15. Chasing Kids Naked

“In third grade I chased three 5th graders out a bathroom naked. I got a detention. Sometimes I look back and think: ‘Why did I do that?'” — DaAntisocialist

16. Petting Hairy Arms

“When my mom’s friend came over, I would sit in his lap and stroke his hairy arms like a cat. Nothing sexual about it (I was 7).

“My sister and I would sh*t in jars and store them around the house. We wanted to be scientists, and we called them our specimens.

18. Killing Your Pet Frog

“Well I was about 5 or 6 and at the county fair they had a frog race. All the kids brought frogs and basically herded them across the pavilion. My frog didn’t do so well, so to my parents horror I stomped on it in front of the whole community. I was definitely not a good sport but I promise I’m better now.” — Farmerdude1998
