18 Funny and Slightly Embarrassing Things We All Did as Kids

Don’t you think that childhood is a magical time? When nostalgia strikes, it’s a pleasure to remember certain fun little habits we (almost) all had when we were kids. These included talking in front of the fan to make it sound as if you were “a robot” or cutting your dolls’ hair. These are habits are pretty common when we are kids. But now, many years later, when we’ve grown into responsible and serious adults, we can’t help but wonder, what we were thinking when doing those things.

That’s why Alternatech went down memory lane and listed 18 funny habits that many of us had during childhood and that don’t make much sense today. Can you relate to any of these? Enjoy!

1. Admit it: Your eraser had a lot of holes in it too. We’re not even wondering where they came from because we did the same thing.
