It started when someone called @MotherofDoggons on Twitter shared a really stupid thing she did as a kid – and asked people to tell her theirs.

When I was 3 or 4 stuck a pretzel up my nose and it got stuck. When my mom was taking me to the hospital I sneezed it out and ate it.

On Valentine’s Day in 3rd grade I threw a heart shaped rock as high as I could in the air hoping it would hit the ground and break into even more of a heart shape, it came down on my head, cracked my head open and gave me a concussion. I wanted to give it to my mom.

In 3rd grade, I had one of those magnets that had a flashing light that I had won from the skating rink. I was at school and I put it on my lip with the magnet on the inside and accidentally swallowed it. I cried hysterically and my mom threatened to stick my ass to the fridge

I was at my grandmama’s place, (rural Kenya) and my cousins and I decided to steal an ostrich’s egg like we saw in a movie. We were almost kicked to death. .. running from an ostrich remains the most dangerous and funniest memory I have.

I wasn’t old enough to bake cookies so I’d chew up bread, form it into a cookie, put PB and sprinkles on top and sell them to my friends for a quarter. I finally told one of them the recipe and felt so bad I gave her a plate full for free. She ate them anyway.

I rode my tricycle into the pool and didn’t stop riding (underwater sideways going nowhere) until my dad pulled me out.

In 6th grade my little brother and I were playing hide n seek and I heard my brother climb into the dryer to hide so I walked in and turned it on and let him dry for about 20 seconds
