[DeeperStill]

The purpose of this game is to get acquainted with your fellow board.... or Bored.. members.

Each post should start off with " When I was a kid I....." and then you tell something true about your childhood. When I say childhood, I mean from Birth thru the time you left home. That may be later for some than others.

Please do not give personal information away , be careful what you post. No real names, no addresses, no phone numbers. Safety first.


I will start out.

When she was a toddler, I got worried!

When I was a kid I got a red rider bb gun for Christmas, but it wasn't my eye that got shot out, it was the driver's window of my dad's pick-up truck on Christmas afternoon. My dad took the red rider bb gun away and said he would give it back to me when I got older. I had forgoten all about it but 38 years later my dad said he had something for me. So now at 48 I am the proud owner of a 38 year old red rider bb gun and it still works.:shade:

When I was a kid I had a fear of sleeping with my hand over the side of the bed. I thought the witch that lived under my bed, or some monster would grab it.

When I was a kid my friend Shoka taught me how to turn a double dutch jump rope and hula hoop.

When I was a kid I could get out of doing dishes after dinner if I pretended to be tired and went to bed early.

When I was a kid,
I would wonder off by myself, go over on the side of the hill above the swamp, lean up against a stump, and just listen to the sounds.
I could feel Gods presence.
Then i would think about many things in my head and write poetry.
Loved the silence.

When I was a kid, my sister would get in trouble and I'd learn the lesson. hahahaha!!!!

When I was 15 I believe, I was watching The Anne Frank Diary movie on TV and my dad came in and changed the channel. I ran upstairs and cried.

When I was a kid I walked five miles to school , barefoot in the snow.....

You know, this is difficult for my childhood ended when I was 13.....:coocoo:
What can I say!

Hmmmmm, going back to when I was 5

Didn't know much, but got my mouth washed out with soap for repeating a word my sister, or her friend had said, and because it was new to me , I repeated it, just louder than they had spoken it so I was the one who got into trouble!.
Uggggh soap taste terrible, but I have never forgot the word either.
Stay away from it though!

When I was a kid I was dared to eat grass of my lawn by another kid. He told me he did it, so why shouldn't I? Needless to say this was before I gained maturity (age 6) so I did it.

It actually tasted pretty good, despite the dirt particles. :coocoo:

 

[Gracealone]

Compared to soap?
Grass would taste MUCH better! LOL

When I was a kid, I was dared to try a cigarette.
My older cousin in from California...had me do it......I should have suspected something as we hid under the bridge.
It tasted terrible!
When we got back to the house, my Step Dad asked me to open my mouth so he could smell my breath . I did, and he said nothing, but I always wondered ,how did he know!

I never did smoke ,praise God! :embarasse

When I was a kid I would spend days at my aunts and have to take a nap or at least lay down when I got older. So, I would trace the pattern on the couch and use my imagination. By then, I would be asleep.

when I was a kid I traveled a lot. I went to as many as 18 schools in 12 years.

When I was a kid I was the oldest. When my dad got mad (and it was regular) I would try to run from him. When my brother and I were old enough and some of our half siblings were born, we took them upstairs and played while dad yelled at our step mom (and I am sure he hit her, too, since he hit us kids).

 

[DeeperStill]

When I was a kid, my brother convinced me to lay upon the ground underneath a tree branch where an bolder was hung by an attached rope. When I did as he requested ( stupid kid ), he dropped the bolder upon my forehead!

He shouldn't have done that because now I am smarter than he is........lolol!!!!!

[Gracealone]

OUCH!
Should I give him a whop for that now? LOL

Oh my, what you find out in later years about your kids!

When I was a kid, we had to do many chores around the house.
Get wood, wash dishes, iron cloths etc. and it wasn't always very easy as we lived with Kerosene lamps ,carried water, and ironed with those you heat on the stove.
So, in the winter time, when it got dark early, I would make like a mouse, and head up stairs to bed to get out of a lot of work.
Worked, I could then day dream, make up stories in my mind, that put me in better days, and among dreams of my own making.
Even tho now I look back, and they weren't so bad.
Silence, I miss the most.

when I was a kid I use to search my step-fathers pockets of his jacket to see if he left a nickle or dime in there. If I found one Id run down to the corner store and buy a sucker. Charm suckers had a sticker on the inside. If the sticker had a star on it, you got a second sucker for free. Id then give my sister one. If I didn't win, we would have to share the five cent sucker.
then we would battle over who got more licks than the other.

hahahaha

giggles, I am always grieved when I hear of abuse.

My children, and myself suffered such, and I'm so sorry!

God keeps score so never fear, he will make things right.

Back to the game........

When I was a kid, I use to be called Donkey ears!

You should see my family though, on my real Dads side, mine were small in comparison.Maybe I can get a photo of that soon in my albums.
I just laughed!
