People Share The Most ‘On Brand’ Things They Did As A Kid
Patterns emerge from a young age and a lot of the time it’s easy to see who someone is going to become based on what they do as a kid. For instance, I goofed off in class and never stopped talking and now I work in comedy, and any kid who drinks Monster Energy and yells at his mom while playing Xbox is probably gonna grow up to still suck just as much.

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.

At age 7, I named my guinea pig Hyacinth after Hyacinth Bucket from the sitcom ‘Keeping Up Appearances’.
I now work on sitcoms, and I’m a massive gay. https://t.co/NUzmESXvs7

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

10yrs old, parents got firm about lights-out so i would stop reading & sleep but instead of sleeping or even doing anything else i used one of the electric heating pads & kept a book in my pillowcase just so i could read at night, by the tiny orange light of the temp indicator.

Crashed my bicycle into a hedge. Got told off by the Police for how I rode my bicycle. I’m a biker now and some things haven’t changed

…and I kept yelling until I finally got up and recited it from beginning to end before going right back to my corner.
And thus is my social life ever since: Silent until you start talking about something I’m obsessed with, then insufferable.
