First, I don't expect anyone to discuss things or events best left to therapy sessions. Just things that embarrassed you as a kid that you can laugh off now because it seems superficial looking back. I'll begin.

When I was maybe twelve or so, I had a Doctor Dreadful Lunch Lab. I loved the ads, and the thought of making gross but edible things. Said set had stuff that made zombie blood, decayed flesh, and mold to put on bread. Really it was just sugary dye.

But when I finally got one, I was super excited. I loved the blood and candied flesh. But when I got to the green dye and made a moldy PB&J sandwich, one bite and I nearly upchucked. I didn't know why. My sisters, who couldn't stand the sight of real mold anymore than I could, thought the fake moldy bread was funny and were chomping away. I couldn't even finish mine, and they were laughing (even my mother), because it the toy that I wanted but couldn't handle!

On the other hand, I had accidentally ingested moldy food before; bread, doughnuts, rolls - always spitting them out and discarding them once I realized what I was eating. For some reason, my brain knew I was eating something fresh, but my subconscious made my body reject them. Eventually, my sisters finished off the mold mix; they understood, and left me with the red stuff. Memories.

I dressed as The Fonz every single day in fourth grade, so much so that the school contacted my parents thinking they couldn't afford any other clothes for me.

Mullet.

I found it extremely embarrassing to be so much more awesome than everyone else.

not too many embarrassing things in my childhood, I think. Got poo'd on all over my pants by a little puppy at a party for kids once and everyone saw it. That was kinda embarrassing.

But yeah, there's not too much embarressing stuff about my childhood. There are way, way, way worse things that I did when I was an adult already however....

These really made me smile!

I was a massive klutz. Hell, I still am. But trying to catch a bowling ball is never a good idea. Don't believe me? Ask my pinky finger. It basically got crushed and there's a pea-sized bump on it from where the bone stuck out. Fun times.

To this day, every time I see my mum's cousin, the second I walk in the door will say "arse cream", in reference to my unfortunate early attempts at asking for Ice cream

Wow, that made me cringe! Must have hurt so much...

I ate an old egg sandwich once, horrific food poisoning for days.
Also accidentally ate maggots on chocolate, only halfway through the bar did I realise what was going on.

Accidentally told a girl I really fancied that I wore girl's deodorant because I didn't understand the word unisex. This one still haunts me.

I used to dress as BoyGirl (or sometimes GirlBoy but it was essentially the same thing) using my sisters clothes. Glad I grew out of that one.

Once confronted my mother over what I thought was drugs in her cupboard but was actually make-up.
Confronted her again (by letter this time even though we lived together) over a used condom she had under her bed as she was a single mum. Didn't get a response.

I once tried to smuggle a wooden sword I'd made (probably about 3 or 4 feet in length) from my dad's to my mum's by putting it down my trousers and up my t-shirt. I walked like an idiot and had to sit with straight legs for the hour car journey... in hindsight I think someone might have noticed.

These are great!

I have many embarassing childhood stories - not many that are repeatable really though.

...passed out at a party once while the girl I was going out with was still making out with me...and she was simultaneously snogging another guy...while I was passed out....and this was photographed. That was a bit embarassing! Needless to say I wasnt impressed the next morning. Ahh alcohol.

At the time it was the stuff of debauched legends...but I dread to think what that would have been like if it had happened today, in the age of digital cameras and facebook. Schools wouldnt be safe from shame.

I was once so angry at my sister that I picked up a large and very wet piece of dog shit and threw it in her general direction. So of course it landed IN HER OPEN MOUTH. She ran in to the house, screaming, and proceeded to vomit her stomach contents mixed with the anal secretions of our German Shepherd cross into the bathroom sink. I still feel immensely guilty.

I once made a tape of me and my little cousins saying the filthiest words we could imagine. Of course my uncles and aunties found the tape and I was sure I was to be sent to the gallows. Instead they died of laughter, listening to a tape full of kids saying "poo poo poo poo, bum bum bum bum, wee wee, doodle doodle, piss piss piss piss piss" and so on.

that....is....the best...story....EVER!!!!!!!

Mullet.

I, too, was afflicted by the mullet--I blame my then poneytail-toting father.

Beyond that, I LOVED Small Soldiers as a kid (it's still amazing now) but I was obsessed. I remember, first day of school, I was so excited because I was walking to the bus with a Small Soldiers lunchbox, camo Small Soldiers shirt, camo shorts, and a flat top just like Chip Hazard.

I was digging through some old photos a few years back and found a picture of that one--lord.

Classic! Ooh, I was once messing around with a rounders bat and accidentally whacked my sister round the back of her head. My parents had just split up and it happened to be a night my dad came round to get something. He opened the door, my mum, my sister and I were all in tears. My sister still brings it up as if I did it on purpose!

Hmmm...come to think of it, I'm sure we could make a whole thread of "horrible things we did to our siblings"

This is brilliant! I just burst out laughing and I'm at work. Funny looks all around.
