varropdxSomething Awful already took their submissions for crazy kids or crazy things kids did in elementary and middle school.
However, stories like this are both funny and nostalgic. Every school had a Ralph Wiggum - who was yours, and what were some funny and/or weird behavior by kids there?
I'll start - this one kid in kindergarten was known for always acting up, and was obsessed with the word "poopie". (For some reason, I remember him going on and on saying "Poopie into your pants" over and over until the teachers made him leave the room.
Well, we were playing cops and robbers in the activity room, which included an indoor jungle gym. I was the cop, and cornered him, pointing my finger at him like a gun. Having watched lots of cop shows on tv (my parents weren't hippies), I yelled "FREEZE" at him.
He promptly bit me in the forearm.
(I have more stories - you tell me yours, I tell more of mine! Deal?)

Date: 2005-06-15 12:18 am (UTC)He bounced on the balls of his feet when he walked, sort of like the way you tiptoe through a quiet house, but with goofy bouncy action. All the time.
His hands were never in his pockets or at his sides, either. They were always up against his chest. He had a tendency to steeple his fingers a lot, too.
His personal hygene was pretty terrible. I'd say his showers were weekly at best. Very oily skin, bad hair, never used a q-tip.
His voice cracked painfuly when he talked or laughed.
True story: while in Jr High, he woke up one morning after his dad went to work and found his mom collapsed on the living room floor. He assumed she was taking a nap and left for school. It turns out she had suffered a stroke and was left alone all day.
Not quite Ralph Wiggum

I guess he got mad at me because he decided to lightly put it around the back wood back support (a thin piece about 3 inches in diameter with 2 more above it, gapped) and stuck a wad of gum there.
Took hours to get that stuff out. If I ever see that twerp I would give him such a talkin to.
