Don't put that in your mouth!

Do you remember eating any odd things as a kid? Maybe bugs, dirt, or something else?

As a kid, I ate a lot of things people would consider weird. Among those were chalk, paper, the wood from a pencil, and my own shirts, at least of what I can recall. I was a pretty strange little kid in terms of what I would and wouldn't eat.

I ate pretty normally for a kid, but when I was younger I accidentally swallowed one of those little beady damage counters from the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

...

It was accidental, mind you.

When i was younger i ate all sort of weird crap. I used to eat paper, i remember getting told off for eating an eraser once and i was never allowed to eat on a beach because i was known to dip whatever it was i was eating into the sand x3

I used to chew on pencils, and sometimes I would still chew on straws or the caps of pens. I'm not quite sure why I do so; I guess it's just habit. I also use to put my thumb in my mouth and suck on it until like... the third grade. Thanks to my third grade teacher and the bet I made with my mom (if I quit sucking my thumb before she quit smoking I get a hamster. I obvious won) I eventually stopped, thank god. It's caused me to have weird teeth though, and thus braces.

I swallowed a marble once when I was like 7-8 :3 I thought I was going to die too xD My idea of things "going down the wrong pipe" was that the inside of your body was a series of pipes and that things that weren't food, would hit the outsides of the pipes and kill you >.<

(...I'm answering this thread while chewing on my tv remote, lol)

I was/still am notorious for eating things I shouldn't have, mostly by chewing the thing down to bits and then accidentally swallowing them, lol. Though I've mostly stopped that habit, it started a habit of me grinding my teeth at night, lol.

[SIZE="a"]I've never really ate something weird as a kid. I was always quite clean and always ate the stuff that I should eat, and not eat stuff like grass lol.

I also hate it when people gnaw on pencils - its honestly really nasty and I'd never do that.[/SIZE]

 

[Kikaito plush]

Sand, paint, playdoh I ate alot weird things as a child

 

[Truality]

No, nothing odd, seriously.

It's because I tried to lick some things that were inedible, and they always tasted gross, so I threw them away. That is still, for as long as I can remember.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I ate dog food and it tasted disgusting. (It was a dare btw) x__x I also ate random leafs and plants and mud and some other strange stuff too and they tasted reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally weird, especially mud. o.o

 

[Overlord Drakow]

BAD TOUKO. VERY BAD.

I've eaten glue before I think ¬_______¬

But that's about it.

 

[miju-kun]

I ate a leaf before and I think it was dead. And I also chew plastic until now. Does that count? xD

 

[Nick]

I used to eat paper and leafs before. But I don't think leafs really count because that's all I eat these days.

 

[Esper]

As a kid I used to suck on pennies because I liked the metallic taste and once or twice I swallowed one on accident. I also used to stick the ends of 9-volt batteries on my tongue to get that electric shock. Never swallowed a battery though, thankfully.

 

[Kevin]

I remember eating paper and stickers when I was a kid... Sort of weird and it tasted plain...

 

[Sydian]

Boogers. But what kid didn't? When I got in first grade, I decided it was immature to eat boogers though. So I moved on to my hair. I also drank my own tears. Or well, I licked them off my face. So I was way ahead of Gaga drinking her tears tonight, cause I know you love me, baby.

 

[NothingPersonal]

I ate a gravel-covered donut that dropped on the ground. I don't know what I was thinking other than the fact that I was getting a free donut.

 

[Sammi]

This thread has reminded me that I ate paper as a kid on occasion. I... kind of enjoyed the taste. ._.; Stopped when I was in middle school; a teacher of mine went on and on about how there were dangerous chemicals in that (along with chewing on pen caps). Scared me out of eating it again. XD

 

[Alley Cat]

I never really ate anything that wasn't food, haha. Even when I was little I knew what the good stuff was, ahaa.
