when i was little i thought i could fly down the stairs? i have full on 'memories' of gently floating down to the bottom. i never flew anywhere else, it was just down the stairs, felt like my own little secret


Me and my older sister would take turns running from the hallway into my mums room and jumping on her bed. One day, I was feeling sneaky. So I stood behind the door when it was her turn, and as she ran I pushed the door into her face. Needless to say she doesn't trust me around doors anymore.


When I was a little child I loved watching all the wacky tv shows that the kids channel would only show at like five in the morning. One morning I was sat on my floor and whilst waiting for my show to start I threw the remote in the air and caught it. My older sister used to throw things and see how many times she could clap before she caught it. She could normally get in what I thought was a lot of claps but was probably only three or four. I thought, hey, maybe I could do that too. So I threw the remote in the air, clapped twice, didn’t catch the remote and absolutely screeched when the remote smacked me in the face. I had a bruised cheek for weeks.

A few years later I was sat on my sofa. I asked my mum to throw the remote to me. She did. I, being the idiot that I am, didn’t even try to catch it. Just sat and watched in horror as this remote flew at me and hit me in the eye. I had a black eye for a while after that, too.


I used to go to a catholic school, and when my brother started going with me we would be out at recess and I would pretend to levitate and throw him everywhere x)


I used to do the crying window thing on the school bus every morning that it rained...you'd think someone would've asked me if something was wrong? No one ever did. Lmao😂


I had to get my tonsils out and I was high on the meds they gave me and I was like “mommy sing to me” and during surgery the surgeons were singing to me


I was obsessed with fire too and would melt things when no one was watching,  I still have a scar in my arm from when I tried to melt a balloon and it just fell on my skin lol


i would love a tutorial for the groovy bun


when i was a kid i use to pretend that any source of light was actually magical fairies and only i could see them and talk to them. I spent many of my days staring at lights and whispering things to them ... kinda creepy now that i think about it :/


One time when I was like 12 my best friend was at my house for a sleepover, and we decided that we were going to stay up super late playing barbies. So we waited until my parents went to bed, and when we thought they were asleep, we pulled out our barbies and were whispering and playing away. I was sitting with my back to the door of my room and my friend was facing it, and suddenly she looks up and gets this really scared look on her face so I slowly turn around, barbies in hand, to see my dad standing over us frowning. He was so mad at us, and we felt like <b>such</b> rebels for staying up past midnight playing barbies. We laugh about it now.

One time in year 1 my brother, in year 3, shouted out in front of our entire primary school ‘Amanda’s in love with John!!!’ and that guy never spoke to me after that


this video reminded me of a bunch of stuff from when I was younger so ima just make a list

okay so I LOVED (who am I kidding love) the x-men and superheroes and was also convinced that I was one but just didn't know, but I think I also thought my parents knew and just weren't telling me so I used to go through the receipts in my dads wallet hoping to find a note about me having powers and stuff that was fun

I also listed to abba spusificly just all of mama mia over and over again, it was the first Broadway musical I ever saw and I just remember being so enchanted by it, to this day thank you for the music is one of my favorite songs, it just makes me feel all the things and all the other songs can put me in a good mood no matter what

I was a fuken monkey bar master! At my elementary/middle school we had a playground and the coolest thing to do was to sit on top or jump from the platform and catch onto the third bar and I was always too scared to do that. BUT I could skip bars and spin while I went across and stuff, I would also jump over the ending platform/bar thing and onto the ground I thought I was so cool


Hahah obsessed with fire hey? 🤔 No wonder you and Hannah (hellohannahsnow) get along so well 😂 if anyone is confused I’m referring to Hannah’s comments about fire in her diy Cindy Lou who vid. Which I recommend, it’s so cute


When I was 8 I wrote a letter to my parents with an entire plea about why I was grown up enough to walk to home alone from my after school club(BSO)  so I could go home earlier. <br>on those wonderful walks home I played a game where I imagined that I was abandont when I was a baby and was now on a trilling journey to find my real parents and I'd narrated it in my head as like a book. And when I finally reached my home (10 min walk I was dramatic) I would pretend that everything felt so familiar and that it was an incredible journey

Oh if you want another broken nose story, I was playing on some bars and thought I was going really high (I wasn’t) and I showed my friend but I flew off the bars instead and landed face first on the ground. I’d only been at that school for a month...and we had school pictures the next day. My year 5 photo looks great 👌😂


i’m so excited for this ep yall don’t even know


I’m so on edge about the new ep I’m so excited


I think this just shows the truly amazing imagination that dodie has.

(Ignore my name my friend changed it as a joke and YouTube won't let me change it)


I GIGGLED SO MUCH and I used to have a thing for incense and I too somehow developed this into setting tissues on fire and then small plastic objects oh god I had forgotten. Pure would just go home and burn things like a wee psycho x


I wanted to be more at one with life in year 5 so I meditated in the middle of the football pitch whilst people were playing. My friend then got fed up and aimed the ball at my head whilst the others were cheering which by the way was very rude. Anyway The ball got bullseye and I got a concussion.


that first story,, i can’t stop laughing


Glad I wasn’t the only child who had the ‘I’m the only kid with super powers and I have to save everyone’ fantasy

Oh and I had a toy Dyson (yes they were a thing) and I would “vacuum” everywhere CONVINCED I was helping


Sadly I don't really remember much from my childhood, but I once apparently smacked my cousin in the head with a tape recorder, repeatedly. I must have been like 3 or 4 at the time and my parents died laughing when they told me


I had the fire phase. It all ended when I had a candle in a glass jar and I put a tissue in it. It burnt. Then I put some paper in it. Then it burnt. And then I put more random burnable stuff in. The candle was on my windowsill and it got hotter bc of all the stuff I was burning. The glass jar shattered everywhere and umm yeah I stopped playing with fire


When I was little I would set my parents chairs up at the end of the staircase and I would blast my music and put on a performance for them. I danced and sang... I was awful at it. Me and My sister used to pretend that my bed was a pool. We would get in our bathroom and change into our swim suits. We would get on my bed and jump “into the water” and “swim”. We literally would do that for hours! Around the same time we played that my parents closet was an elevator. We locked ourselves in the closet and the door got stuck. So we yelled until my dad heard us, it took him like half an hour to get the door open 😂


Dodie is me procrastinating in any situation


STORYTIME! I used to imagine an alternative universe just outside my car window whenever we were listening to the radio whilst driving. It looked just like the road did, the only difference was that there were people dancing EVERYWHERE. There were people dancing on the street lights, and groups of dancers on each car. It kind of looked like the final shot of 'Another Day Of Sun' from La La Land. And the dancers' outfits changed to match the song that was playing, and the dancestyle changed too. Sometimes it was hip hop, sometimes it was ballet. Sometimes the dancers told a story, for example a love story between two dancers on two different cars who couldn't reach each other. Sometimes there was a chase going on, so the dancers were jumping from car to car trying to get away from something dangerous behind them. Whenever I put myself inside of that universe, I was always the main character (of course - we're all narcissists), but I didn't look like mE. I, too, changed to fit the theme of the song and the story I told in my own head. I could entertain myself like that for hours, gOd, I miss being a kid.


One time I set 40 ladybirds loose in my cloakroom and we had to have in quarantined. Then I cried coz someone told me the RSPCA was going to arrest me coz I'm a ladybird killer.

Also me and my sister used to put laundry baskets over our upper bodies and have duels by running at each other at full speed then falling down then try be the first to get up so you could crush the other. However since our arms were stuck in the baskets we ended up just rolling around like salt shakers with legs.


when I was little I invented all the games my little brother and I would play, and they usually revolved around me being a queen and him bringing me gifts lol but one time when I was about 6 I made up a game where one of us would be blindfolded and the other would bring a random object and the blindfolded one had to figure out what it was by feel. I wanted this game to have a name and I had heard the word “suicide” in a movie...had no idea what it meant but thought it sounded exciting 😬 so that’s what we called the game and imagine my poor mother one day when she heard us say “let’s go play suicide!”


me and my brother used  to do the same thing with my parent's bed! except we would do it with hangers.. no idea why but we thought we were so helpful.


Some people enjoy ASMR. I enjoy Dodie’s accent.


Lmao, I lowkey used to be a pyromaniac as a kid as well. I only stopped playing with matches when I almost set my nan's bathroom on fire 🙂


When I was little I used to play alone in the playground too, id pretend I was the doctor from doctor who and I was going on an adventure, one of the teachers literally stoped me once and said why don't you play with the other kids and I said no I'm happy like this, this is what i want to do


as someone who is currently studying child psychology and childhood studies, this was actually genuinely really interesting 😂 love little insights like this, all your experiences make you who you are and i loveeee it all


Me and my sister's used to play a game where we took turns  taking all the blankets in the house and wraping up mummy style, and we would  pile all our teddy bears and pillows on top, then we'd sit on top of the person. And whoever could get out of that the fastest won.


So I remember listening to this Italian song when I was like 5 or 6 and there is a line that goes sorta "I'll come back only if you come back too". It was a love song but my young mind could only imagine it in a sorta of hide and seek scenario. I've been wondering for hours how the singer would know if the other person was back to the starting point if he wasn't already there too 😂😂😂

Also talking about food, my boyfriend's parents tried to make him eat some animal's brain when he was younger eewww


my mum said I was a really independent child and wanted to do everything myself so one day I told her I wanted to dress myself. My mum was so proud because I was only 3 and I had put on this cute little dress. We went to Woolworths later on that day, my mum was looking at clothes and turned around to find me looking in the full length mirror, in the middle of a busy shop, pulling my dress over my head and that’s when she realised letting 3 year old me dress myself was a bad idea because I wasn’t wearing any knickers


when i was a lil child i stayed with my aunt one time. i took a shower. lil reese had never taken a shower, only baths. therefore, i yelled at the shower head, "RAIN! I'M JUST A LITTLE GIRL!" and i cried.


I’ve been waiting for the new EP for some time😩


When I was in 1st class (i was like 7) I created this game which was to tie up the older kids (eldest being 12 some maybe 13) with the skipping ropes. They didn’t have handles r anything they were just long ropes. More ppl were doing it everyday until the game was banned when my sister (who was in 4th class maybe, so like 9-10 ish) was tied up, fell over and got a black eye. And I still to this day blame myself, cause I came up with the game, and feel terrible about it! 8 YRS ON THIS YR


On the last younger dodie video I wrote about how I used to think all fish were flying fish, so I thought I should share another story. So I was super sheltered when I was little, and because of that, I didn't know that some things were considered bad. That being said...one day before school when I was around 9 or 10, I found a dirty magazine in my dad's study. However, to my little sheltered mind, it wasn't 'dirty', it was just pretty ladies in a book...so I brought it to school to show people....some older boys saw me with it and begged to have it and even offered to pay me...I couldn't figure out why it was such a big deal, but I said okay and gave it to them...and that's how I became a dirty magazine seller in the 6th grade (I got in trouble the next day after someone told a teacher about it)


You’re like a little boble head when you talk, it’s cute


me as a child: (songified)
♪ i'm in the corner, eating a tissue, ohhhhhhhh ♪
(or reading like the loner i was)


Weird, I also did the "pretend you're in a music video and cry while looking out the window", I mean I still do which is even weirder. Probs the reason why I've been so unsuccessful when it came to making friends.


When I was 3, I stuck an end piece of a sausage up my nose one evening, but my mum didn’t find out until the next evening because I couldn’t breathe properly and I had to be taken to A&E to be put under anaesthetic to have it removed :)


Me and a friend in Primary used to play "Steve Irwin" together, so basically he'd be Steve and I'd be his wife and we used to pretend we were riding motorbikes in the playground and saving animals. We were in year 2 and learning about zoos and jungles and we both watched The Crocodile Hunter soooo that's where this game was made up from :'D AND MAN this video had me grinning and giggling all the way through it<3


So one night my little sister and her best friend were having a sleepover, and they put me in charge of 'babysitting' (because I was literally only 2 years older than them. I think they were 9 or 10 and I was 11 or 12.)
We started feeling a bit like 'ooh no adults let's be BAD' so we made a shitton of cookie dough. Like so much. Way too much. And after 2 bites each we were just all like 'k i don't want this anymore'.
But then my sister's friend was super paranoid that if we just threw it out in the kitchen, her parents would see it and then get really mad. My sister and I suggested throwing it out in the big garbage in the garage, but she was paranoid that they would see it there, too.
So that's how we ended up spending the evening wandering around our neighbourhood with a garbage bag full of cookie dough trying to find somewhere to throw it out. Oh, to be 12.


The story at 5:00 is one you talked about with Tessa!!!!!!


this video made me a bit sad. i miss being a kid. things were so simple. there were no bad days. only boring ones. i miss being carefree. i miss when my biggest problem was whether or not my schoolyard crush liked me back. i wish i could go back and shake myself and tell her to savor it. because those were the best days of her life. it's like one day, a switch is flipped, and you're no longer a kid anymore. and you have real responsibilities, and real problems. and you start feeling things differently. things that you never even could have thought about before keep you up at night. i miss waking up every day, not having a purpose, and it not mattering. i miss living in the moment as a kid. i miss when you get so involved in a game in your imagination, that you forget who and where you are. i guess that's why i'm an actor, i'm chasing that feeling again. but anyway, i've just been obsessing over the past recently. i've been going through photo albums in my mind from past months every single day. and this video got me thinking about all this a lot. the goal is to live like a kid again. but it's so hard when i know that i have to learn to say goodbye. goodbye to the past. goodbye to memories. goodbye to childhood. and goodbye to so many of my friends as they start to graduate.... woah. i just wrote a lot. i guess something about this video, even though it's just stories from your childhood, really resonated with who i am right now, and the things that have been on my mind. i guess this just needed to escape me. can't wait for the new EP!


My heart isn’t going to be able to take this album


I had an imaginary donkey called Magical when I was growing up. That is all.


Ahahahha. I cracked up at the first story


I DID THE MOVIE THING
I'd mouth the lyrics to songs and then squeeze out tears. Or if I was in my bedroom, I would turn on a man and let my hair blow and be all dramamatic.
Heh.
I would also run round my grandmother's and pretend to be in a first person shooter and pick up look like a video game character.


When I was about seven, I'd be home from school a couple hours earlier than my mom. We lived above our grandparents, so they would make my lunch and watch me. Then I'd go upstairs and make my homework until my mom came home. Now one day, I didn't have homework and wanted to do something nice for my mom, so I decided to "cook" her a salad. I didn't really now how that works and long story short, I put a plastic bowl on our stove and melted the entire bottom off. Since then I'm a bit terrified of cooking.


I used to pretend I was a king and use a chess board to plan attacks on my enemies but no matter the size of my army I would lead the charge and fight people off with my magic knives and magic powers


You know you could have just used saline solution or water for the crying scene in 6 out of 10. You didn't have to traumatize yourself.


I’ve only ever stolen one thing in my life.<br>My mom is a teacher, and in kindergarten I went to the school she taught at, so I would go to her room when the school day was over. She would frequently go and talk to the teacher next door, and most times I’d go with her. The teacher’s room smelled incredible, and after a few visits I realized it was the wax that she had in her wax melter. And I swear to god, every time we went in there from there on, I would “sneakily” scrape some wax off the top of the wax melter and put it in an empty lip balm container so that I could smell it later (I was really fuckin’ weird okay). I remember trying to be sneaky at the time but looking back on it there’s no way that this teacher couldn’t have seen her coworker’s weird daughter stealing her wax.

When I was a kid I used to watch a police show on TV with my father... And for some reason I liked the villains more than the heroes... And I always wanted to become a drogdealer when I become a big girl... And when I had to talk about what do we want to be at school... I said that I wanted to be a drogdealer... Well... The next thing I knew... My mom was talking to the principal and the concealer in my school...x'D


(You asked)
I used to pretend I was an orphan wizard when I couldn't sleep and kept a wooden stick under my pillow (it's still there)
I also used to marry my friends in the playground like we'd have rings and bridesmaids and everything and like we never realised it was weird and here I am bisexual as ever
I had a weird obsession with fairies so I would make little houses for them but then they stoPPed ComIng so I made a massive sign telling them I had put so much effort into this fairy swimming pool and when I was ten the 'fairy' left me a note telling me I was too old and I cried for six fucking hours
Once my friend was coming back from holidays so my friends and I spent two hours pushing a massive log up the hill to where our new clubhouse was gonna be because the log was the best seat and we wanted to welcome her home
And the almighty revenge story that I call The Shit Show
There's a girl who lives across the road from me and her family is just odd. They've had their house windows mirrored so they can see themselves walking down the driveway and they can look out at us without us knowing. But the girl who lived there used to play with my friends and I but she was pretty nasty and we just stopped. One day however I get this idea out of nowhere that we needed revenge. I had taken my uncle's dog on a walk a week previous and he had taken a shit on the top of the hill. I had for some reason memorised where and collected it in a pile of leaves. I sent my friend to her house and she dropped it on my neighbour's doorstep while I watched from behind a hedge. Then one of my friends freaked out. She started saying that she was going to get me in trouble with the police and I fREAKED OUT. So I ran home and go into the kitchen crying and tell my parents I've put poo on the neighbour's doorstep and I'm going to hell. I cleaned up the poo and gave a letter of apology and my parents tried to apologise too but they were laughing too much so our neighbours haven't really talked to us since. I see that as a good thing though because they never had anything nice to say!!
Karma got me though because the anxiety made me violently ill that night and since then I have not spoken to the girl.
I swear I was a nice kid I honestly don't know what possessed me


I got your BOOK for Christmas and honestly,u dont need anything else in life like literally buy her book


when i was 5 or 6 years old my sister put salt in my ice cream and obviously that made me very angry so i started screaming at my brother and sister saying “WHAT THE FUCK IS IN MY ICECREAM” i had a bit of a potty mouth but then my dad got home a couple minutes later and i told on both of them. i was such an annoying little child.


The intro!!! (I love the brows video lol)


So many YouTubers today over-complicate the kind of content they put on their channel. It’s filled with insane editing, the fanciest kind of technology, click-baited titles, fake personalities, etc. But Dodie has the best kind of content: simple, real, genuine, and organic. It’s so personal and you feel a real connection to her, and can’t help but to fall in love with her. You feel like you’re good friends, sitting down for a good chat. You finish watching her videos feeling uplifted and happy. There needs to be more people like Dodie in the world. She is such an inspiration to me ❤


I preordered the vinyl a few weeks ago 😇😇


Me and my sisters played a game called "rock". One person would curl up in a ball and lay a blanket them over themselves on the floor. The other person would stand on top of this "rock" and make a speech about how smart they were or something. Then without warning the "rock" would sway from side to side in attempt to catch them off guard and get them to fall rather than just stumble. The fact we didn't get serious injuries from this is astonishing


So you know how a lot of kids write on the walls when they are little? I never did that. Instead, I would lift the bedsheet on my bed and use CRAYONS to scrape designs into the cloth. At this age, we didn't have money for a large enough apartment so my mother shared the bed with me and once,  she caught me drawing when she woke up. She literally screamed when she saw how many drawings had amounted on the mattress. I don't think we ever got a new one though, lmao.


Oml thank you so much i just remembered my buildabears in my cupboard that i haven't seen for y e a r s


your hair is a mess but it is also so cute and I love it


I should make one  of these of my own facts. But in the meantime here's one. I watched a lot of action shows as a kid and sometimes when to poop, I was constipated. SO, I would make up a scenario like a police stand off or I'm a spy escaping the bad guys and I had to get rid of the evidence quickly to make myself poop. Worked for a few years. I never told my parents about the imaginary spy/ police stand off. Another one is where I faked like I drowned in the pool in the backyard. My sis and I were great swimmers so my mom never believed it. It panicked the dog, though. Then there was watching soft core porn after my parents went to sleep, pre-internet days. That was exciting for a 12 year old.


my brother and I made up a game called "get mars" and I had to shine a flashlight and he would try to touch the light but I would move it around it was pretty fun tbh


So like I was told there this defence move of pushing under the nose like there could actually kill some one... Cause it could push the bridge of the nose into the brain of your attacker... Is that true?


that is so fucking crazy I used to imagine the exact same magical powers situation like down the same detail u described what the fuck


in kindergarten my friend and i would pull our hands up through our sleeves and we would flop them around and pretend we were fairies :’) why floppy sleeves meant fairies idk but we had a good time


When you said at the end of the video "like I said at the beginning" I thought you were going to talk about washing your private parts, as in "like I said at the beginning I wash my private parts" which- good for you, rinsing them with water is good, but it was sort of a moment of is this goblin Dodie oversharing or is this normal human level sharing?


I seem to remember us all pretending to be lion king characters in the playground and running around on all fours and licking each other (ew)


I used to clip clothing pegs to the back of my shirt and pretend i was a dinosaur.🐊


Is it bad that I'm 14 in 4 months and still pretend I'm in hogwarts and shoot "spells" and go around in a cloak......yes a frigging cloak

I guess I'm really afraid to grow up or something but I dunno


As a kid, I used to wear odd crocs. As in one blue, one yellow. By choice. Take from that what you will.


wait oh my gosh, I got weirdly excited by the fact that your grandpa is polish lol, where is he from?


Yeah CHICAGO THE MUSICAL! It never gets old🌟


how haven’t i heard that dodie has a brother until now i thought it was only hedy


wait, you're supposed to remember your childhood? well shit.


omg i feel so sad that you didn't get to finish your bear the fact that you'd already MADE the WISH. it's just so heartbreaking


I grew up in the (American) south and I was the definition of a tomboy. My cousin and I would ride our bikes all day and play in a little creek that goes through my yard. One day when I was like six or seven, we were playing in the creek and I saw this bug thing swim right next to my foot. Well being the little adventure girl that I was, I tried to catch it. I spent like a solid five minutes trying to find this little bug thing while my cousin just stood there confused. When I finally caught it, it. was. on. I chased my poor cousin down the street with the “tiny lobster”.

Also one time I found a worm under a brick and when my mom found me playing with it, she screamed and informed me that it wasn’t a worm and it was definitely a snake.

OMG the video game thing in play parks, I so did that. I pretended to be Jen from Primal (ps2 game)


I have done the car music video thing. And I have have my playground area be my house. And I have had magical make believes (still do o.o). I liked fire too (still do o.o) but I never played with it because I was afraid to mess up and I don't openly say it because well people would see me crazy. O.O

You are the most beautiful bean, and all of us here are so excited for Human! ♥


The editing is so smooth! Absolutely loved your vid!


I relate to so many of these? I’m convinced we all lived the same childhood lol


So great watching you on this channel again


It’s so strange, I’ve always thought of you being a teenager.  Idk, you’ve just always given me teenager vibes (but wiser, or course!) and when you started talking of building your bear, it just reminded me how adult you were, it was the strangest feeling: like nostalgia that didn’t belong to me.  Idk.

Anyways, love you Dodes💛

"I liked to play alone in the playground, or maybe I had no friends."

- my whole childhood


When I was in kindy(so six years old), me and my friends would create a fairy garden with rocks, rubbish, and leaves around this one tree.<br>It’s very gross once I ponder it, however, the joy of thinking that I was helping the fairies inside of the tree is enough.

It's been so long since I preordered the EP I can't believe it's finally happening

DODIE I am SO excited for the EP you have no idea I have been waiting forever just release it now pls

Love you lots <3


ALRIGHT SO YOU'RE MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER AND I'M DEFINITELY IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR EP AND I'LL BE WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM AND I'M COMING TO YOUR DALLAS PERFORMANCE!!!!!


your midnight feast story reminds me of my sister and I playing legos really late at night and my dad opening the door looking angry, but then he smiled and closed the door again


Aha i just came here from your old song 'permanent hug from you'and it made me feel great. I love seeing how far you've made it


when i was younger me and my best friend to this day used to go on trip to Disney land in primary school during lunch, and we used to make a car and go on roller coasters and stay in the hotels there it was the best thing ever also love you lots <3


Glad to hear I wasn't the only child that willingly played by themselves on the playground! I was also a video game character... the best damn pokemon trainer there ever was!


When I was little, I used to collect rocks (my house isn't far from a dormant volcano so there are lots of rocks around). I'd stick them in this hole in the corner of the garden. It wasn't until high school that we discovered that the hole was actually part of the sewage system when the pipe burst. The people who came to fix it were like "what's with all these rocks???" and I was just like "oh shit"


I thought this day couldnt get better and you uploaded THANK U UNIVERSE


dodie you're the purest and most adorable person that exists. pls don't stop. ilysm


omg you’re the most adorable person in existence


CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN COLOGNE🤗🎉 YOU ARE JUST SO LOVELY💕


These are so fun to hear!

When I was a kid, I 100% believed that I was famous. I grew up watching iCarly and tons of youtube videos, so my friend and I decided to create our own web show (it was called The Sara and Madison Show) where we basically did little weird skits and answered "fan calls" (aka my sister on the other side of the landline). And every time I would go out I'd see every car or every passerby and assume they were fans who were just kinda following me like paparazzi. The funny thing is, I never posted any of these videos anywhere so like idk why I thought I had fans but....


this all reminds me when I was in elementary school I was climbing up a slide on the playground and I thought it would be cool as hell to jump over the side of the slide and I didn’t know my friend was standing RIGHT WHERE I JUMPED and I landed right on top of her oh my god


omg these are so cute
here's my childhood story (quite traumatic):
so at my primary school, we had a pull up bar at our playground thing (i have no idea why).
i was with my friend at recess time and she wanted to do flips on the pull up bar (the girls used the pull up bar like a gymnastics bar thing) and she asked me to help her get up.
so i (hesitantly) agreed.
i grabbed her foot (as she instructed me to do) and pushed her up.
i then let go.
i thought she had a grip on the bar!! but she didn't, and she fell and hit her tooth.
it chipped a chunk of the tooth off.
and of course she started crying, and i was scared.
and my dumb ass asked her if she was crying because it hurt or if she was crying because she was scared and stunned.
so i took her to the teacher and explained what happened (shaking the whole time because i didn't want to get in trouble) and she had to go home early.
then i started crying because i thought she was going to die from chipping her tooth.
tldr: i chipped my best friends tooth and then cried because i thought she was going to die


i did the SAME thing in the car looking out the window! i would listen to a sad song on purpose (usually Demi Lovatos 'Did You Forget') and imagine that i was in the music video for that song! I've never met anyone else who did this! that's so funny! I love you endlessly Dodie xoxo


when she randomly sings n stacks harmonies it's cute. that's all.


Haha I totally get the melancholic rainy car ride at night... Totally me 😂👍


i feel like i've heard a couple of these stories before. were they in your last one?


I'm so excited for the ep!!!!!!aaahh ♥♥♥


when I was younger I used to go down into my cellar and take old ice-cream tubs fill them with water, soap, alcohol, leaves, mud, stones, flowers and woodshavings, then put it back into the freezer to freeze


When i was little i used to stick my head while my dad was showering but only my head and I'd close the door the rest of the way so that i could talk to him while he showered. Ended up being a lot of pictures that just looked like I was decapitated.


Ur little bun is so cute and iconic ahhh!!! 💖💕💖💕


"I'm just washing my areas MA'AM" -dodie 2019


"I'm just washing my areas Ma'am" omfg I'm dying😂😂


dodie! i was just gonna sleep 😂🙃 oh well id much rather watch you than sleep (gosh that sounds creepy)


'Go forth, make a bear' legit me ANYTIME I walk past Build a Bear


so im a few minutes into the video and i realise im in the exact same tie-your-onesie-around-your-waist get-up as dodie is around 3:30


When i was a kid in the car i'd pretend there was people walking along side the car, they were imaginary friends and people i made up in my head but they had little back stories and lives i invented for them. One had a skateboard they skated on and i had a crush on him and there were some animals as well. Looking back on this it's probably a bit sad i i sound like a crazy person lol

this video made me laugh though  <3   thanks


when i was younger i used to have a bob and fringe (and im brunette) so whenever i was around my two older brothers they would call me coconut head, this lasted for a good three years


you're literally a cinnamon roll I love you OH AND ALSO TICKETS FOR THE SHOW IN POLAND ARE SOLD OUT AND I'M CRYING MY EYES OUT ok bye


When I was little I thought that when I went to sleep my dreams were really me being a fairy and I even built my fairy self a house.


I was spilling the tea on your new album when I found out none of my friends listen to you. Let’s just say I don’t have anymore friends.

Snevillus Snape just show her music to them, they will probably love it


At the end of my garden we had this huge tree and so no grass would grow and we (my brother and random friends) would make mud pies and we would also make them into different 'foods' and then my dad built us a 'den' which we thought was the coolest thing ever and once tried to make bread and cook it with a candle and we thought we were so naughty lmao I also had a pond (bucket of water with tadpoles in) and one time it was all sparkly from something idk what and I convinced myself it was fairies in the water so I drank it and then got really ill lmao


Omg I broke my nose too!!! #twinning I did it by running nose-first into the forehead of one of the girl in my class whilst playing tag lmao my nose got sooo swollen


I used to listen to Abba a lot too, but instead of "super trooper" I thought it was "sudefed ludefed" so that's what I would sing in the car at the top of my lungs:)


my brother once convinced me to pretend i was going camping at my own house so i thought it would be a good idea to go to my backyard and go to the bathroom, except i didn't pee :)


When i was younger, because my name is star, i used to pretend that  i had a best friend up in the sky called twinkle and i said to people that i went up to the sky and did all these things up their ,, also i tried to convince people i went up their by saying thats why you dont see me at night, bc i was up with the other stars lmao


My siblings and I had a thing with fire too. We lit a tissue on fire which fell onto a chair which fell onto the floor...


I’m excited for the tour sksksks<br>Hope to see you in Chicago 💕

I’m excited for the tour sksksks
Hope to see you in Chicago 💕


i am reminded of my barely bi-ness when i see dodie


i used to ‘iron’ my mum’s bedsheets too, but one day i tried to actually ‘do it properly’ and got a load of water and just chucked it on the bed and the sheets she had just changed got soaked


Me and dodie did the same thing on the playground

I had no friends smiling though the pain

Me and dodie did the same thing on the playground

I had no friends *smiling though the pain*


fuck, this made me feel weird I don't think I have that many specific memories from my childhood idk


when i was a kid i would have packed lunches every day for school then school dinners on a friday but out of sheer awkwardness (i have literally no idea why i did this) i would lie every friday saying i'd forgotten my lunch. then long story story short my teacher told my mum that i kept losing it and my mum was like wtf and i wanted to die


I am also obsessed with fire- I’m not allowed to have candles in my room


When I was younger, I thought spaghetti junction was a lie made up by my dad


love the bun also HOLY FRICK HUMAN EP COMING OUT ON THE 18TH  I AM BUZZING


My cousin is a vegan.  When I was about 9, my aunt her died and my cousins and sisters and I were eating sandwiches, and my cousin was making a new one, but there wasn't a knife at the table.  So my cousin gets up to get one, and her brother goes, "Why do you need a knife?  God gave you hands." and my cousin, being the rebellious teenager she was, said "God didn't give me anything."  This was when my little brain kicked in and started tuning into the coneversation.  My cousin had said something, so I decided that was a good time to shout "She's a vegan!" at the top of my lungs for no discernable reason.  To this day, my sisters will not let me forget it.


When I was little my mum told me and my brother not to touch the video player thing (we were going through the phase of sticking our fingers in everything) because if we did it while the film was playing we would be sucked into the universe in the film but it backfired bc I had a huge crush on daphne in the old scooby doo movies so I stuck my hand in it all the time bc I wanted to save daphne from the bad guys idk I just remembered it the other day and i thought it was really funny


When i was like 8 we were learning about air flow and stuff and we had to make like a hand drier and do the science behind it, and I didn’t do that cause I was a creative and when asked Laura you have to explain what it does I said when you’re drying your hands it plays Waterloo by ABBA


i love how the first bit is the same as the bit from when u did the brows video


I’m waiting for an actual child psychologist to analyze this in the comments 🧸


I did that MTV cribs thing as well i’m crying so hard


I was once knocked out by a toilet door when I was like 5 and my nose has been crooked ever since lol


I did the video game one too. And the window one, but instead of a music video I'd pretend I was in a coming of age movie and I was on the bus to a new city


For some reason as a kid i would compulsively cut my nails all the way down until they were bleeding. Finally, my mum found out and the had to hide all of the nail clippers. I still have no memory of that till this day. However, now i never cut my nails.


As a kid I would eat lotion and I'm pretty sure that's why I'm so weird now lol


Me and my brother played a game called Steam roller where one of us rolled on my mum's bed and the other had to jump over them. We also played one called travelling caravan where one of us was a caravan and the other was a car, and the car had to tow the caravan and then like nothing else happened? Good


Yay! Another person obsessed with fire! I'm not the only pyromaniac!


How did you make your hair look so cute???


One time I just opened the car door on a roundabout lol


I’m glad I’m not the only person who played alone as a kid lol. Here are the games I used to play (or the ones I can remember)
- In my primary school there were pigeons. Everywhere. In the hallways, in the playgrounds, everywhere. So I used to pretend I was like a National Geographic narrator and I would narrate the pigeons' live. I had a "TV talk show host" voice and everything. I even had a pretend microphone. It was so fun, for me at least. For the other kids it must have been very strange, seeing a girl chasing around pigeons and talking alone. Lol.
- I used to pretend I was a superhero, and there was a playground were there was like a ladder that for me was really high, so I used to climb on it and pretend to be guarding the city

- (This one is not about pretend games but it’s still very funny so I’ll share it anyways), there was a boy in my class everyone liked, and he would always pick on me, he’d take my pencil case and throw it around the class and hide it from me. One day, I was just so angry at him and so sick of him making fun of me, so I took his pencil case (which was like a plastic box), looked at him directly in the eye, and just threw it into the wall. All the pencils flew all over the classroom. It was the best day of my life


THE WASHING YOUR AREA STORY I CANT BREATEHHEDH


Wow 200 comments within 2 minutes dodes you've grown so muchhhh

I broke my nose twice because I crossed my arms is whenever I fell so I face planted the floor. Don’t do this on concrete


I ALREADY KNEW ONE OF THESE STORIES WHY DO I ALREADY KNOW ONE OF THESE STORIES


So, I was like 6 or something and had just moved schools but there was only a few kids I knew and their parents had a golf cart. Well their son who was probably 10 or something told me to lay down on the ground. I did because six year old me wasn't thinking AND HE BLOODY RAN ME OVER. LIKE FULL ON DROVE THE GOLF CART OVER ME. I had the outline of a tire on me for a few days after that. So kids, don't let someone drive over you with a golf cart.


I am still a kid that likes to set things on fire


yup, welcome to Poland<br>but you know, pierogi are good so

yup, welcome to Poland

SAME, jakoś tak się podekscytowalam azXDD


Hey my family is Polish too!! Woah!! (I’m American but obviously Dziennik is a very Polish name haha)

As far as childhood stories, I really liked to play imaginary games. And when I was in summer camp (ages 6-12), this was PRIME imaginary game time. I had two best friends, and I would play games with them every day. And my camp was super cool and we went on field trips every week to parks, water parks, museums, etc, so what better time to play imaginary games? We’d pretend we were on a bus ride to a camp like Percy Jackson, or like we were mermaids at a water park, or we’d be royalty at big playgrounds and the whole place was our castle. It was awesome. Honestly miss it so much...thank you for reminding me of it, Dodie.


I love you and hope i can see you in Chicago

You are. The cutest. Fucking. Human being. Ever.


DODIE. This is weird because I, too, listened to Money Money Money by ABBA religiously at a young age (My mom was an ABBA fanatic not kidding). My sister and I had this game called Teenagers where we would... you know... act like teenagers. And over the years, we created this crazy plot line where we were discovered in a grocery store, and suddenly we were teen superstars with the world's biggest fan base. We would lip sync along to ABBA songs for literal hours and pretend we were preforming a concert. It was amazing. P.S. the poof is so cute okay bye


imma b dumb here but when dodie said her grandpa was polish my ears perked up cause i thought mayb she has a lil jewish in her


Just celebrated my 18th birthday and every thing about today was shit ... even the cake was shit , any support would be appreciated ...


I don’t mean to be a kill joy but if you hit someone in the nose (as dodie explained) their nose bone will impale their brain and kill them. Whoops.

Listen Snap-Crackle-Pop!! No one cares!! PLEASE LEAVE THE INTERNET!!


Nah but seriously I relate to the playing on your own thing, I remember when I was like seven, the Incredibles had just come out and I would pretend to be Dash and try to run as fast as I could around the whole playground and try to get faster each time, I was so committed to this game that I would refuse to hang out with my other friends in the playground

That was about the last time I ever took exercising seriously..... 2004......


I youst to sing i will survive in nursery and I youst to sing in the  playground by myself if I was sad like a musical


I don't understand the bun 😩😩😩😩 I want to like the back of the head bun but I can't 😩😩😩😩


I got the dumbest tiktok ad before this and it ruined everything


I did the weirdest shit as a kid. So before bed when I couldn’t fall asleep, I would pretend that I was in the hospital wing at hogwarts. I had just made a great save in quidditch and I was knocked out by a bludger. So what’s weird about it, is I imagined. That. Harry. FUCKING. POTTER. was in love with me! And he was watching oVER ME TO WAKE ME UP!! Like WHAT THE HELL. I DID THIS ALL THE TIME. I also liked to make pancake batter at home and when nobody was there. And I would eat bread toasted with icing.

omg this is gooooalllls yes delicious fantasy


Did you call people rapists when you were little
