She even shared a classic anecdote of her own:
Mine is probably learning how to sign my name when I was four so I could get my own library card instead of having to rely on what my parents checked out for me.

Soon enough, the responses began to pour in, and wow, were they ridiculous.

Watching Jurassic Park as a 6yo and being sad at the end because, even though terrifying, I really wanted to see the dinosaurs and realised the park (which I thought was real) might now be experiencing some moderate to severe legal issues. https://t.co/yMREjPI9xw

Always important to consider the legal repercussions, even if they’re fictional.
when I was 11 I setup a business where I bought office supplies from the store and then sold them at markup to my mom when she ran out of tape or staples etc. I hand drew spreadsheets with bulk pricing and loyalty discounts 😂

An entrepreneur from an early age!
I stole several bulbs off the Christmas tree, took them down to the basement and broke them on the floor to see what they were made of. Then I promptly forgot I had done any of that and later walked over them in bare feet.

Ouch! Kids tend to be forgetful…either way, these are just a few of the hilarious responses to the original question. What’s your most memorable moment as a kid?
