At the age of about 8 or 9 I once wanted to stay up later than my designated bed time, so I sat on the stairs for ages coming up with the perfect story. I went in to the front room and told my mum I was feeling really ill and couldn't sleep. I told her I had a headache and sore eyes and my skin hurt all over. Complete lies, but I got in to the mindset of it and acted it really well.
Anyway, after staying up for another hour or so I went to bed, only to wake up the next morning with a really bad headache, sore eyes and skin that hurt all over. After that I was convinced that I could make anything happen if I truly believed it. I used to sit and 'meditate' and focus on the things that I wanted to come true in my life. My first focus was that I wanted to become captain of my football team. I focused on that intensely for a few weeks and low and behold one Sunday my manager decided to make me captain.
After this I decided I was master of the universe, but my bubble soon burst when after weeks of focusing I still hadn't been to the moon and or have every shiny sticker in my premier league sticker book.
- don't give up. I don't think they actually released every shiny as a deliberate ploy to keep you buying the packs. Also the moon doesn't exist.Fax_Benson

I was convinced there was a left and right sock. I would look at one before putting it on and judge if it was a righty or lefty before putting on. Never got it wrong ;-)

About 10 years old. Having a bit of a fall-out/fight with another local kid, I had on my BMX gloves, grabbed a handful of stinging nettles and rubbed them all over his face.
Quite possibly the most horrible thing I've ever done to someone in my life.
- I'm guessing the nastiest thing anyone has ever said or done to another person was when they were kids.HAYZ1LLLA

I used to think that men and woman were equally doomed as adults. Women would have to go through horrible pain during child birth and men would have to go to war.

I watched westerns and war movies with my grandpa and when soldiers were being shot and killed I would wonder "why would these actors sign up for this?"

Got the wind knocked out of me pretty frequently as a kid. I can't even remember the last time that happened to me now. I do remember that terrible feeling when you're lungs don't inflate.

I had no fear when it came to riding bicycles, skateboards, climbing trees, etc.
Make a ramp from an old door with stacked up cinder blocks? Fuck yeah! Ride full blast down a sketchy trail just to get thrown over the handlebars by a downed tree? Of course!
I can remember going so fast at a table top jump that I cleared the whole thing, and snapped my wrist while still holding on to the handlebars when I landed.

People left their doors unlocked, kids could play outside in the neighborhood without the parents being arrested for child abuse and snowflake ideology and safe spaces didn't exist.
- kids don't go outside today because they're overweight and tied to a screen, MURICUH!moldero
- Aw, Bless. Hayoth is QBN's own little swivel-eyed snowflake. What did the nasty internet man say to you today?face_melter

how long was it after you were born, that you actually saw a glass of water poured, and your vision shattered?
And if you were really that young when it happened, how do you remember such an obscure thing like that?
I'm not sure I had an preconceived ideas about the pouring of water that early on.
- That's the weird part or what I can't work out why didn't I test it earlier? I tested it at like 6. I don't know, I just do? My memory is actually bad though.rabbit
- I was seriously seriously disappointed, I have visions of a massive water tower lol maybe that's why I remember it, the disappointment.rabbit

The Unsolved Mysteries theme song used to scare the shit out of me for some reason.
