Not me, but my partner used to keep Kiwis (the fruits) as pets. He would name them and take care of them…until his mom took them to blend into a smoothie.

That was a rude awakening for him. —spacelordmthrfkr

I used to steal things from my sister when she was mean to me, and then hide them by sewing them into her stuffed animals… She found out a few months ago and was really freaked out —Pearlhuntress

I used to host imaginary science shows where I would get questions from viewers that I had to answer. I don’t remember a lot of the questions from my fake audience, but I remember trying to explain that glass actually could let air through, and that was the explanation to how we didn’t suffocate when all the doors and windows were shut.

Young me did not know a whole lot about ventilation. —H-Lunulata

Several friends and myself had a fascination with writing in code. We had little pocket notebooks full of codes and deciphering instructions (also in code) and would write volumes of notes between us in code. Notebooks got confiscated by a teacher, we wouldn’t tell her how to decode, she tried to get us in trouble. Parents thought it was hilarious. I’m almost 60 and I still have one of these notebooks around somewhere. —kellydean1

In grade 1 we would sit in a group on the floor in front of the teacher while she read us stories. I would sit at the back of the group against the wall and pull my pants halfway down my bum. I liked feeling the cool ground/wall against my bare butt. —fullevan790

I used to eat mechanical pencil lead. No idea how I got into that habit, but I think I enjoyed the crunchiness of it. Did it for a little while, but showed a classmate and she immediately went to the teacher who then called my mom who scolded me and told me to stop. Goodbye 0.7 mm, you will be missed. —KtMoonRise
