We Were All Once Odd Kids

Yes, actually, you were an odd kid. That, my friends, is a very good thing. Remember how you used to avoid some of the tiles, because they weren’t tiles, but lava? I mean, you don’t see an adult looking under their bed for monsters, anymore, or pretending that inanimate objects are alive and spy on us, but oh man is it fun to remember the crazy things we did! Well I’ve found this awesome website that reminds us of just those times.

Just as funny as, if not more than, FMyLife, IWasAnOddKid, takes submissions every day, of people all around America telling their hilarious stories of where imagination took them to. The site makes you laugh, makes you cry (okay maybe not cry). But it definitely takes you back to hilariously imaginative times. Probably my favorite submission: “When I was younger, I thought I was the only one that could bend metal spoons and that it made me a superhero.” It’s fun reading through and finding yourself laughing and saying, just like the site’s tagline, “Actually, I still do that.” Especially when it’s something as silly as “Under my bed were Giant lobsters. They only attacked your ankles when you got out of bed so you had to jump wide.” I definitely still “jump wide” before getting into bed sometimes.

Point: a kid’s imagination is WILD. Proven. I’m excited that there’s a site out there that makes gives us a new laugh everyday, and in such an innocent, nostalgic way. Because everybody was, and the lucky ones still are, odd kids.
