When I was 3 or 4 I bit a bar of soap my grandma had in the kitchen thinking it was cheese. Also when I was 3 or 4 I brushed my teeth with soap because I couldn't find the toothpaste. Oh and I ate a whole blister of contraceptives around that age too and my parents had to take me to the hospital.

I'm sure I did more stuff like that around that age, I was fucking stupid and I don't think I got much better when I grew up.

At least you're somewhat self aware? But even smart people do stupid shit.
