35 of the Weirdest Things People Did As Kids
You can’t really fault kids for being weird. Youth is the only time you can do certain stuff and get a pass for it. It’s one thing for someone to have a sponge-chewing habit as a six-year-old, it’s another thing entirely to chomp on a cleaning tool as an adult.
As such, one Redditor confessed to a strange antic of his as a child: spending an entire year believing he was a dog. While it’s common for kids to experiment with barking or crawling on all fours from time to time, this Redditor apparently committed to a full 365 days of the canine life. According to his family, he ate dinner off the ground and would “regularly bite” his parents’ ankles. What’s even stranger is that he says he doesn’t remember that year at all. Woof!
Other Redditors have chimed in with their bizarre childhood habits, including one with a butter habit, another who performed revenge surgery and a third who had fruit for pets.
