when i was a puppy, i would take the tater tots from my school meal and mash them with a spork because i preferred the texture that way

when i was in preschool, we made slime, and i put the slime in my hair, and i had to go home so i could get it washed out

one time i pretended to be sick when i was in preschool and i missed the people at school so much i just kept lamenting about it out loud to my family. i stopped pretending to be sick from then until high school

on the playground, me and my friend and my sister used to lay down on one of the playground structures and play "shut up, rooster!" which entailed us snoring, then someone making a cock a doodle doo noise, all three of us going "shut up, rooster!", and then whoever made the noise would mimic some sort of terrible fate for the poor rooster. it was kind of like a knock knock joke in that sense

when i was a puppy i remembered a part of pinocchio where jiminy cricket shoves pebbles in his pants, so i did this on the playground one day, and everyone at home was perplexed when rocks started falling out of my undergarments

i remember sitting in a sandbox consisting of cat litter (the school was poorly off) and some kid came up and kicked cat litter into my face and got into a lot of trouble for it

i used to get plushies at the local flea market, and i was preoccupied with whether i would still love them if any particular part of their body was missing. i would cover it up, whatever it was, and think about whether or not i still loved it. the answer was always yes, of course. i would get so tortured over a theoretical situation where the plushie got injured in some way or another.

i remember my sister used to hit me in the head with her fists when i said something stupid. my friend would hit me hard on the arm and would be annoyed if i complained about it hurting.

one time on the playground i found the box insert for animal crossing for the gamecube. i would obsessively read through its pages, learning about a game that i didn't have, but so desperately wanted. i was enamored by the garbage dump and by tom nook's shop. i remember salvaging the pages as they started to come apart and get dirty, since i left them out on the playground and would just reread them when i was bored. i would hang them on the bush where i used to sit frequently. it wasn't until later that i got Wild World instead and was rather perplexed by the lack of a garbage dump.

i remember when i was no older than 11 years old and went onto the serebii.net chatroom. i said hello and then said "i have a pet dove". (i did.) when no one responded i repeated it in all caps and someone replied "Congratulations". i replied with ":)" and left the chatroom at that point.

i remember playing a pokemon fangame(?) about a furret navigating an isometric maze or map. i still haven't found it...
