What odd (or even dangerous!) habits did you have as a kid?

I used to swallow pebbles all the time!! Have no idea why. One day I decided to promote the pebbles to lego men heads. Nearly choked!! My mother had to get it out for me! I went back to pebbles after that :-)

My friend caught her daughter eating slugs the other day!! Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!

    We used to climb the cliffs where I live, high cliffs, and then we'd throw things at each other and see who could hang-on the longest

    I used to love jumping off things and swinging upside down on things - I also used to go up on the roof of the house and climb into my neighbours garden (they had kids the same age as me and my sisters). That used to really freak my mum out. The neighbours were boys and they used to try and make us eat worms and beetles - I declined of course.
