Back in my day...

[[Citation Needed]]

I sleepwalked all the time when I was younger. Never to anywhere except to the bathroom and back, and maybe a short walk up and down the hall.

I do remember one time when I was having a strange dream. You see, it had something to with Diddy Kong Racing (I don't get it, either), and for some odd reason I was in the dream yelling for my dad. I woke up because my dad yelled "WHAT?" back from his office just outside my room. Oops, sleeptalking.

When my little brother was, well, very, very little, we had pet fish. Aside from the cat, they were the animal he saw the most. They were small, and moved on their own, and he knew they were called fish. One summer when we went outside, there were ants marching up and down the sidewalk. He called them fish, because they were small and moved on their own.
We remind him about this every few days or so.

I always asked my parents what happens when you die. Even if you go to heaven, do you first spend 3 days in the dirt like Jesus?

Oh, one my mom tells pretty much everyone
When I was maybe 4 or 5, we had hamsters in my brother and I's room.
One night I woke up for some reason, and noticed that one of the hamsters was scratching on the gate.
I opened it up for him and he scurried off somewhere.
Woke up in the morning and everyone was frantically looking under things, I asked what happened and my mom told me one of the hamsters got out somehow.

I looked at her confused, "He didn't get out, I let him out. He wanted to go for a walk."

When I was little, I'd always wake up at 5 in the morning on Saturdays. I also woke my little brother up so we could watch "The Adventures of Winne the Pooh" together.

I sure plenty of people have the same situation as this:
I watched Sailor Moon requently because DBZ was on right after it.

When I was really young I saw an advert on TV for Walkers crisps, I think it was, where two boys are fighting over a packet and it splits in two and because they're standing in front of a fountain or something it looks like they start crying dramatically (this was a loooong time ago so I'm surprised I can even vaguely remember it). I then promptly ran upstairs to tell my parents about it for whatever reason, and then halfway through describing it, it made me cry. My parents were so confused.

Also, we went on holiday to Cyprus once, and on the very first night I somehow accidentally locked myself in the bathroom for hours.

I got stuck in a ladderback chair when I was 8. Yes, between the rungs.

As a child, I was an emo.
Now that I'm a teen, I'm cheery.

When I was three I got a bunk bed (note that I was somehow able to climb up to the top bunk on my own back then, but when I got older I couldn't do it anymore). The very first night I slept in it, I...fell out of bed. I fell out of the top bunk and land on the bottom bunk. My mom heard this happen and went in to check on me, and watched as I, still asleep, got up and climbed back into the top bunk.

When I was five I cracked my head open on the corner of a wall. I was chasing a beach ball someone had thrown (indoors, I might add) and I looked away for one second and when I looked back I slammed into the wall at full force. Man, video game characters do that all the time without getting a scratch, why did MY head have to split open?! Anyway I was rushed to the hospital and got a bunch of stitches put in and now I'm fiiiiiiiine~
I can't help but wonder if that blow changed my personality in any way...derrrrrrrrp.

Also during my third birthday party I put a girl in a headlock because I wanted the PANK Play-doh. I was a violent little girl.

Back when I was just a wee little lad and my brother still used to trail me on all fours I once proclaimed "Brother, I'm gonna show you the world!" with all the histrionics you could expect out of a four-year-old. I do not remember if I ever went through with that promise, that bit's been overwritten with grueling visions of despair.

Ah, I can't really say my Childhood was as epic...
but...

I do Vaguely remember watching the Lion King one morning while my mom made me toast. We had a cat. and it ate my Toast. I was kinda sad.

I also was a frequent sleepwalker. Apparently I also used to have night terrors about the clouds Coming to get me.
what a strange child I was.

When I was little, an ice cream cone only cost a nickel. And certain folk weren't allowed on the bus.

Don't we already have a nostalgia thread?

Maybe. I dunno. If not, We should make one.

But this is one. Sort of.

Anyway, I remember when you had to fight in cage matches to win electricity privileges. It was so scarce back then. Nowadays you kids have electricity just flying all over the daisies place.

When I was little I would wander off away from my family often in the mall and stuff.

And whenever Rugrats came on, when the title of the episode was shown, I would say "Deeee! DEEEEEEEE!", which apparently was baby gibberish for "Mom, what do those words say!?" Because whenever I said it, my mom would read me the episode title.

Also, from ages 2-5 I LOVED dinosaurs. Whenever my mom sees a news story on a 5-year-old kid who can name any car he sees, or a girl who can name all 50 states, their capitals, and state senators, because I was just as smart as they were. I could name about as many dinosaurs as a paleontologist could. Unfortunately, all of that information is lost in my memory now. It was only due to my extreme love of dinosaurs that my parents would let me watch Jurassic Park at 3 years old. They said that normally, they wouldnt, but I was an exception.
