Not a cute story, but...
I am an "only child"... also my parents were mature when i was born (mother 40 years, father 60 years...) so no grandparents, no uncles/anties, no cousins at all, and my mother wouldn't put me in the kindgarten cause she was afraid "the other kids might hit me"...

so yeah, pretty much lonely childhood, got me learning the alphabet by 3 years old and reading whole books by 5, lol... !

I remember spending my days quietly reading my books, all alone.For a long time, having lots of friends was my biggest dream! Lol, poor little me!!

I'm an only child too!! I can totally relate to part of your post. pretty lonely isn't it? but Alhamdullilah I have a good amount of cousins so it helps sometimes. My parents just were very protective growing up and pretty strict at times.

No actually people are pretty surprised how not spoiled I am. They never spoiled me at all. Always made me earn what I got. I didn't get a car until I was 21 even though I got my liscense at 17/18. My curfew was like 4 PM. Now it's maghrib if I'm lucky (and I'm 24 for crying out loud).

i bet having cousins helps a lot!! i`m happy for you!!

as for parents,mine were very protective too, i couldn`t even go to school by myself ( my mother would WALK ME to school till i was like, 13 years old... hehehe!!

on a side note: you could also tell by the fact that she always took an umbrella with her to protect me from the sun and an enourmous bottle of fresh water, in case i`d get thirsty in the way ...

:wierdo of the school:
lol...moms, gotta love them!!

The floor is lava was a popular game for me during my childhood...

As a kid, I used to like playing with pencils. But one day, I stabbed myself in my upper left hand cheek and the small piece of graphite still resides in my upper left hand cheek today. The doctor told my parents that it wasn't really that serious and that it could stay in there. Naturally since it was the cheaper option, my parents kept it in there

.

My brother and I used to have an obsession with toy cars, especially hot wheels. We would have car wars basically consisting of ramming each other's cars against each other or stating that such and such car had a special power. I remember he really wanted one of my cool cars so he offered me five dollars for it. Naturally, I vehemently objected but my dad forced me into doing it because he claimed it was a good deal(the cars were bought for like 25 cents each). I still have bitter feelings against my dad today. Worst deal I've ever made.

When I was really young, I was obsessed with my older brother and I wanted to be just like him. I would always cut my own hair so that it looked like my brother's. My brother had a best friend named Pascal and I would go around telling everyone to call me Pascal cause I thought my brother would think I was his best friend and hang around me more....

My friend and I would feed her dog Hershey kisses... with the foil still on

We didn't believe her mom when she told us dogs couldn't have chocolate. Until he threw up everywhere...

Her mom: YOU FED HIM THE KISSES WITH THE FOIL STILL ON??

friend and I:

AstagfurAllah
