    when I was three I remember my older brother destroying my awesome fort made out of a refrigerator box when he and his friends started wrestling in it.

    I also remember drinking vinegar because I thought it was apple juice.

    Also, Coleco-vision.

    Also, listening to Michael Jackson and thinking it was amazing that he was even more famous than Mickey Mouse.

    when i was 3(ish) i went to a nursery. one of the girls had a scarf on and when going down the slide it got caught at the top and she was strangled.

    not completely i don't think, she didn't die or anything. but she never did come back to the nursery.

    I had about two tons of Construx, three tons of Lego, and I would often use both sets on the same project. My mom was showing me off by making me read the newspaper out loud to all of her friends. I read every Calvin & Hobbes, Farside, and any other comic I could get my hands on.

    Uhm...

    Oh, and we got our first VCR.

    so, sorry if you took it the wrong way, and my condolences in your loss and stuff

    Oh, if you put it that way, I'll just think of the time everyone laughed at Nelson until he jumped out of the emergency exit of the bus

    and the time he walked down the street with his pants down.

    Must have been.

    But really, I just picked it up and was unable to hold it up and gave in to the weight of it and it fell right on top of that finger.

    How about that show, the Gummy bears was it? There were these bears, and they did adventurous things in the middle ages sort of. Bear middle-ages I guess? Who were the antagonists in that show anyway?

    Dukey and his Ogre minions. I think.


    Ooooh right. Ogres.


    Edit: I also enjoyed Prince Valiant.

    I very distinctly remember on my third birthday waking up, waking my parents, and declared that I wanted Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries for my Birthday Breakfast.

    Next thing I actually remember, I was 5, my little brother had fallen off the bunk bed in our room and knocked his teeth out, but I didn't notice 'cause I was fucking stuck on Air Man's level in Megaman 2 (fuck yooouuu cloud platforms)

    No idea if I got that bowl of Captain Crunch or not :(

    I spent my third birthday getting prepped for heart surgery, but I came down with a massive infection and it had to be postponed for a couple months. Then they started back in with the chemo.... and I never did get fixed.

    20 years later I have 2 heart attacks. I've always blamed them for that.

    I cut my finger off when I was three. I put my fingers inbetween the spikes on an electric hedgeclipper while my dad was trimming the bushes. This was done as a means to hold down the thing while I played with the string. The string that sparks the motor. It has to be like a talking doll, I thought. What fun! Fun did not follow.

    Darn, I thought I'd be the only one with a "I cut my finger off when I was 3" story. Although I was just carrying a folding chair with the seat facing away from me, it started to slip and when I readjusted my grip my finger was inside one of the hinged. Then I tripped on the edge of the carpet and fell on top of it, snapping the seat closed.

    When I was three I put a fork in the outlet, 'cause the kid babysitting me told me that I would get candy if I did.

    I ended up flying about 5 feet back and slamming my nose on a chair, breaking it, and bruising on one of my teeth.

    And I didn't even get any damn candy.

    If you coated the broken tooth with sugar and sucked on it for a while it would be candy.
