Strange childhood habits

i used to take things apart, didnt matter what it was, id just take it apart even if i couldnt get it back together again, even now i love taking things apart just to see whats inside, only difference now is that im able to put them back together again :p

oh and naked climbing was also my thing as a baby/toddler, couldnt care less when i was dressed but soon as that butt came out the adventures began :D

Thats one of then!!

I used to love taking things apart too :D

Naked climbing =/
 
I used to dismantle things, realise I'd broke it, and hide it somewhere. My hiding places were usually rubbish, and I'd get shouted at a lot.

I also used to peel bits of our embossed wall paper off the wall, and leave it behind on the carpet.

Best of all, when I was 3, I started speaking in an irish accent, and didn't stop doing so for 3 months!
 
Once I got hold of a permenant marker and went around the house writing my name on every single object I could get my hands on. My parents weren't best pleased :D
 
I used to like to count. (My Mother was annoyed at me on one occasion [I remember] as I counted [aloud] during my journey [via foot] to school [I reached over 300 {so it cannot have been that bad for the listener}]).

I also liked to do arithmetic, and square numbers were an interest of mine (after learning them up to 20 [not very hard {although something that shocks some people}] in Year 4 [I believe]).

I liked to (and still do not mind) reading the nutritional information on the breakfast cereal I was eating (this is not necessary now [as I eat similar cereals at similar times of the day]).

Other than these activities, I cannot think of others (as of now [the time stamp on this post]).

Pick and flick

Your brackets never bothered me, but that post is just wrong.

I used to eat untold amounts of insects. No idea why, and even though they made me insanely ill I still did it anyway after I'd got better.

Slugs, worms and woodlice were apparently favourites but I was also partial to the odd butterfly when I could get hold of them.

Is your surname "Renfield" by any chance?:D
 
I used to hide behind the sofa when the big street cleaner came down the street with the big vacuum thing on the back. I thaught it was going to suck me up lol (no i was not a crack head as a kid :p)

I also used hate having my nails cut, i still hate cutting them.

Old habits die hard :)
 
One Easter when I was about 7 I made a cross out of chinese chopsticks and nailed my bearded, loan clothed up action man to it, my dad went postal on me and my cousin (who was a totally innocent bystander at the time and didn't even pass me nails or hold the hammer ). Something to do with disrespect, priests and a catholic upbringing....
 
My main habit was getting myself injured. Every day i would come home covered in cuts and bruises. I had no concept of pain and would jump off/into/out of anything. Upto the age of 6 I dont think i had ever felt pain untill i broke my leg, passed out from the pain after a while, ever since then I have been able to feel and react to pain, which sux!

Silly thing i done: About 4yo I bit the oven shelf as my mum was taking the food out the oven.

Also I gave my mum vertigo by walking along a wall in a shopping center (the wall had a 3 story drop to the bottom floor) she wasn't able to get me off the wall as she couldn't move encase it made me fall. Ever since then she cant move (or stand) at any heights.
