Spitfire...
"If you step on a crack, you'll break your fathers back." I still sometimes find myself avoiding cracks in sidewalks etc., with a vison in my head of my Dad with a broken back. Never thought about how goofy it was until now...just something I did. Thanks Dr. Spitfire, I'm cured!

Spitfire, I read and I answered, but it turned into a long (and painful)
answer that was more a post than a comment, but I gave you the credit in my heading.

Quirky, it would also be pretty embarrassing to give birth to
a watermelon; not to mention how it happened.

HolyG, don't be afraid to cross your eyes.
Just don't stick an Oreo cookie in your mouth to hold it open.
That's where the real trouble starts.

Oh, Rachel! That sucks! I hope you don't let it bother you now.
That happened with me and my brother when we were rough-housing one day and he jabbed me in the chest and I saw stars! He felt so bad but didn't understand. Mom had to explain it to him and that was very embarrassing!

I caused a pregnancy!
When I was about 5 or 6 my neighbor accidentally slammed my finger in her door. She felt just awful to have caused me such pain and tears. And when she gave birth not too long afterward, I just
knew that was her way of giving me the ultimate apology. To this day part of me still believes that.

Hmm...
Probably when my dad told me I was getting too old for him to play with me. I was ten and was starting to "develop" and he was tickling me. I was laughing and squirming and he accidentally elbowed me hard in my VERY tender chest. I cried and he yelled and said we couldn't play anymore. That put a lot of distance between us and I think even when we start to get close a part of my brain says I'm just too old...

SunnyB7, I'm sorry your mom told you that about swallowing an apple seed!
But, as far as the low self-esteem issue, I don't know how old you are, but us "Gen Xer's" are quite familliar with adults not viewing children as important as adults!! Times have certainly changed.

Funny you should say that. When I was real young and, I believe, asked my mother where I came from, she told me that I came from an apple seed that she swallowed. Good thing you don't swallow them seeds!
I think the thing that affected me most and had the biggest impact on my life is being treated as if children aren't as important as adults. I have really low self-esteem because of this and feel that I'm not as "good" as a lot of other people.

There are way too many to list, but
I remember the watermelon thing and the other was swallowing gum. The major things that I remember that have affected me are not worth rehatching.

Sorry PassionF. Yep, I can understand that would follow you.
I know you didn't ask for my 2 cents here, but I think you've taken something good from it and made your life better for yourself because of that. Sometimes, we all have certain unfortunate things happen to us but the positive of it is that we are more aware of what we don't want to be like and make more of an effort to change it for the better.
