Were you in a cartoon so you confused those two? 😺 PepeLePew4...f4340a.jpg 
Hahaha, I always got Play Dooh for Saint Nicolas at my school. My mother dreaded that time of year. Because for some (creative) reason I always smeared the stuff in the living room carpet. As I also loved to make drawings on the bottom of the plate that was our salon table, instead of using the blackboard. I probably found drawing while laying on the floor more relaxing. And drawing gnomes on (again) the carpet in our living room was also my speciality ( in all shades of pink & purple).
Well, to be fair, the whole "you have to wear clothing to preschool" rule is pretty dumb....
I went through a short phase where I was pretty sure I could fly if I just tried hard enough. I gave it up pretty quickly when none of my flying experiments worked.
i once walked home from the mall. alone. i was five. my mom had the police come to the mall looking for me. that was not my first or last disappearing. but definitely my worst
When I was in my first year of school, I got curious about the dangly bit at the back of my throat (uvula), so I stuck my fingers in to touch it and instantly projectile vomited across the large desk the whole class was sat around. On the plus side, I got a day off school.
I would have repeated that stunt until they figured it out!
Wow.
I was wondering what'd happen if you touched it..
Ate mothballs. Got my stomach pumped. Ate poisonous mushrooms. Got my stomach pumped. Ate my grannies pain meds. Got my stomach pumped. Doctors started asking my parents if they loved me ...
My ex did this with laburnum seed pods (poisonous plant, seed pods look like pea pods) twice as a kid! The second time he got his friends involved. The other parents were unimpressed to hear it wasn't the first time & it was a while before he was trusted around his friends again!
A couple of days after seeing Mary Poppins at the cinema I jumped off a wall with an umbrella above my head to see if I could float gently down to the ground like the character. I couldn't. Luckily the wall was only about 5 ft.
Did the same with a ladder. I was climbing higher, the higher the heights the higher the chance to actually float, right? Nope. I ended the day after I crashed so badly that my knee hit my chest and I couldn't breath anymore. It took me about 8 years to learn humans can't fly. Go figure.
This was before the "Dont try this at home" warnings ..Lol
My dad did this from his garage with a beach umbrella and claims it worked. He tried with a sheet as well, that did not work lol
I did it too! :D
When me and me siblings were little we used to get the blankets and try to fly while naked after we had a bath or shower. Fun times.
