Another thread got me thinking of this and I don't want to derail it so...
What weird stuff did y do as a kid to amuse yourself in the abscense of playstations and the like.
I would...
Lift up the fire covers on the pavements and name all of the spiders that lived under them.
Spit on curbs and play noughts and crosses with spit and a stone with my best friend.
Burst into a rendition of Karma Chameleon every time I saw a catarpillar...never knew why I did that!
Collect red worms and pupae from the stream and feed them to the fish in the tank at home.
Pour salt in snail shells and watch them bubble....only did that when very young and then felt really guilty.
Made different stingy things sting me to see how it felt...until I thought my sister was overreacting to a bee sting, so made one sting me only to be told by mum that it would then die. I called myself a murderer and put myself in solitary confinement.
So, come on....let's hear yours...
