Have you eaten anything that you shouldn't as a child?

The only thing I could remember taking, which I wasn't supposed to was oil. I had a habit of just grabbing anything in the cuboard or the fridge when I was a kid and just chug it down without using a cup. I once grabbed a bottle thinking it was juice. I already drank a lot before I noticed that it was oil that I was drinking.

When i am a kid, I always having the habit of my fingers on mouth in all time when i alone. This not in my memorie my Parents telling i am doing always i alone. So that i haun't any chance to do that. It's not Good to all. Some time it's take serious Problem. So Parents need to take care with this one.

I have a friend who told me they used to chew on paper when they were grade schoolers. I don't remember myself eating weird stuff but I do remember me and sister eating the fruit of tuba which was actually poisonous and we were just thankful that we puked all of it and didn't have to go to the hospital.

I remember for a while when I was 5 I would eat cat food. And I actually kind of liked the taste..It was very salty. Until my mom caught me one day and got super duper angry at me. .

Oh, I'm sure I did. Crayons come to mind for sure. For the record, the blue ones are high in fiber. :) Also I'm sure that when we are children, we tend to really try and eat a lot of things. Thankfully it was nothing that was too dangerous to say the very least. Well other than a rather unfortunate and nasty bowel movement, but that's just small potatoes. I'm sure I learned what mud tasted like. And cardboard as well. What we think as children is rather going to be something that is really just going to really just amuse me to say the very least. Well its kind of amusing, unless it is deadly. Of course, I look back and rather cringe, but hey, that is just what tends to happen. So young and naive and trusting during those days.

well you discussion really took me to old good days of my childhood. but as far as i remember i was an obedient daughter. i used to think of eating many things which that time i found appealing but then i was really scared of my mom's scoldings.

I remembered eating dog meat before. I didn't know it was a dog meat, i was only a child and they didn't tell me that it was a dog. I thought it was a chicken!!!!!! I only knew that it was a dog when i finished eating it. I even said it was delicious. Since then, i always check what food i eat. LOL. Those are funny accidents, good thing nothing nothing happens to them. But i feel bad for those children, who accidentally, drink gasoline or some chemicals that are scattered around the houses. I remembered we had a patient, he was a child, He accidentally drunk a bottle of gasoline. His father is to blame, because he put the gasoline in a drinking bottle container. Since he was a child, he didn't know it was gasoline, so he drank it. Good thing he was saved, but very ill. His body turned brown to black. His system has absorbed some of the gasoline content.

Well I'm not sure if this counts but I swallowed a quarter once Lol. I was in 2nd grade and my mother told me to stop playing around with it in my mouth (pause) but I did it any way. I didn't choke but it did hurt.
