Remember doing silly things as a child?

I still can't do bloody mary. i can get it out once, and then I creep myself out.

Am i the only one who took a running start from the bedroom door to jump onto the bed? I don't remember growing out of that one. i guess i just sorta stopped one day.
 
I think a lot of you did this, but we used to ride our bikes with no hands. When I think about it now, we did it going pretty fast, and all it would have taken would be to hit a small bump or hole and it woulda been a crash. But it was such a thrill going down a hill.

Speaking of bikes, I once rode mine down a giant hill in town, hit a bush and flipped over the handlebars into a pine tree.
 
We also did the Bloody Mary thing. Scared ourselves witless!

At GS camp we did the levitation thing. "light as a feather' something or other, The GS leader was an extremely pious woman and she flipped out when she caught us doing that. Told us we were playing with the devil and all sorts of crap. She certainly scared us a whole lot more than the levitation thing.
I quit GS right after that. Oddly later on in life I became a GS leader for my daughter's troop. After seeing the nut jobs that sufficed as leaders, I wanted to make sure no whack a doo scarred my daughter emotionally. So I did the whole schmeel. Brownie leader through Cadettes. I stopped when the girls started losing interest....Holy cow! the things we went through. I should make a whole new thread.
 
My brother was trying to set me up to get in trouble one night, my parents were having a rather nice get together at our house. Some....hoity toity folks.

Anyways he told me to run out in my jammies and yell "Chinese, Japanese' Vietnamese Look at these" and pull my shirt up.

So I go blazing into the livingroom, and yell at the top of my lungs

"JAPANESE YOOK AT DIS" and pull my shirt up.

Everyone at the house laughed and said how cute is that little guy.

I found out a few years ago that that was really an attempt by my brother to get my ass kicked by my dad, I guess my brother was peaved that he had gotten in trouble for something I had done and was trying to get even with me.

Good times:D

That actual event, is still talked about by my dad to this day:D

LOL, This story reminded me of something Nicki did when she was small.
We were sitting in an Olan Mills photography studio in Cambridge, They were running a promotional special for some rather cheap portraits so the lobby was packed with people. There were a lot of proper matronly old British ladies sitting there waiting, Complete with the grey frocks. (Go figure, Like something out of a cartoon.) Anyway, My Mom was visiting me so she was along with me And we were there to take advantage of the cheap picture package and get Nicki's photo taken.
She was 2 and a half years old and quite a rambunctious little thing so she was well past bored with waiting.
Out of the blue, and we have no idea what made her think to do it, She jumped up and ran to the center of the lobby raised her dress up over her head and yelled "TAAA DAAA!!!"
Even the most matronly woman there had to snicker. It was so spontaneous and hilarious! :24:

My Mom still brings that up on occasion.

Classic:clap
 
Another Nicki classic. (This kid has always been a barrel of laughs!)

Going shopping in the busy British open air market. Bury St Edmunds, a very busy market! Nicki was in her push chair and just a wee bit of a babe. I think she was only about 9 or 10 months old. Teething in a big way!

I was distracted and chatting with the fruit merchant as he always had great deals and he gave you even better prices if you sweet talked him a little. So I was yammering on with him and there was this old lady there, again with the dang grey tweed skirt. (what is it with British old ladies and grey tweed?) Anyway, this lady had a very white slip peeking out from under her skirt.
Sadly, it was a half slip, Even more tragic, Nichola had spotted it.
Before you could say "boo!" Nichola had reached out and grabbed ahold of that ladies slip, and had the hem of it in her mouth chewing as if there were no tomorrow. Well, it was a half slip, so it came down around the ladies ankles when Nicki gave it a yank. We all stood there gob smacked for a second.
:o I did feel terribly embarrassed for the lady at first, but then I couldn't help myself, I started to giggle, And the fruit merchant burst into a hearty laugh as well. As did several of the other shoppers who inadvertently witnessed the event.
The lady was flat out furious!!! She bent down stepped out of her slip, Scooped it up, stuffed it into her bag, Glowered at me and the vender and with an audible huff she stormed off!!!
Well, the vender and I became fast friends that day! We laughed so hard I nearly wee'd myself.
And every week after that when we went 'round market, he would call us over and ask Nicki 'G'mornin' moppet, Fancy a bite of slip today?!' Then he'd just roll with laughter!

I swear, I could write a book about the things Nichola did when she was small. As the Brits say "she's a right cracker!"
 
I remember once during hide and seek, I hid in the dryer (a brilliant idea) and my cousin found me and turned it on... :(

He tortured me... made me climb to the top of this tree that was about as tall as the house.... then let his dog (who was really not that scary) out.. the dog barked at me, I jumped out of fright and fell out of the tree
 
at the roller rink, I was trying to impress this hottie-- "ice ice baby" was playing.... I swear!!! and I went to jump or twist or something... tripped all over myself and went straight over the guard wall and landed in the booth upside down....
 
For me it was climbing really high in this big tree we had in our back yard. I'm not sure what kind of tree it was but it had a lot of good climbing branches and I would go almost to the top which was a bout two stories.
I had a favorite spot up there I used to goto when something was bothering me. Probably not the safest thing to do.
 
Ok.. I was about 5yrs old and me and some other girls in our class played catch and kiss with the boys.. And one lunch time we were playing and I caught one of the boys. So of course me beiong me I kissed him LOL. I then got nicknamed the kissy girl, but luckily no one but Mum and Dad remember that

LOL...the last time I was in a roller rink the hot song of the time was "whip it" by Devo, lol!!!!!

Crap, I just aged myself again, didn't I?
