People Share the Weird Things That Creeped Them out When They Were Kids
When I was a young lad, I was always terrified of being shot in the back with an arrow as I ran up the stairs in our house. So I would sprint up that set of stairs as fast as I could like my life depended on it. Every single time.
Clearly, I was a normal child and have now transitioned into a well-adjusted adult.
Okay, maybe not.
AskReddit users went on the record and shared their frightful childhood memories.
1. Freaked out by the peach.
“James and the Giant peach. Not the insects, but the actual peach.”
2. Don’t like that sound at all.
“The sound of a balloon popping i dont know why but that used to absolutely terrify me.”
3. Haunted by ET.
“Fucking ET, the Extra-Terrestrial. Used to give me nightmares that he was trying to stab me with a long butcher knife.”
4. Still fired up about this one.
“China dolls, but it’s not ridiculous and I’m 40 next week and still scared of them.
Right, so they’re toys, yes? So why do their EYES FUCKING MOVE? They can fuck off.”
5. Even the tiny ones…
“Spiders, even the tiny ones. I really have a severe arachnophobia.”
6. Beware of the wolves.
“Imaginary wolves. I grew up in a house in the woods. Our nearest neighbors were a mile away. Whenever I went outside to get something from my moms car or the mailbox or whatever I always imagined that a pack of wolves was on the prowl and if I wasn’t as fast as I could possibly go, they would eat me.”
7. Urban legend.
“Bloody Mary. Where you go into the bathroom, turn the light off, turn a round three times while chanting “Bloody Mary” three times and then look in the mirror and she will appear and scratches will be left on your face.”
8. From beyond…
“I was convinced the martians from Mars Attacks would eventually show up and vaporize us all. You couldn’t convince me otherwise.
My dad would say, “aliens aren’t real.” And I would counter with my paranoid logic, “But how do you KNOW that? You can’t know for sure.””
9. Don’t run in these.
“Courdory pants. When I was 3 or 4, my sister told me that if I wore them and ran, my crotch would catch on fire. I am 31 and still have a strong aversion to courdory.”
10. We’re under attack!
“As a toddler I would watch those trashy ultraviolent action movies they’d play on TNT. It was one of the few times he was ever chill/not screaming or hitting me or my brother, so we were all in.
Then military operations against our house became a very real fear. What if they use paratroopers??!!”
11. Stranger danger.
“The stranger danger stuff. Still waiting to be offer drugs, lol Was offered alchohol when underage, declined because 1. beer is gross and 2. I was watching a sick baby.
Well now as an adult lots of people in my life are strangers.”
12. Scared in general.
“The talking toilet from Look Who’s Talking. Gave me my very first nightmare where I couldn’t talk or run, I could just stare helplessly at this talking toilet, which was giant in my nightmare. I was 3 or 4 I think. For a while I was just scared of toilets in general.
I also remember being afraid of the country being invaded for no particular reason. My mom tried to reason with me that anything can happen, so it’s not worth worrying about. She said a plane could crash into the house at any moment too, but it probably won’t. This reasoning backfired because for a while I was scared of a plane crashing into the house randomly.
Oh and also, when I was 5, I thought a tornado drill was a tornado that could drill through the ground and get you through the floor…….I was a pretty scared child in general.”
13. He’s heeeeeeeere.
“I always thought Big Foot would decide to show up outside of my back yard door late at night.”
14. That makes sense.
“Purple gloves. I knew that if a doctor put on purple gloves, they were about to get a needle or do something that would hurt. I had a lot of anxiety with doctors and doctors offices, probably because I was born premature and spent the first three months of my life in the NICU and dealt with medical problems the first three to four years of my life.”
15. I definitely thought about this as a kid.
“The never ending timeline of eternity in the afterlife (if it exists).”
That brought back a flood of memories from when I was a kid, that’s for sure.
Do you remember the things that freaked you out when you were a child?
Share them with us in the comments! Let’s compare notes on this one!

Funny Things That Kids Shared With The World
We know that kids have little or no filter – they say and do what they want, when they want.
And because people like these folks on Twitter share these interactions, we’re all the better for it!
Here are some truly funny things that kids did last year.
Enjoy!
1. I think he nailed it.
So my 4 year old nephew asked me to draw him Harry Potter, he then excitedly shouted “I’LL DO THE LEGS!!!!” pic.twitter.com/efHATwwfwZ

2. I would’ve cried, too.
my three year old niece ordering the jacket potato then crying when it arrived because she thought it was a potato wearing a jacket was the highlight of my night like

3. Can’t win with this one.
my niece has been moaning that she hasn’t had a valentines card so my brother sent one signed ‘?’ And she has been crying for hours saying she’s got a stalker
— mollie banks (@_molliebanks) February 7, 2019
4. Camp is really bad.
5. That’s a huge step forward.
We cracked the code to potty training our daughter. Spider man underwear. It took her picking out her own Spider-Man underwear to completely potty train herself. She won’t have an accident because she “can’t go potty on Spider-Man”. I can’t believe that’s all it took lol
— sammy (@sammylynn_) November 22, 2019
6. Now you’re in for it.
My eight year old has started talking back and then saying (outloud) “hashtag roasted” and dabbing. Not one of the parenting books prepared me for this.
— Ally (@TragicAllyHere) June 23, 2019
7. “You better pick me up!”
8. No response to that line.
My kids have had two fish and named them Dave and Dave.
I asked them how they can tell them apart and my youngest son said ‘One of them is Scottish, so you pronounce his name differently.’
I mean. What do you say to that?
— Dr. Jessica Taylor (@DrJessTaylor) September 23, 2019
9. That’s kind of amazing.
yesterday morning after his soccer game, my 6 year old asked me how come the other team gets to change the color of their jerseys every week, while we always had to wear purple. when i explained that, in fact, we were playing against different teams each week, his mind was blown.
— Daniel Alarcón (@DanielGAlarcon) May 5, 2019
10. Just do your best.
In the best yet things-my-nephews-have-done, the 7 year old ordered a burger today, and was asked if he wanted it medium. "Could you please make it very large?" he asked. Told that the choice was between medium or well done, he asked if the chef could do the best he could. Yes.
— Andy Kesson (@andykesson) August 16, 2019
11. That’s commitment.
Was on the bus the other day and two kids about 10 were in front of me. One of them said that his parents won't let him get a dog so he used to stare at the sun to try make himself blind so he could get a guide dog. No doubt he was waffling but you have to admire his imagination
— Joey D'Arcy (@JoeyDarcyy) March 11, 2019
12. Ugh! Gross!
[At dinner]
Daughter: Daddy, how much of this meatball is meat?
Me: Probably like 90%
D: So it's 10% balls?
Me: *spits out food*— Tim (@Playing_Dad) January 3, 2016
13. You better get that kid some spaghetti.
4: Mama, I'm not feeling so good.
Me: What's wrong baby girl?
4: I haven't had spaghetti for so long my stomach misses it. Listen, *puffs up belly* you can hear my tummy cry.
— kiersty: kah-ear-stee (@kahearstee) January 31, 2019
14. That means you better share.
4-year-old: Can I have some of your candy?
Wife: I got this for Mother's Day.
4: You're only a mom because of me.
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) May 13, 2017
15. Pride Cheerios.
My kid just called Fruit Loops "Pride Cheerios" and I've never been happier in my life that this little dude calls me mom.

If Kids Aren’t Your Thing, These Memes Are For You

3 year-old genius girl accepted into Mensa
A 3 year old genius girl was accepted into Mensa. The doctors who tested Alexis said she tested so high, they couldn’t even calculate her IQ score. They say she is smarter than 99.9% of the world. Alexis started reading at two and taught herself Spanish via her parents’ iPad.
Students Clean Their Own Classrooms and Toilets in Japan
It’s actually common for Japanese people to take responsibility for cleaning public spaces they utilize.
Photo Credit: Needpix
After a recent win over the Colombian football team during the World Cup, the fans naturally wanted to celebrate. But not until they all pitched in to clean the stadium.
This Japanese drive to maintain cleanliness is a concept introduced during their early school years. According to Bright Vibes, the o-soji (cleaning), as it is called, is tradition in Japanese schools.
【News: Japanese-Style Education “Special Activities” /Tokubetsukatsudo(Tokkatsu) Spreads to Egyptian Elementary…
Posted by JICA – Japan International Cooperation Agency on Tuesday, January 10, 2017
Making the children clean their schoolrooms and restrooms has nothing to do with lack of manpower. Even though people – called yomushuji, often shortened to shuji – are hired for non-teaching roles like cleaning and maintaining school grounds, children are still taught to clean. The idea is to instill the values of discipline, responsibility and the joint care of spaces into children. It’s a value they go on to hold throughout their lives.
Starting each day (except Wednesdays and Saturdays) after lunch, the students clean for approximately 20 minutes. They start with their own classrooms, then rotate as groups to clean other spaces like the playground, library and common areas. Then, they get recess.
Interesting coincidence – listening to a story by @KatGregoryABC on @abcnews about Australia’s waste management crisis and saw these Japanese primary school students doing a cleanup outside their school. pic.twitter.com/i0LWXpy8HC
— Jake Sturmer (@JakeSturmer) April 26, 2018
The school gets a longer cleaning on the last day of each semester. The children also get an o-soji song or something else to get them pumped while they clean. Older kids also help teach the little ones what to do, which bonds the kids like siblings.
Once they reach the third grade, children start participating in chiiki seiso – a full neighborhood clean-up.
If you ask me, this Japanese tradition is onto something. If everyone was taught to clean up after themselves starting in early childhood, the world would be a much cleaner place.
What do you think about the practice? Let us know in the comments.

An Expert Says That Unmarried Women Without Kids Are the ‘Healthiest and Happiest Population Subgroup’
We all face a lot of pressures in our lives – pressures about marriage, kids, happiness, and what the perfect ingredients are to live a “perfect” life. Well, the older we all get, we know that there is no such thing as perfect,’ and we also know that what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for someone else.
As a man, it seems to me that women have it much tougher than men when it comes to societal expectations (though I can only speak from my personal experience). A lot of people still think that women are supposed to settle down, get married, have children, and raise a family. That’s been the ‘traditional’ way for generations, but what if those pressures really aren’t pushing women toward happiness at the end of the day?
A professor of behavioral science named Paul Dolan published a book in 2019 called Happy Ever After: Escaping the Myths of the Perfect Life in which he makes some very interesting claims. Dolan, who teaches at the London School of Economics, said something quite controversial: he claims that “married people are happier than other population subgroups,” but only “when their spouse is in the room when they’re asked how happy they are. When the spouse is not present: f—ing miserable.”
Unmarried women with no kids are the "healthiest and happiest" population subgroup, says an expert: https://t.co/i23lg3Ts0G
— InStyle (@InStyle) July 21, 2019
Wow. That sure turns a lot of ‘common knowledge’ on its head, doesn’t it? On top of that, Dolan said that “the healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children.”
Dolan’s book and his claims are based on research that polled people who are married, single, divorced, separated, and widowed. Dolan also claims that men seem to get more out of marriage because many of them “calmed down” after getting married.
Dolan pointed out the different effects that marriage has on the sexes: For men, “you take less risks, you earn more money at work and you live a little longer. She, on the other hand, has to put up with that, and dies sooner than if she never married.”
Dolan also added this little nugget about his research and findings: “You see a single woman of 40, who has never had children — ‘Bless, that’s a shame, isn’t it? Maybe one day you’ll meet the right guy and that’ll change.’ No, maybe she’ll meet the wrong guy and that’ll change. Maybe she’ll meet a guy who makes her less happy and healthy, and die sooner.”
Yikes.

A friend wanted to know what it’s like to be a mom, so I busted down her bathroom door while she was taking a shower so I could tell her that I’m thinking about changing the name of one of my stuffed animals.
