Your worst childhood memory

[Zepren]

Here's mine.
Once apon a time, i was like 4 btw, i was on the top landing of my old house. I was talking to my mum as i went to head down stairs. She told me to watch out for the stairs and just as she did i turned round and fell down them...

It gets better.

My dad had been doing some sort of DIY and had left a ladder in the hallway. So i first fell down the stairs then cracked my head off this ladder. Remarkably, I was fine, or was I?

So whats yours?

My worst childhood memory eh. When I was in year 3 our good old dog Murphy passed away, they were some sad times.

Being thrown off of a bench at school when around 10 or 11 (it was my last year of Primary/Elementary School) and hitting the concrete face first I'd have to say is my worst. I had a lot of dental work done on me after that one. The sick thing is that the extent of bastards punishment was to "face the wall" for the rest of the lunch-time, they didn't even call my mother. She only found out after school. She expressed the wish that she had sued them several times after that.

I occasionally get the impression that I have repressed some memories worse than that, but I am not sure why.

I hold my child self in great contempt.
I flinch when I remember the stupid things I did as a child.

As do I, as well as the less than pleasant things that happened in general. Although admittedly I go through a phase of that every couple of years, I currently despise the person I was at the ages 16-18.

My worst memory is either when i fell on a piece of glass while playing football, i still have a dent in my leg where it went in.

or when my dog died when i was 8

my dad was washing dishes in the kitchen when i heard a crash from my bedroom. i ran out to see my dad yelling for my mom to call 911 while clutching his wrist which was spurting blood all over our kitchen. he had dropped a glass which broke and as he tried to catch it, it fell into his wrist, slicing everything down to the bone. After the ambulance got there and took my parents away, the cop that was there told us to get a towel or something for our newly red painted kitchen and left. i was horrified and cried for half an hour before a family friend came and mopped up all the blood while me and my sister sat outside.

Two immediately come to mind.
I'll just say one of them:
I would have been 5 years of age or younger, and I was on a motocross bike... I pressed the kill-switch to turn it off, but the safety cover had been removed, so it zapped me >.>
Damn...
or, of course, any of the times any of my cats died...

This. I am a different person, now, a revised and improved version of my younger self. It is regrettable but inevitable that I would have made decisions back then that I would look back on with disdain now.

When I was younger, maybe 3 or 4, my (stupid) babysitter was ironing clothes (even though mum and dad told her not to). The phone rung and when she went to answer it she left the iron on and close to the edge of the board. I bumped it and it fell (hot side up) on my face.

I rode my brand new BMX down a hill hit a wall with my said new BMX went over it broke my jaw and some teeth and said new BMX decided I hadn't had enough and followed my flailing young body and crashed into my head.

The results of which I had a fractured head, a wonky jaw and I bite my own fucking tongue off...

yes you heard heard right, I bit my own fucking tongue off, and let me tell you this, biting your own tongue off is the most intense pain a child can go through...

When i was 3...it was a 4th of July party at my aunt's house and it was decided that a bunch of the little ones would go out into the yard and play around with sparklers whilst a couple of adults watched...little did i know the one of my cousins would not pay attention and stumble into me hitting my chest with the sparkler. About 5 seconds later i'm pounding on the house door and shouting "help it hurts" at the top of my lungs..upon seeing me burning i am placed on a couch and the medical pro's are called and i pass out...After my awakening i see that a giant burn scar has appeared under my left armpit and covered in gauze. I still have the scar today and i'm 22 years old

I think we all make some rather dodgy decisions in our youth and act in a manner we regret.

OT - Mine would possibly have to be when I tumbled out of the bathroom window. I was upstairs and I climbed up onto the sink (I was maybe 3 or 4). I was trying to look at the garden gnomes next door. So I leaned out of the window and fell... nothing broken, just a body of bruises...

OWCH! Did you recover alright?

Back when I was six, I was at a birthday party and it was time for the piñata. My brother swings into the candy-laden beast and candy drops from its stomach. I spy with my little eye a delicious Snickers bar and, being the impulsive little six-year-old I was, dove straight for it (it was every man-boy for himself when the candy dropped, and I planned on getting my fill!), not knowing that my still-blindfolded sibling was rearing back for another swing.
I lost a tooth that day, and my mouth hurt too much to eat the candy :[

Ha yeah it took a few months but the burn marks and cuts went away after awhile. Needless to say that particular sitter was out of work for quite some time.

 

[ExaltedK9]

Too many to name...

One painful childhood memory that stands out is the time I licked that electrical outlet...Fun

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Mine still haunts me to this day. None of you would believe me, and I reallllllly don't want to share it. But I got one!

The Tongue has an amazing healing ability, ask anyone with a tongue ring that pulls it out for more than 30 minutes, the hole closes up...

Thats not to say the sheer pain of biting your own tongue off, I can actually remember it today< i can also remmeber all the bits that fell out of my mouth that day, such as tongue, bone and teeth.

I remember holding my mouth clothed till I got home to throw up in my sink because it was a safe place, and spitting out anywhere else would make me lose what I had.

I was 5 and in a rock throwing fight.

I lost.

Now i got a lovely scar on my face.

I think i phased most of the real bad ones, i mean it could have been when i sliced my leg open when i was swinging a garbage bag with a tuna can lid in it. That was fun, rigth before we were about to go camping too. Maybe it was the time i was walking around the forest pretty late and i saw a cougar... and it saw me. Luckily it had already found it meal. Possible when my friend told me her uncle touched her, and more... and that sort of gave me a mental wtf that i still feel like crap about because i never told anyone about what she had said.

Falling out of a tree whilst climbing in the "thin branches up top" was pretty damn stupid of me aswell. I didnt get hurt because im part flying squirrle and got ahold of another tree, but i was scared. Badly.

OT: everything before I played bass is a blur, can't remember.
