Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

This lake was actually man made. One side is ****** up. No powerboats allowed, but plenty of sailboats, canoes, etc. The bottom is almost all sand, so almost no algae. The deepest part is 8 feet . Most is less than 6 feet, so you can almost walk from one shore to the other.
Although it’s not a pool, the maintenance crew went to great lengths to keep the water clean.

I remember as a kid, I thought this whale was crying for help. It used to bother me.

Pretty sure that's a dolphin.

Or, are you calling it a whale on porpoise?

 

[LittleJerry92]

No, I thought that was a whale.

How did that go for ya?

He just ignored me but my brother commented thinking it was weird.

When I was about four or five, if I did something wrong (or tried to) my parents would threaten to send me to The Bad Boys House.
Mind you, this was YEARS before COPS came along.

If you misbehave, you’re going toThe Bad Boys House.

I pictured some big government-run juvenile detention center(like jail for little kids), armed guards, and a big sign over the front gates:
The Bad Boys House.

I was told the big house around the corner was The Bad Boys House. If my brother or I acted up, that’s where we’d end up.

Watching all the Western movies as a kid, I thought all the bank robbers would go to the Bad Boys House.
Al Capone in the Bad Boys House.
Charles Manson in the Bad Boys House.

Years later I actually knocked on the door of The Bad Boys House, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson were nice as punch.

We've talked about Dunkaroos on this forum a time or two, but does anyone remember Dizzy Grizzlies? Essentially, they were Teddy Grahams, but coated with chocolate frosting and those little tiny round sprinkles on the backside.

And since this was the 90s, a time where everything was "X-treme," the little teddies were always depicted on skateboards, or mountain bikes, or roller blades, and the like.

Anyway, the commercials advertised they were called "Dizzy Grizzlies," because when they were spun around so fast, it made them dizzy, and they always showed those cartoony swirls over their eyes.

As you can imagine, as a five and six-year-old kid, I would spin those little teddies around as fast as I could just to see if I could make them so dizzy their eyes would start swirling . . . it never worked without the help of some hallucinogenic substance . . . I'm kidding, it didn't work at all; I was a disappointed kid.

In Sunday School when I was little, they gave us certain Bible scriptures-
John 3:16, Romans 8:28, Luke 4:28, etc.

I thought the numbers afterwards were the time they said it.

 

[D'Snowth]

Apparently, so did Bucky Katt. . . .

Vandalizing Wikipedia articles and putting weird nonsense only I thought was funny/could come up with in them. Heck, I used to do that on Muppet Central too.

Just saw this post, but yeah, could relate to this myself. Just putting in random gibberish out of boredom.
