Clever kid

Kids are clever. One of my friends was just telling us about a girl who had learnt to walk perfectly by twelve months. One month later her younger brother was born, and suddenly she was no longer the centre of attention. Noticing that her brother couldn’t move around on his own and was always being carried by her parents, she decided to stop walking. After a couple of days her parents began carrying her again as well. She didn’t resume walking for another five months.

What’s the funniest/smartest thing you did as a kid? When I was little and we had guests at home that I really liked, I used to hide their shoes so they couldn’t leave. It was endearing for a while, but sooner or later people got pretty darned frustrated.
