    This is kind of a funny memory now that I’m an adult…

    1st grade! I got suspended for biting this boy’s hand when he tried to take my HELLO KITTY eraser. OH HELLS NO! NOT THE SANRIO MERCHANDISE!!! >;O

    He was such a baby, started crying and I didn’t even break the skin.

    Pansy.

    I tend to get physically violent for some reason. *sniff* So anyway, this guy who had been stalking admiring me for a year got the courage to ask me out on a date. (I really hate him. >w<) So I smile at him, say no, punch him in the face, and run. My aunt found out and laughed. x3

    When i was about 6 years old, i found some monopoly money… and i though, wow i’m rich.. i am going to go to the depaneur (corner store) and buy alot of candy! I forgot to tell my parents that i was leaving… mind you i was 6… and i walked out of the back yard and onto the side walk…

    So i went to the store, and grabbed as much candy bars as i could and tried to pay the guy with my monopoly money… well he got pissed off at me and called the cops, and at that moment my parents ran into the store and yelled at me for running away, and stealing chocolate bars…then about 5 minutes later the cops showed up.. they all laughed at me, and i cried… i was grounded for the first time, when i was 6 cause of the “Monopoly Incident”

    Well… I haven’t gotten into much trouble in my current life. But there was this somewhat grim moment:

    A couple of years back, I went to buy the newly released Volume 30 of Naruto. Went into the CROWDED shop and there were none on the shelves. Thus, I asked the guy behind the counter for one. He handed me a copy. It was then I realized I had no money in my wallet. So I handed it back to him and told him to keep it for me while I borrowed some money from my mother. ( We were out shopping and she was waiting for me at a nearby cafe)

    The guy grunted, and I saw him place it on the shelf beside him before I left. When I came back with the money minutes later, I asked for the comic. Instead of taking it from the shelf, he kept insisting he saw me take it home- WITHOUT PAYING.

    The trouble was at it’s peak when he picked up his cellphone and wanted to call the police. The guy kept on saying I was a shoplifter, even when I insisted I did not take it. I think I got hysterical by the fifth ‘I returned it to you’. xD Everyone was staring.

    Just when I was about to burst into tears ( or call my lawyer), I remembered the comic was on the shelf. And pointed it out in the loudest tone possible. Everyone turned to the said comic. Then the guy muttered that he remembered now: I did hand it back to him, he had forgotten about it.

    I could finally leave the shop, then- without any suspicion.

    Well… there you go! Was that too long?

    When I was younger, there was a room in our house that had jalousies that my brother and I can reach the top of by standing on top of a box-like object. Whenever we played something like “Fortress”, where the room would be the fortress, and when someone would walk by, we would try and prevent that person from getting into the room. The window was the best look-out point the room had, and the best way to use it was to get up and look from the top most part of it. Our nanny always told us to stop climbing on top of the box-like object because we could fall. But since that never happened to us yet, we kept on climbing on top of it.

    Until, of course the day that I was on top of it and I fell. That wouldn’t have been too bad, except for the fact that when I fell, I accidentally took about two of the glass slats with me. So they became shattered and I cut my head. My brother called our nanny, who called my parents, who then rushed me to the hospital to have my head stitched up. My parents sort of reprimanded me because of my carelessness and also because I didn’t listen to my nanny. But I guess they think that my 6 cm. long scar at the back of my head is punishment enough.

    Hmmm.. I don’t get in trouble often, but my mom was pretty hysterical after I did this:

    My family had been invited over to a party at one of my brother’s friend’s house. He had been told to wear a bathing suit because they were going to swim in the pool out back. After they splashed around for an hour or so they were starting to wrap up the party. My parents handed my brother a towel to dry off with; he wrapped himself tightly in the towel and stood there listening to conversation near the pool. Being devious at that point, I took my lead and shoved him backwards into the pool. With tears in his eyes, he thrashed to stay afloat(he was seven and in 5 ft water). My mother screamed at me and scolded, making a huge scene. Although I regret it to this day, it was rather funny to see my parents fish the crying boy from deep end. *innocent smile*

    In grade one, my friend was sleeping for some reason in class, so I poked her… and then she needed to throw up.

    I went to a boat cruise held by my workplace, with my friend and co-workers.
    The problem was I wasn’t supposed to.
    I went straight from work.
    So it was getting late, and my parents were worrying. For some reason, I wasn’t getting any reception on my cell phone.
    So it was like wayy past midnight, and I was still out downtown, at the harbour.
    I called to get a ride, and got yelled at for not telling them where I was, or for not picking up the phone.
    My response was very calm, and it was “You didn’t give me a clear answer, so I thought it was up to me, and I decided to come. So now, I’m going to go where the other people are going, so I’m not going to be alone at the harbour waiting for a ride. Pick me up at the station.”

    I was like totally freaking out inside. But somehow I made it sound like I’m responsible, and that they weren’t clear.

    There is this one time that I got in trouble along with several of my friends and will never forget for a long time to come. It happened just this summer. Six of my friends and I were on a trip to our cabins with our parents. Our parents are great, completely liberal; so it’s alright for us to go off, fool around and have what fun we will (there are limits, though). Anyways, on one night, my friends and I were attending a bonfire with a bunch of other young people. However, as much fun all the smoke and drunk people were, we got bored after a while and snuck off.

    Where to? The dock of course. More specifically, the dock with boats tied to it. We came across this particularily pretty swan boat and next thing I knew we were all aboard and off. Now, seven people on one swan boat…do not ask how that happened and I won’t try to explain it.

    It was pretty dark and we were paddling in a random direction when two of my male friends decided it would be a clever idea to climb on top of the swan’s head. Now, this might have worked if they went one at a time but no, they had to go at the same time. What should happen next but the snapping of the swan head, followed by the flipping over of the boat itself and all seven of us in the cold, cold water.

    We swam back to shore, with the broken boat in tow. Soaked, cold, peeved and having to explain how we managed to break a boat, we were not a happy group. Oho, but our unhappiness was nothing compared to our parents’. Let’s just say, some of us are still facing the reprecussion of their unhappiness.

    In my 4th year of High School (2 years ago). The factions in the class where ready to basically kill each other. So they brought out their weapons mostly beer bottles and umbrellas and was ready to give chase with their cars.

    I stood in the middle of the road and shouted that if they wanted to kill each other, they would have to kill me X_X …then after a few heated minutes they left for home. so the two factions left the party and I slightly collapsed and said “well, at least no one got hurt” ….

    We continued the party XD

    Another! At lunch time(YESTERDAY), I shouted, “EVERYONE IN MY CLASS, I’LL TELL YOU WHO I LIKE!!” Everyone came and I said, “….I like…. cheese.”

    Good times~

    Hmm… I remeber… a few years ago.. at someone’s birthday(It was a really big one!) .. I went over to the microphone on stae and began to sing the Egg Song with my.. ‘cute’ voice. No-one was expecting it and I just sang it outta nowhere/it wasn’t on the part schedule… When I finished, everyone was clapping and going “Awwww…!!!” I felt so happy for some reason! When I got off stage, people where surrounding me and saying “Where did you learn that?” Blah blah blah blah. ^^ Here’s the egg song; http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/eggsong

    My voice sounded almost exactly the same!!

    it was my 13th party, and we were eating, and, well, considering all my friends are younger than me, they’re… well, anyway, they were like talking really loud and laughing and all that. One of my friends was a bit annoyed and told me to try and keep them quiet. So I signal them to be quiet coz I have a “speech”.

    So they’re all quiet, and I say, “I’ll like to thank everyone, but I’m afraid I can only thank one person and one person only – ME!!”

    …yeah… I have more, but I’ll say later… xD

    My moment of glory? Easy! When I was about 9 years old and I won the district violin concerto competition… hahaha I was really happy at the time because I had practically given up my social life to practise but I won it.. $100 prize for my age group.. However, ironically I gave up classical music and changed to electric violin soon after and started playing jazz and blues violin!!!

    And another was swimming the 5km triathlon path in the ocean with my brother’s ex before the official game started. We wanted to see how it was like since we weren’t prepared enough to participate (my brother did and he won first place in his division~^o^) and I was fascinated with how deep the route was (the reefs were HUGE and there were lotsa fishies).

    I think I have a number of “moments of glory”… But i think the most memorable would’ve been around 2-3 years ago.

    I was chosen and asked by the school to participate in the news writing section in a journalism contest, the Quintin Yuyitung Awards. So, we had to attend this seminar thing about news writing, before the contest proper, and I didn’t even take notes at that seminar while all the other contestants were scribbling their notes away. Even when the speaker started talking about Faye San Juan, I just sat there and listened. When the time for the contest proper came, the topic that we were supposed to write a news article about was none other than Faye San Juan. I sort of panicked right then and there( something along the lines of this guy: or maybe this one: ), while the other people were writing and referring back to their notes. But I did get myself together and wrote up an article from what I could recall from what the speaker said.

    I got an Honorable Mention in News Writing (English) for that, and up to this day, I still wonder why I got that award. More of a lucky moment of glory thing, though…

    Hmmm…I think the moment of glor that I remember most was when I was still in school. I would have been about 13 and my teacher hated me..with a passion but she had a reason I guess. I was a really troublesome student who was always getting into trouble and never handing in homework. Anyway during a “talk” she had lost her temper and snapped at me saying I would never pass my junior cert…(big exam in Ireland that say’s exactly what you can study for the last two years of your secondary education).

    So on the day of the results when I had passed all my exams and gotten the results I wanted, I walked over to her and showed her the results.

    There was nothing better right then proving to someone that no matter what they thought of me, they would never actully know me.

    My mom keeps telling me this whenever she’s complaining that I don’t read as much as I used to.

    When I was around three years old, my mom came home from work and found me “reading” a book. She thought I was just playing with it and looking at the pictures instead. So she went and asked me to read whatever word she pointed to in the page I was looking at, thinking I wouldn’t be able to read it. And I was able to read it all by myself. I showed her!

  10. silverwoulfe
    My moment of glory was more like a quiet victory. There’s this girl in school who’s constantly competing against me. She always, as in ALWAYS, compares what I do to the supposedly “better” things she does.

    Well, when we had our thesis proposal, her group (3 members) re-proposed (meaning, they had a second proposal), and got a grade of 1.5 (which has the highest that time). She asked me what my thesis was about, and had the gall to call it boring! >O I just let it pass, though.

    When I proposed my thesis (I did not have to re-propose it again, and yes, I’m alone in my thesis), I did not proclaim my grade, but then she came to me and asked anyway. I told her my grade was 1.3. Her face was like *shocked* then something like an “O~kaaay…” smile. It was interesting to see her reaction on how my “boring” thesis got a higher grade than hers.

Being told so many little white lies and the most outrages things so many times….just makes you even more gullible.

I posted a comment in the What’s the weirdest thing you used to believe in when you were younger? page about this but im gonna tell you anyways. my parents would tell me these “little white lies” to stop me from doing something, like whose parents dont tell lies to their kids? anyway one of those lies were, i quote: Honey, you better be careful because if someone kidnaps you, they’ll turn you into a hamburger and eat you!(end) …. omigush who would tell their kids that?! well my mom did and i was only 3 or 4 and, of course, i believed her. i went through my childhood avoiding anyone who looked like they would turn me into a hamburger… but stangely i still ate hamburgers then even from the fear of being turned into one. now older and smarter i only use that to make fun of my cuz. my sister and his brother and i would make fun him saying that if he gets kidnapped, he’d be the Ultimate Hamburger! which was funny cause he was kinda chubby ^^;

Where do the lies end?! not here because parents just love teasing little preschoolers till their eyes widen with fear and awe. another thing my parents told me was, quote: Oh, no! You shouldn’t swallow your gum or your belly button would swirl and disappear! So spit it out over there(end)… what a shock i had from that. after my parents told me that i ran to the bathroom to see if the gum i just swallowed made my belly button swirl, luckily it didn’t. i was so aware of what i was eating since then and made sure that i spat out my gum. i think there was even a time where i was so afraid, i had avoid gum chewing and chewers for some time. once i had told my chubby cuz about this and he went wide eyed…with laughter so i kicked his fat butt and he fell flat on his face, ah good times ^^.

While still on the topic of dangerous artifacts that should avoid being swallowed my, of course, parents made up another joke to tease me about while i was enjoying a very sweet and juicy watermelon, quote: Oh, hey. be careful not to swallow those seeds if you don’t want a watermelon to grow in your stomach(end)… as they said that i was picturing my self with a watermelon in my stomach and then exploding. so when ever we had watermelon i made sure every single seed, even the harmless white ones, were gone. it took forever to get every seed off so while i was still picking seeds off, other family members around me were already on their third piece. once i was so angry that other people were eating more than me that i just stuffed giant pieces of watermelon in my mouth making sure to avoid at least the bitter black seeds. i ate the most but i also had a horrible stomach ache. during the stomach ache i was praying to god to not let me explode, a 4 or 5 year old kid praying for her life! thats not normal. of course, after the pain i figured out that the seeds wont make you explode…or grow a giant fruit in your stomach. so now i live on with the pleasure of eating watermelons… slowly.

it was a very strange childhood for me. ^^ so did your parents ever tell outrages things to you? or was it just my crazy and scary-humored parents?
