When I was in first grade there were a couple of temporary foreign students. No clue why they came, though I'm curious. One was a Guatemalan boy who spoke no English. The other was a French girl who spoke English very well. She was a froufrou girlygirl to the bone. And I...I became the object of her affection Every morning when she came in she would come straight to where I sat and kiss me. Then she would put her little froufrou bag on my desk and begin slipping off her little froufrou gloves while telling me how glad she was to see me and how desperately she had missed me. Yes...I was mortified. I couldn't do anything but wait for her to finish and go and sit down. This went on for weeks. No, the teacher didn't help. I wonder now if she might not have enjoyed it. It must have been very cute...to an adult. Anyway one day the little girl didn't come. I never saw her again. But I never forgot her
Anyone else have a funny/embarrassing childhood story to share or you just want to laugh at me?

When I was young I spoke with a really strong lisp. In second grade we all had to pick a poem to recite to the class. Mine was about a silly sailor who sailed the seven seas. Only my thilly thailor thailed the thevin theas.

I have so many... I was a strange child. ;P

When I was in 2nd grade, my family went on camping trip to Colorado. My sister, who was in 4th grade, was telling me stories about how kids had gone off into the wild and gotten raised by wolves. I totally believed her and thought it was awesome, so I announced to the whole family that I was going to run away into the forest and get raised by wolves. I got this hankerchief and tied it around a stick and put a tube of toothpaste in there and walked off into the night. My whole family was laughing and saying "bye bye!!" because they thought I was joking and would come back in 5 minutes.

Well on the inside I didn't really buy the whole wolf thing, but I was too stubborn to turn back. I walked into the night, and after 20 minutes of walking, I realized I had no idea where I was. I heard real coyotes howling and it scared the crap out of me. I was bawling my eyes out and I had walked almost completely out of the park grounds before my dad found me.

Silly me. :'D
Thanks for this!

When I was young my aunt would babysit me sometimes and I would get down on hands and feet pretending I was a dog and asked my aunt to tie one of my legs to her kitchen table and give me water in a bowl. She laughs now saying I was the easiest child that she ever babysat.

Sunday school, six years old, I was trying desperately to get around learning the weekly Bible verse, since we all had to learn one. For a while I hade been getting away with "And Jesus wept." Sadly, the teacher was catching onto me and in front of every one else said that I couldn't use that one any more and demanded another on the spot. I looked up at her and my head, blank as it was, came up with Genesis 4, verse forgotten, "And Adam knew his wife."
I could never understand why the old bird got so mad (I mean it was in the Bible, I had it right), or why, when she told my father he laughed and said "Well, you would hope so!" and she got madder. All I knew was that my days of having my own control over learning Bible verses was definitely over.
Thanks for this!

When I was in kindergarten, I bit Miss America on the arm during recess. The teacher gave us a ball and told us to share, but Kathy wouldn't share - so I bit her on the arm to make her let go of the ball. I learned it's not appropriate to bite other people, and Kathy learned how to share with others. She didn't win Miss America (1976), but she was a runner up and we were all very proud of her. I'm glad my bite didn't leave a scar.
Thanks for this!

I have several stories but I'll share one for now. I was a very shy child and didn't question things much. When I was 7, my mother woke me up at 3:00 AM saying "breakfast is ready" - she looked a bit miffed. I get up and it's dark outside and I begin eatng my cornflakes, all the time wondering "why am I eating breakfast in the middle of the night", but I sensed she wasn't pleased. So I finally muster the courage to ask and she replied - " well you were pestering me for half an hour, that you wanted cornflakes and wouldn't give up". Turns out I was sleep walking lol.

haha Lynn! That reminds me of when I was staying over my cousins and someone who was sitting on the couch kept asking for the remote, and I kept trying to hand it to him not realising he was fast asleep! My cousin started laughing and pointed out he wasnt actually going to take the remote.
Thanks for this!
