What did you want more than anything as a kid...?

I wanted a magic carpet.

On that note I am going to go to bed and dream about magic carpets.

Night.
x



  • Sex with my dad

    Sometimes, wishes do come true...

  • i really wanted to be a mermaid.

    i used to have dreams that my house was filled with water and i could swim about in it.

    you know in kids films when they say 'if you wish REALLY hard, your wish will come true'? well i wished REALLY REALLY hard for about two weeks and i never became a mermaid :'(

    • :(

      i did this, usualy about being able to fly/having magical powers. Once i dreamed that i zapped Sam Thorne with my magical red people that could turn into animals. My animal was an Oystercatcher, they have red eyes, yo

      • in between 'red' and 'people'

        it should go something like this

        "eyes, because i was one of those"

        not sure how i missed that.

  • the knowledge

    that one day i'd be participating in exciting and fresh discussion on an internet message board.

    • bit fucking idealistic

      should've gone for the magic carpet

  • i wanted

    a sherman tank. :)

    • Barbie dolls

      instead of Cindy.
      A soda-stream.
      More to do during loooong school holidays.

      • oh and also

        to be heard. Wasn't it infuriating as a kid that your opinions weren't 'taken seriously'? Ha - silly in hindsite, but bloody frustrating when you don't understand!

      • yeah barbie> sindy

        • barbie had nicer clothes :-\

          i'll get over it.. one day

          • i always

            felt sorry for my sindy dolls. :(

  • i just wanted

    the mr frosty ice maker thing. alas we were always too poor for such frivolities

    • I got it for Christmas when

      I was about 10. I had wished for it for sooooo long. It was so difficult as a kid to try and grind ice with a little plastic handle. It broke after about 6 uses so I just ate the powder flavour sachets on their own.

    • ME TOO!

      I never got one though. But then my university friends bought me a Party Penguin to make up for it.

  • The ability to stop time

    some things never change

    • Yeah, like Bernard's watch?

      I thought that was amazing. He'd just click his watch and everything around him would stop. All the time in the world to play.

      • pretty much

        though my intention as a kid was to use it to fight evil. These days I'd probably just use it for evil

        • Does evil count if it occurs

          in a 'time void'? Would it not really be like it never happened? I suppose this would depend on the repercussions. If your evil has lasting consequences then it would count. What did you have in mind?

          • Moving people into funny positions

            shaking beer cans just as people are opening them. Removing fillings from peoples sandwiches just as they're about to eat to make them thing they've gone mad

            • Being comically evil

              is more acceptable than just plain evil. I think I'd enjoy being comically evil, lets go find this Bernard kid and steal his watch!

              • Deal

                but we have to be very sneeky. If he see's us coming god knows what he may do.

                • True

                  he might move us into funny positions!

  • World Peace

    and of course not to fall out of a tree and an un-ending supply of insects, slugs, young leaves, flowers, shoots, and the occasional egg or nestling ...

  • I always wished that

    I wouls somehow get forgotten and locked in Toys R Us overnight. I thought that Geoffrey and friends would come out and play and I'd have my pick of toys!

    • To rescue a girl from bully boys

      and drive her to safty in my go-kart.

      • ah yes, Safty really is nice in the summertime

        • If it was the winter and there was snow

          then it would have to be all about a big hill and a tray.

      • If only you'd been around when I was 5

        *sigh*

  • All I wanted was

    a scalextric and an afro. I got neither :'(

  • a snes.

    i wanted one for years and years and years. then my brother bought one. YES.

  • i always wanted a guitar, but i never got one

    and i've hated my parents ever since for ruining my chances of a career as a rock god. I could have been James Blunt by now.

    • but then you'd be hated

      so it all worked out for the best

      • but i'd be rich

        and strangley attractive to weak willed women.

        • you don't want week willed women

          • or weak willed ones either

  • i wanted a normal family

    and to not be poor all the time.

  • I wanted

    my father to stop beating my mother.

    But in a less depressing manner, i also wanted a puppy. I got one and then my mum sold it when i went to school. :(

    • did she sell it for booze money?

      • I think she got booze money

        when she pawned all of her engagement and wedding rings..

        • you're like a Movie Of The Week

          :D

          • I like to think I'm more like

            a really bad yet addictive soap opera.

            She sold my dads old car to buy christmas presents for her next husbands family. That sort of thing is what soaps are MADE of.

  • I wanted to be able to use the force pretty badly.

    Man. I concentrated on that cup for hours.

  • I really wanted a broken leg

    • I actually wanted this too!

      Wheelchairs/crutches looked so fun.

      I got my wish last year, and it seems wheelchairs are only fun when you don't NEED them.

  • 1) A daddy

    2) A friend
    3) A dog
    4) A garden to play in

    • 5) A home that wasnt sependant on someone elses grace and favour

      6) A grandad
      7) A nice grandma that I could see (where my mum and grandma didnt hate each other more than anyone else in the world, and where I didnt grow up with intense feelings of guilt because I loved both my mum and Gran and felt I was betraying one ot the other, by these feelings)

  • pomegranites

    Hogwarts attendance
    flat hair
    those cardboard trees which you dip in a solution and crystals grow
    the ability to clone, my friend and I left a finger nail and an eyelash in some angel delight ( for there was no jelly) to no avail.

    • we put up signs

      under the stairs where we 'worked' saying 'WARNING! CLONEING PROGRESSING!'

      • Scalelectric

        if thats how you spell it.

        Every Xmas it was on my list but appartently, our house is too small to fit on in.

    • you've made me feel so old

      by saying you wanted Hogwarts attendance when you were a kid

      • I'd still like it

        my friend claimed she slept with her hand on her window-sill to catch the letter from Hogwarts when it came.

        • Material stuff eh?

          OK
          A train set
          A bike
          A SMLE (short Magazine Lee Enfield)
          In retrospect I want a mermaid

          • non-material stuff eh?

            OK
            My parents to get on and argue more privately

            • for tiny tears and tiny tim to grow up with me...

              and I would have also loved to go to disneyland but I am 21 now and have never been...I also hate children so am unlikely to ever get to go.

              Unless they shut it to everyone but me and a few select others of my choice.

  • .

    When I was your age, I wanted an electric football game more than anything in the world. And my parents bought it for me, and it was the happiest day of my life.

  • hmph

    i wanted pocahontas' long black hair.
    its all i ever wanted.
    when i got it i got bored after a few weeks and cut it all off!
    LOL im so ungrateful. took me ages to grow it though.

  • to fly

    to be a mermaid
    to grow up and be a famous actress
    to be a ballerina
    to marry leo
    to be peter pan

  • i used to imagine

    the spice girls sneaking into my house and touching me up.

    i was young at the time and i didn't quite know what this meant. it felt nice though.

  • I wanted

    herpes.

    Seriously, all my friends had cold sores and I felt really left out.

    • you = wierd

      • It's alright

        I've been mysteriously cured of my desire for a cold sore, ever since I opened a secondary school biology textbook.

  • ...

    AIDS now i've got it!
