I used to do this as a kid.

It was a sad day when I broke the frame and realized I was now too big to do it.

Reminds me of when I was a kid I used to do a kick turn (run jump kick off the wall) at the end of the hallway into my room. One day my leg went through the wall. That's how I knew I was too big to bounce off the walls anymore.

[–]elliothtz 17 points18 points ago*

We used to watch too much wrestling when we were kids. When I was about 10, my best friend suplexed me onto my bed. I bounced forward and my head went straight through the wall in my room. I covered it up with a poster for years, until the day my uncle came to repaint the room when I had left for college.

My mom freaked out but I told her the statute of limitations on punishment had expired. She told me I was grounded anyway.

*Edit: grammar derp.

always did the spread eagle shuffle up either side of the frame. less stress, no ripping of boards off.

[–]bazzage 6 points7 points ago

I used to do that. One day my dad saw me, laughed his ass off, and said, "honey, look, the kid taught himself how to chimney!"

Chimneying is a rock-climbing technique.

[–]Stormshark 5 points6 points ago

I kept doing it until it was no fun anymore. at 6'4", I can't climb it more than 4" before bonking my head.

[–]skeener 2 points3 points ago

Same for me. Also a sad day because I broke the frame and pissed off my parents.

If you're going to rip off a video to make a shitty gif, at least credit the original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/fswz9/candy_challange/ and video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gbnp0rVlQ

I usually don't care much if video is converted into a gif, but I am annoyed by the weird made-up editorializing. Like the point of that video was to show how this dad trained his kids to climb; that was novel; this is a "LOL, kid has sugar and is being weird.. isnt that crazy!!??" vibe to it.

[–]jmiles540 17 points18 points ago

And we all know sugar does not contribute to hyperactivity.

Apparently 21 more milligrams per 12 onces than Coca-cola! (coffe has about 200).

[–]gamer_4_life -2 points-1 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was hyperactive as a kid. Sugar was the power that let me climb the tallest tree and kick soccer balls clear down the block. Candy was my cocaine and I'll never forget the rush it gave me.

Edit - I never said that my hyperactivity was caused by sugar. It's interesting to see just how crappy people's reading comprehension is these days. lol

You're probably right, you and Jenny McCarthy. Your anecdotal evidence as a parent is probably way more accurate and unbiased than some peer reviewed double blind study.

I'm not a parent. And you shouldn't believe everything you read.

[–]jmiles540 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't believe everything I read. But I put a lot more stock in things when they're peer reviewed. The one I linked to was in the Journal of the American Medical Association, an organization and publication that I have every reason to trust.

[–]Mel___Gibson 0 points1 point ago

All that says is that kids react the same to sugar as sugar substitutes.

[–]jmiles540 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the placebo is usually just a sugar pill.

[–]Mel___Gibson 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Studies were required to (1) intervene by having the subjects consume a known quantity of sugar; (2) use a placebo (artificial sweetener) condition; (3) blind the subjects, parents, and research staff to the conditions; and (4) report statistics that could be used to compute the dependent measures effect sizes.

Unless I missed your joke.

[–]jmiles540 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I was kidding, because in medical studies, they typically use a sugar pill, or so I've been told...

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points ago

This is why kids' hands and feet are always sticky from some kind of spill or mess - so they can climb walls.

Climbing when you're a kid is awesome. My mom used to hide cookies in above the cabinets. Never stopped me when I wanted one. Climb onto the counter, open the cabinet, climb up that, acquire cookies.

[–]baelwulf 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My parents hid cookies from me once in the high cupboards. I tied a large ornamental candy cane from our christmas decorations to a string and chucked it up there to try and get them down. Cleaned off the entire shelf.

They learned their lesson.

[–]frankyb89 4 points5 points ago

In true youngest sibling style, I got my older siblings blamed for my actions. I was like a cookie ninja. No one knew it was me till years later :D

I still climb on the counter. I'm too short to reach anything -.-

[–]Faustyna 0 points1 point ago

Yup. I'm 21 and a little over five feet. Kneeling on the counter helps me get things down sometimes.

My 3 year old does this. Can you check with your parents on how they dealt with you? :)

[–]bazzage 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Once had a neighbor whose kid climbed up on the kitchen counters by pushing a chair over to them for that first step up. When the dad was home doing the solo babysitter thing, he would tie all the chairs together in the middle of the next room.

[–]frankyb89 0 points1 point ago

They didn't deal with me. Like I said, I was a ninja. I got my older siblings blamed for the missing cookies and no one knew it was me till years later :P.

Thats a fuckin spider?

[–]mrekted 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oddly, no, it's a sucker.

But I thought the same thing, and re-watched it 3 times to confirm my suspicions before I saw the original and was (thankfully) proven wrong. It sure as hell looks like a spider, and it even looks like it jerks away when the kid touches it. I was thinking that this was a psychotic, wall scaling, giant spider grabbing kid with far larger testicles at 5 than I have at 30.

Illusions are fun.
