10 fun and crazy things I used to do when I was a kid.

1) My sister and I loved playing dress-up when we were kids. I used to take pictures of her whenever I was able to get a hold of my mom's phone. I think I've always been interested in photography. I just never had anything to practice with. Having a Photo Studio is one of my small dream businesses. There a lot of apps to edit photos with now but it is still nice nice to have your picture taken by a professional, right?

2) I used to climb narrow hallways as if I was Spiderman. I would place each foot and hand on each side of the hallway. I would then push myself upwards.I hope that you can imagine it. It would have been better if I have a picture of myself doing it but I don't and we currently don't have narrow hallways in the house that I'm staying at right now. I also don't want to steal someone else's picture online. Sorry.

3) My siblings and I used to play a crazy version of hide and seek. To play, there should be an "it" person, a "look out" person (someone who is usually tired from playing) and a bunch of "hiders". We used to hide on the full wall cabinet that we had back in our old house. The "it" person would have a ruler that he can stick at the cracks (the sides of the doors) of the cabinet but he could only stick them to a number of doors that is equivalent to the number of players. If there were only three "hiders" then he could only stick the ruler into three cabinet doors. This was why we had a "look out" to check if the "it" was following the game's mechanics. The ruler was supposed to help the "it" person check if there was a person inside the cabinet. After he had consumed all his tries, he would then try to guess where the "hiders" were. His first correct answer would determine who the next "it" is. The number of guesses was also equivalent to the number of "hiders". If he wasn't able to get any correct answer then the "hiders" would have another chance in changing their positions and the "it" would count again. The number of counts for hiding would depend on how many "hiders" there were.

4) We used to build a fort in our living room with the use of all our dining chairs, lots of pillows and a few bedsheets. This was where my siblings and I prefer to sleep at night. We didn't really sleep in our bedroom for more than half of our childhood years.

5) Now, the next one is not something you should try. My siblings and I used to make small fires on our backyard. We used to look for opened tin cans around the house and use them as a small casserole to boil leaves in. Sometimes, we also use tin cans to melt candles in. Once the candle wax starts flaming because of the intense heat of the fire, we would then pour water on the can FROM A DISTANCE. This was very dangerous and it left small burn scars on my arms. We never really deemed it as dangerous when we were kids, we just thought that it was fun. We used to do it when our parents were not around or were busy doing chores. I mean it wasn't really easy to always monitor what five kids could do. We didn't do it often though. This is one reason why my husband and I are not planning to have another child of our own in the future. It is just so we can easily always monitor what our only offspring is doing.

6) We used to sneak into parked buses and try to steal used bus tickets. It wasn't really stealing because the tickets were already considered trash. We used the tickets as pretend money whenever we were playing buy and sell. Our products were different kinds of leaves that we got from the trees on our backyard.

7) We used to fish for tadpoles on a small lake near our house. It was a very dirty lake but we didn't really know any better because we were kids. Can you just imagine how wild kids were back in the days?

8) We often spent our days strolling around our neighbourhood and discovering new plants, flowers and fruits.

9) Here's another one that you shouldn't also try. We used to pretend that we were superheroes and we would often punch and kick other kids just because they were our "pretend" super villains. We didn't really throw hard punches and kicks but the other kids didn't know that we were playing "pretend" so they always complained about us to their parents and then we'd get in trouble. Nobody had the guts to say something about it to my dad though. I think they were scared of him. He didn't really have a great image with our neighbours. I do regret playing that game now. If I could go back to the past, I would probably scold myself for all the crazy things that I did.

10) We used to buy packs of Dutch Treat Chocolates. If you haven't heard of it, it comes with a paper mask for every pack. We wore the paper masks whenever we're pretending to be superheroes.

There you go! There are a lot more crazy things that I can say but I'm not going to include them any more because I don't really plan on having an image of a wild person just yet. I'll probably write about them eventually if this post gets a lot views. If it doesn't then it only means that people are just not interested. Haha! What were the crazy things that you used to do when you were still a kid? Feel free to share it on the comment section down below. Thanks for reading!

Here's an edit of blurry pictures of me with my husband and son just because my kid is also a bit wild just like me. Can you notice the white lines on the side of my son's face? He used my white eye liner pencil to draw them.
