got punched in the face for playing keep-away with a school lunch cookie (I was being really annoying about it)
the couch that my parents had when i was very young (younger than 6) was poorly upholstered and had some staples or something that were not flush. i was sitting on the couch and swinging my legs and hitting one of them with my achilles and it hurt like a mf
Renting video games and movies at the local version of Blockbuster, and then watching all those stores shut down as internet access became widespread. I still remember the store, crappy red carpet included. They even tried Blu Ray rentals, including a Blu Ray player or PS3 rental, as a last ditch effort to stay in business, but went bust anyways.
Also remember riding my bicycle up the steepest hill in history as a five year old. Went back to that hill as an adult decades later. It actually barely was a hill, I was just a weak and small five year old.
I remember some kids stopped bullying me in third grade because they learned I could draw dinosaurs pretty well
My first time hacking an online game was GunZ online, where me and a friend used a packet editor to capture the death/revive packets, and alternate sending them super fast so the other player gets max exp, then switching off so I can do it to my account.
I took a sip of my own piss because the doctor had me pee in a cup during an appointment. I had no concept of urinalysis and just assumed he was thirsty, leaving me with the question “well does it taste good?”
I think I was four at the time.
I developed a one of those celebrity crushes on Sarah McLachlan after listening to Fumbling Towards Esctasy during one of my lonely summers between the school years. I thought her voice was so pretty and the more I listened to it the more convinced I was that she was a lesbian. I was utterly devestated when her wikipedia page contained no mention of being gay or bi. In fact, she was married to a MAN. I remember being in a funk over this for a couple days afterwards and deciding to interperet the album through my own sapphic lens, even if the artist herself was not that way at all.
Very normal twelve year old boy behavior.
Well, how was it?
I remember it being mostly salty but with a subtle, yet extremely distinct flavor that was somewhat similar to bile.
Driving over a big bridge and my sister opened the car door
Coming up with the setting for a game of pretend and it was literally just communism
fishing a big teal rock out of a tree in the schoolyard (someone elses yard that intersected into it) and thinking it was aquamarine so we broke it into pieces between us three. the one guy in the mix got too cocky and tried to threaten us to call the cops which would make us give him our rocks (he thought he deserved them) but we just stopped talking to him. still have the rock.
never actually bothered to identify it
making an ant village out of sticks at my summer camp and genuinely being distraught when it collapsed after it rained
accidentally snipping off my eyebrow trying to pantomime what someone else in my cabin did (snip off their eyebrow)
one of my synagogue friends getting sent home from camp early for shooting at one of the Israeli counselors (inactive-duty tyrant larper) with a longbow (he missed) (beast mode anyhow)
my dad (trying to advocate for me) having a 4-hour long conversation with a teacher about my accommodations that played out like when a chatbot gets caught in a dead-end and refuses to iterate
hitting my friend (aforementioned face-puncher) with a visitor lanyard (multiple times) (stimming) on an overnight field trip where the school didn’t let me have my ADHD meds
also duping the Terra Blade for this friend on Terraria Mobile with the old chest glitch
getting so excited after hatching the Century Dragon in DragonVale that I forgot it was 4am and I woke up my Dad who was absolutely ticked and made me uninstall the game (probably for the best tbh)
some fuckass game on the ps2 that was not spyro (nor ape escape as I vividly remember playing that) that was a collectathon (I genuinely can’t remember any further even though I’ve scoured through my dads old stuff)
another one was one of the ben 10 games for the wii. don’t know which one. just one of them
also Help Wanted (do child labor to avert the apocalypse), Spectrobes: Origins (space pokemon) and aforementioned Ape Escape (no notes, banger)

as a child i went to pick up what i thought was a pinecone but was in fact a very big slug (it was dark out). i screamed and then my grandpa laughed at me. where i live now i only ever see tiny slugs sometimes.
had a similar situation with what i thought was a rubber snake toy. i scared the poor snake so bad picking it up so quickly. I can’t blame this one on it being dark out as it was in broad daylight
yelling at the TV in my foyer with a friend, trying to sing along to the skylanders drill bot. we kept hearing it because we sucked at the fight
Playing beyblade tournaments during recess and I was the one with the portable stadiun
