Gross things YOU did as a kid... - boizalynne - 03-03-2009
The show got me thinking...
What gross things did you do as a kid?

Fine, I will be brave and I will add mine first.
When I was about 14 years old, I got really sick with Anemia... REALLY sick. The weird thing is with becoming Anemic, I cravings to eat the WEIRDEST things such as soap and dirt and ice...

I know I was under 10 but I used to bite my tonails....*shudders*
I would flip if I saw my kids doing this...I can't stand to see them touch their faces, I'm such a freak about them being clean...I now know why I repressed this memory....
Gross things YOU did as a kid... - boizalynne - 03-03-2009
My brother used to do that (probably still does)!!! ^

This isn't necessarily gross, but definitely not safe. I lived in a neighborhood in Nashville that had an industrial park behind it. There was a manufacturer that made glass thermometers and they would throw all defective and/or broken ones in a dumpster out back. We used to collect these, break them and then play with the mercury.

I have a vivid memory of yelling at my sister to spit out gum that she had scraped off the sidewalk. She's a couple of years younger than me, so she was probably 5-6 at the time,but I'll still bring it up to her once in a while if we get on gross subjects.

Oh, I've got the perfect one to share about my wife, but seeing as Fuster and Biff are both on here, there's no way I'm going to share it...
As for me, when I was younger my mom used to have a NordicTrack exercise machine. She kept it in the basement family room, near where I would always lay with pillows to watch TV. I would pick my nose, and stick the boogers on the bottom of the wooden NorticTrack "ski" parts.

I ate ink once. It was an accident, but I was chewing, or sucking on a pen (here comes the edited quotes....) and a bunch of the ink came out of the inner tube thingy, and into my mouth. (more quotes) Not something I did on purpose, but it was still gross.

I've done that before too. It is gross and very messy.

I was never gross as a kid. My mom would say, "Jiggy, get in here and eat your supper!!" I would respond with something like, "But Mother, I have not washed my hands yet. Remember how easily germs spread."
...not but seriously I probably did all that booger stuff too!

Ugh. This is going to come back to bite me in the butt.
When she was very young she used to take chewed gum out of the trash and chew it.

When I was really young the only way i would eat broccoli would be to chew each piece and spit it back out on my plate, then when i was done with all of the pieces I would eat them.

You get my vote for grossest. Good god, the thought of a chewed pile of broccoli on your plate is bad enough, but the thought of you eating it makes me gag.

I did that in high school with my teacher's full knowledge. Back then mercury must not have been as poisonous as it is now. My photo professor told me that if a mercury thermometer broke today, they would have to close the entire floor of the building until it was officially cleaned and deemed "safe"
And for me, when I was in kindergarten I walked to school, and found an entire un wrapped snickers bar on the ground, I picked it up, brushed off the ants and ate it.

My husband used to search his parents van when he was little for bits of petrified food to eat... french fries, old crackers... everything was game....

i remember playing 4-square with some other kids in the neighborhood. there was a dispute over rules or something, and one girl told the other that if she wanted to stay in the game, she'd have to lick her spit off the ground. she did it. and i bet they're both making pornos now.

I had chinese for lunch today and after about my 3rd forkful of hunan beef I saw a brocolli spear and thought of this thread. It made me pause for a moment, but I kept on eating.

My God! These days if you break a mercury thermometer you better get a hazmat suit on!!! I dropped one in the lab and it broke. I did what I was supposed to and called the spill team. You should have seen the commotion!! I was standing close to it, blocking people from getting into it before the spill team came. The Employee Health nurse came flying into the lab yelling at me to get back.....She was crazed!! We couldn't have access to the lab for hours!

I don't get it, the stuff isn't THAT dangerous, I used to put it in the palm of my hand for F's sake.
from what I understand it's the vapor that's deadly, and you have to heat it to get that right ?

The way I remember it they weren't ragging on you about your post count and were actaully complimentary about you in general, unlike last fall when Free Beer said that I must not have a job because I had 2700 posts. :-[ I'm self employed dammit !

Yeah even as a freshman in high school I new swallowing the stuff was a bad idea, and getting it into a cut or scrape was bad too. However, it was pretty cool to play with, it's like nothing else on Earth.
