childhood

This might bring back memories of the time in 2nd grade when you had to miss recess because Dylan falsely accused you of calling him a butt.

It's true though. Dylan was a butt. Still is.

These people peeled back the veneer of nostalgia and really looked at what sucked about the times they grew up in.

You might find that you yourself believed some of these dumb things for a while, or even to this day. But hopefully not the bear one. The bear one is just plain dumb.

Kids just believe the darnedest things. 

Being a younger sibling is not all roses. It comes with wearing old clothes, losing at every game you play, and sometimes being told you're colorblind and adopted.

As much as you'd like to ask "what were they thinking," they are asking that themselves.

"No swearing in front of my parents" is pretty common and easy to follow, but these people had some brushes with true obsessive craziness.

For the most part, these folks admit that they didn't have much reason to do what they did other than jealousy or unawareness. Some others were put in a situation where there were very few ways to get out with grace. Either way, they make for a decent story.
