that hits the rocks, while conservative mothers (not my mother, she knows I'm totally fine) yell at me that I'm going to kill myself.

 

- Jumping into a waterfall (not as big as the one mentioned above), which is awesome because you're spun around fast underwater and you completely lose your sense of direction.

 

- Flooding ants/insects

 

- Using a piece of wood as an improvised raft to try and get across a lake.

 

- Jumping off of rocks into the water

 

- Jumping from rock to rock getting as close as possible to the water without getting wet (results vary from "soaked" to "feel barely wet")

 

- Game where someone gets tied up with one long rope and has to find a way to escape.

 

- Jumping over, tripping into, or crashing into all these bushes.

 

- War (slow motion to avoid injuries) using sticks (swords/daggers) bits of moss (grenades). One time I was able to crawl through a path full of bushes and branches with small branches attached to my belt (think, stealthy assassin with knives). Other times I was double agent. Done in the right environment and this can be so fun, and 9 times out of 10 something goes wrong.

 

- Splashing and dunking people's heads underwater at the pool. Best was when we got these foam rafts then it became a battle to keep on and keep others off.

 

 

 

That, above, is the definition of "fun" :

[doomy]

I rememeber from my childhood building "tents" from blankets, chairs and couches in our house, and then sleeping in it :P

 

Also remember doing the same thing and building mazes to get into my room :P

 

 

 

I forget the actually out of the ordinary stuff I did...

[dragoonson]

I live in a condominium,so no real fun there.When I was younger I used to play a lot,though.We were playing tag,and there were no borders,except it had to be within the condo.We constantly jumped flights of stairs and from the 3rd storey-2nd storey as a short cut.

 

 

 

And I ate grass to see why cows like it so much.

[alex_Lei1993]

Oh my god, Solidus gave me some great ideas.

 

 

 

-I still play emulators, like old school Pokemon Red

 

-Snow Forts/Tunnels/Fights

 

-Prank Calling people and getting them to believe that they won a trip to *insert tropical destination*

 

-Prank Calling Wendy's and asking for a Big Mac Combo

 

-Nicky Nicky Nine Doors(Ring the door bell, then GTFO ;) )

[MuffinMaddy]

Because I'm quite short, I'm often treated like a child or 'year 7'

 

nowadays, when I see them screaming, I tend to ignore it and sigh

 

but I remember when I was that young, with friends I used to

 

 

 

-Run around the classrooms screaming, happily

 

-Spread rumours that there were cockroaches in the school :o

 

-Put grass in my hair when we went to the park to do experiments

 

-Prank calling people

 

-Arm wrestling. I would always lose. Meh.

 

-Occasionally the odd farting competition :oops:

 

-Eating in class

 

-Killing insects

 

-"Accidentally" throw paper in bunsen burners :wall:

 

Can't believe how much I've changed :o

[ThurinEthir]

There's a forest on a hill outside the school I used to go to, my friends and I would go there all the time. The top would be our headquarters, I guess... :lol: Anyway, we would fool around up there all the time...We went back this past year, did some random things...

 

We picked up a giant log and tried to knock down a dead tree. (Hey...It was dead...)

 

We found sticks and "fought" with them.

 

We had a snowball fight with some little kids. :P

 

We sledded down the hill...Without sleds...

 

 

 

And yay for emulators.

[Ginger_Warrior]

Aww... I miss all those things. Grown-up life just isn't fun. :(

[Amaranth_GTO]

Earlier this year I was part of the games group at vacation bible school. So I got to play with little kids all day, just play games like red light green light, obstacle courses, etc. It was a lot of fun. I got community service hours for it too.

[Giordano]

 

- Pine cone wars!!!

 

 

Oh. My. God! Pinecone Wars are awesome! Although my last major pinecone battle was fought last year in High school. :lol: Foriegn Wars/History Club + last meeting + last week of school = Epic pwnage.

I hate it when kids do this. During the day it's not that bad, but I have to smack the hell out of all 4 of my dogs so they'll shut up. At night I'll chase the damn kids down if I spot them. They like to do it between midnight and 3 A.M. and it pisses me off. I don't enjoy being woken up because some little jerk thinks it's funny.

[mrpez]

ive done a lot of things with my brother and two best friends (who are also brothers) that would get me banned if i posted them.

 

 

 

the stupidest thing we ever did probably almost killed us several times. it was about 1 am and we were all heading home, but decided to drive around for a bit before. it was very dark and also extremely foggy. even with fog lights you could only see about 2-3 feet in front of the hood.

 

 

 

so...we figured it was probably the right thing to drive 100 mph all over town for over an hour. im sure we almost died a few times, but didnt even know because of the fog.

 

 

 

edit: remembered another dumb thing. we were driving home (me, my bro, and the same two brothers) and we witnessed a tp'ing. so we drove around after the kid for about 30 minutes yelling for him to turn himself in haha.

[thrash-boy]

I rememeber from my childhood building "tents" from blankets, chairs and couches in our house

 

 

 

i used to do that exact same thing! \

[Sumpta]

Sometimes, when I'm happy I get kind of frolicky and walk over the streets with a hop and a skip in my tread, like a kid. Gets me lots of weird looks. Apparently, 26 year olds aren't supposed to this.

 

 

 

In autumn, I simply can't resist kicking up the leaves. Again, it gets me weird looks.

 

 

 

And I love to blow soap bubbles. I often carry a little container around for random bubble fun.

 

 

 

Oh and often, when I go out for a drink with someone, I imagine throwing my drink in their face and how they'd react. Or pulling their chair away right before they sit down. I never act upon these urges, being the grown-up that I am, ahem, but they can suddenly pop up in my head, making me dissolve into giggles. Much to the bewilderment of my companion.

When our best friends come over (they live about 3 1/2 hours away, we don't get to see them that often) we still do that \

[Echofish]

Ahh, I remember when I used to be a hardcore marble player. We even used it as a kind of currency. A certain type of marble is worth this, and can be exchanged for inferior ones of the same value etc...
