Childhood experiences

[Captain2]

when i was a kid, my parents fought allot, so i tended to pick up some pretty dirty words every once in awhile, i was probably 6 or 7, and my nephew had come over (hes only two years younger) and we were playing super Nes

anyway, i forget what game we were playing but he beat me, i remember loudly yelling "YOU DIRTY MOTHER ****ER!" however my mom heard, however i had no clue what it meant

i wasnt able to play super nes for the next two weeks

what childhood experiences have you had that are funny in retrospect

Well, this one time my uncle was throwing coins in the pool for my cousin and I and said if we dove for them and got them we could keep them.

Later up in the attic he droped some changes down his swim trunks and made the same offer. It was pretty funny.

That may be a bit... what's the word... insensitive? distatesful? offensive?

I convinced my little sister (six years younger than me) that Santa Claus was, in fact a giant fish. Nobody had ever found his workshop because it was under the polar icecap. He had magical amphibious gills and a sleigh pulled by eight large raindrops. She's still mad at me for ruining the Christmas magic.

It wasnt me, but my cousin.

He saw a bee while we were playing cricket, and to kill the bee he started swinging the cricket bat at it. The bee landed on the ground, and my cousin smashed the bat into the ground, trying to kill it. He missed, and just snapped the bat in half.

When I was 3 years old, I learned to read. Therefore, I was quite literally competent at that age.

Unfortunately for me, my father was loose with his language at this time, letting lose profanities every now and then.

I picked up on this, because my dad is an imposing figure and is intimidating when he swears.

I happened upon a toy dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and proceeded to name it "f*ck".

I thought it was a scary name, and befitting of a dinosaur.

When I told my parents about my new pet dinosaur, they asked me: "How is that spelled?" I replied didactically: "F-U-C-K." I was so proud. Sadly, my parents recognized the bad influence this dinosaur had on me, and he disappeared the next day, whilst I scoured the house yelling "where did f*ck go? where is he? I WANT MY F*CK!!"

I was a precocious child.

After having seen Back to the Future, at about the age of 5, I was playing with a toy car, and decided to act out a scene from the movie - complete with a quote. I yelled out "HOLY SHIP!" because, after all, what other words sound like "ship"? I didn't know any. It was years until I figured out why my dad yelled at me like that . . .
