Oh and bringing dandelions home from the park across the road and putting them in our bedroom in a jam jar of water, then feeling upset when mummy threw them out telling us they would make us wet our beds ...

Hello!
Were you are weird child?
(Come on - you were, weren't you? 
)
What strange hobbies and pastimes did you have?
Off the top of my head, there was the ubiquitous creation of 'perfume'.
Aka fetid brown stink-water with dead flowers in it.
Mine had a 'twist' - I liked to cover it in kitchen foil and bury it in the garden.
I became very good at creating pictures with a typewriter. I also enjoyed typing up make-believe school registers.
I went through a phase of wrapping household objects with clingfilm, like a miniature Cristo.
And let's not forget - hurling yourself down the stairs with gay abandon, and nairy a thought for Health & Safety.
What were your odd childhood hobbies?
