Not too long after that I had a very traumatic little cut on my finger which devastated me because I firmly believed that all my Chinese blood was leaking out. Apparently I had a nice little panic attack over not being Chinese anymore. </p> <p>The best thing is that I remember my whole thought process in both situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104866 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:05:35 +0000 heffalump 104866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to say "when artbee was a little boy, she ate Mac and cheese." I always made people the opposite sex, and they always ate Mac and cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104272 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:31:25 +0000 stiffaknee 104272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl lets just say cooking was not my moms strong point...i probably would not have eaten if it werent for mcdonalds happy meals!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104160 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:35:44 +0000 eeh 104160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to tell everyone my mom is afraid of chocolate. Really, she is ALLERGIC to chocolate but apparently that word was beyond my vocabulary so I went with afraid.</p> <p>My dad and I had a thing where we would call rabbits, runny babbits and butterflies, flutterbies. I still call them that and when I'm talking to anyone who's not family I have to slow down and think through what I'm saying to make sure I say it the right way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104113 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:58:08 +0000 mediagirl 104113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee: hahaha did you mom hit up the drive-through a lot?? :)<br /> @MamaMoose: sassy is right!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104081 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:34:50 +0000 MamaMoose 104081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 5 I was telling my mom some stupid story about what happened in kindergarden that day and she was busy trying to make dinner. Apparently half way through I stopped and informed her "mommy, I want your eyes to look at my eyes when I'm talking to you". I was sassy from a young age : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104068 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:22:41 +0000 stiffaknee 104068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom swears to me my first sentence was "thank you please drive around". I also went through a phase from 3-4 where I would only answer to "Matilda" and insisted everyone call me "Matilda" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-random-things-did-you-say-as-a-child#post-104060 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:20:26 +0000 mediagirl 104060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called all bugs "Sharps" and anything that flew in the air "Beepers." My parents still have no clue where those words came from! </p>
