So I know most of us or should I say ALL of us had done and asked the most stupid of things in our childhood years. At some point, we ask questions to the elders which ends up in an awkward silence and knowing looks, and sometimes we got laugh at because of our innocence and ignorance. There are experiences that even now that many years had passed, our family still mentions those to us in our face to still make fun of us. So do you recall anything you asked or done in your younger years that made your elders laughed at you or when they go to this AWKWARD MODE 'coz no one felt comfortable telling you the answer?
Hmm..If you're gonna ask me, I really don't recall much but my Mom and siblings had repeatedly told me of my quirky habits like, sleeping with my foot and and legs leaning up the wall, or asking my Mom if I would start calling her Grandma when her hair turns gray and things. They're not really laughable to me, although the delivery of my questions might have been funny to them, but not to me, I'm just trying to satisfy a child's curios mind. *wink*
If you don't remember anything, how about your child(ren), did they ever ask or did things you find funny or awkward ?

Yeah I think we all asked our parents that sort of lets say stupid things. I actually don't remember a lot of them but I remember that I was a really funny guy when I was young. Like I pour juice and then selling it to mum or dad for money. Or asking mum for her secret and when she told me one I go to dad as fast as I could and tell him the secret. And there might be lots of that things in my young years. I think that is just a way to learn something when we are young. We just learn something everyday but when we are young and we want something we ask them by that silly way :D

LOL! So your parents' secrets are not safe with you huh? That was really funny, I wonder how your Mom and Dad reacted when you shared their secrets to the other. ^^ Yeah, I know but it's just adorable how kids are right? :D

I don't know what i have done in my childhood but my parents use to say my naughty things. One of the most thing that i want to share with you guys is when i was at 4years of age, i went to aunt's house and their i pushed my aunt's son into the pond and was clapping and laughing at that time. This made my aunt anger and she beaten me nicely. My parents still remember those kind of my childhood memories. Thanks for sharing this. I am glad to remember my childhood days.

LOL! Well that was just mean, but nothing can stop a kid to try things that he would enjoy anyway (except for a warning of spanking from our parents). My older brother, my Mom told me, did that a lot too. ^^

I asked my mother when the past was going to return 
I knew we had four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and I knew that we experienced every season every year, so I thought that the past was like that, too. I thought that the 50's, the 60's and the other decades that my parents had told me about would return as well and so that I would get the chance to experience them, too. My mother tried to explain it to me, and she told me that the decades that she had experienced as a child wasn't going to come back but the time that we experienced would become "the past" one day. I didn't understand that. I still thought that the past was going to return just like the summer returned every year
