Whenever my wife gets upset about one of our children’s latest pranks, I ask her practically the same question: “Listen, think back to when you were a kid! Didn’t you or I do exactly the same thing, or even more recklessly?”
Looking back, I’m actually amazed my peers and I even made it to adulthood. We’d do parkour on garage roofs, eat ants and other nasty things on dares, hang off passing cars with skateboards… basically, me-dad would’ve gone insane over me-son’s antics. Incidentally, as it turns out, many other adults also reminisce about their own strange childhood behavior.

I thought my stuffed animals had feelings and would get jealous if I didn’t sleep with them so I slept with all 30+ in my bed to keep them all happy

I used to collect rocks and when my mom told me to throw them i away i would just hide them because i tought that if i threw the rocks back outside they would get cold when winter would come and i tought they would be sad because first i would take then with me and give them a warm place to be and then i would just throw them away and i just tought what if i was the rock? How would i feel?

I literally used to be scared to share pillows because I thought my dreams could be trapped in it and it’d move into someone else’s head if they laid on my pillow.

I used to wish for pain. I’d try to get hurt or break my bones in the hopes that someone would care about me like I saw them care for the others with broken bones. I never did end up breaking a bone. It never worked, but I’d try and try and try.

I was peer pressure into eating ants on the side of the road, but they tasted good. They have this weird lemon taste to them because of some acid or something in them. You can look it up probably

Between ages 8 and 11, I used to catch lizards, cockroaches, sparrows, rats, mice etc, (I’d injure them if there was a risk of them escaping) and feed them to some big red ants that lived in a sand-hole at the back of the house, in the yard. Mostly because I enjoyed watching the poor rodents, birds and insects get eaten alive bit by bit. I’d crouch for hours, just watching them. I read a book later, In my early teens, which said that animal t*****e in children is a trait of future serial killers 💀😬😬
