Society Story: 8 funny things we all did as children (and some of us are still doing)

Growing up, so many of us did not have access to as much technology as we do now. We did so many things to stop the boredom. Looking back, there are so many of those things that were ridiculous. As a matter of fact, we still do most of them every now and then...

Let’s take a fun walk down memory lane to remember how embarrassing we were.

#1 The white stripes were our favorite lanes on zebra crossings

#2 We could never leave the cracks in the wall just be...

#3 Most of us were definitely NOT stepping on edges on the ground

#4 I did this so many times. What was the purpose? It's hard to tell...

#5 Who else loved the feel of stepping on puddles of thin-layered ice?

#6 Damn it, there’s got to be a way to make like sides of magnets attract!

#7 We often attempted to start musical careers by clicking pens again and again and again...

#8 We would make a wish every time we saw "magical" time on a digital clock

I did some of those but we had many others that we did. First of all we didn't have digital clocks, we had the oldkind that you would wind with a key. They chimed on the half hour & hour. We had at least 9 in our house so when they went of it was a cacophony of sound. Our rule was that when the clocks chimed, your feet couldn't be touching the floor. We nearly killed ourselves jumping on chairs, countertops, window ledges, etc. I haven't thought about that in years. P.S. Whenever we had friends spend the night, they would jump straight out of the bed when the clocks all started chiming. It was hilarious! We were used to them so we never even noticed.

I also took a pinch of salt in my right hand, threw it over my left shoulder then bowed three to Diana (the moon).

When I’m anxious I catch myself counting my footsteps. I’ve been doing that a lot lately!

Made sure all dolls and stuffed animals were cozy at night in case they came alive at night

Growing up in Australia I never had the chance to step on thin ice puddles.

We used to pop tar bubbles on the road when they formed due to hot weather.

Paula Salem, I pick up pennies no matter which is up. My philosophy is a penny is the foundation to a million dollars, the more you save the more money in the bank. Grew up in the shadow of two depression era parents that saved were ever they could and instilled that saver aspect in me. Millionaires aren't born, they learn by work and saving.

I still will pick up a “heads up” penny. If it’s tails, I will turn it over and leave it.

I was an adult by the time digital clocks came around. But I seem to remember a poem about not stepping on the cracks - one from A.A.Milne.

Cheryl Tyson

Step on thin ice puddled

Climbing to the top of a tree convinced we could touch a cloud. Using the staircase to slide down on trays or giant stuffed toys. Making telephones out of tinned cans and string.
