What is the weirdest thing you have seen a child draw?
The weirdest thing I have ever seen a child draw was actually drawn by me. When I was 8 years old and in elementary school, we were given a project to make a calendar for our parents as a holiday project. I have no recollection of actually making this calendar, as it was just a project for us to do, likely on one of the last days of school before winter break. Here’s the front:The months are fairly benign and typical for an 8 year old child. January got a nice snowflake:February got some hearts for Valentine’s day:March got some St Patrick’s Day colors:Bear with me…April showers:Bring May flowers:June got a….well who really knows, just a bunch of Junes:July got some fireworks with the colors of the Flag:August got a trip to the water, since it was a vacation month:September got….September 11th? “American Savings Bank” on fire and police and fire dept responding to it. Why the HECK did I draw this?? Every other month has a typical theme for that month, and then, September. I had no recollection of this calendar until I found it in a box of my Mom’s items after she passed away. But to be honest, seeing it totally sent a chill down my spine! What a weird thing for a young grade school child to draw.In case anyone cares, October got a pumpkin, November got some Thanksgiving colored leaves on trees, and December got a wreath with a candy cane. Only September was out of place.Now my 8 year old self was no Nostradamus…but I thought I’d share with my fellow Quorans just the same!
What is the weirdest or most disturbing thing that a kid has said?
I work in a preschool. Creepy shit gets said and done all the time. The one that sticks out to me happened last year. There is a small kitchenette area in our classroom that the kids use during free time for playing house or whatever pretend games they think up. There was one little girl that I was keeping a close eye on, mostly because of how withdrawn from the other kids she was. I noticed she was playing with a babydoll in the kitchenette, rocking it back and forth and singing to it.She then took the baby, shoved it into the play oven and slammed the door shut. She turned around, looked straight at me, and said, "Sometimes bad babies go in timeout" in the creepiest little girl voice I've ever heard before smiling and running off. That one kind of shook me.edit: I've had a lot of people messaging me and telling me that I should keep an eye on her parents/suggesting she was abused. The concern is very heartwarming and I'm glad to see it but I can assure you that this was not the problem. She just enjoys saying outlandish things because she enjoys the reaction. It's pretty common for kids to do, this was just a more terrifying example.Lifestyle | einfonWhen my son was little he, maybe 3, he used to do this weird crawl where he would slide his forehead along the floor. That was pretty creepy in itself. Then one night he crawled across the hallway into my room like that and stood up a few inches from my face and made a weird meow sound. He got into bed with me and went to sleep. Another time he was freaking out about a monster in the basement so we went down and saw nothing, of course, and as I turned out the light and headed upstairs and he said "Hes right behind us now." I might have peed a little. Possibly the creepiest thing he did was one day I scolded him for misbehaving so he hid his head under his blanket. I pretended I couldn't find him by saying "Where is my little Carson?" He slowly lowered the blanket and with a dead evil stare said, "Carson is gone, I am Rick." I'm certain he's possessed. We never knew any Ricks, as far I can remember. Still don't. Never figured out where he picked up the name.Lifestyle | einfon
