I did the same thing with the bedsheets though 😁


when you mentioned build-a- bear i suddenly got the temptation to rip open my bears to get the heart out hshsjs


I once got some talcum powder and went "IT'S SNOWING!!!!"<br>And you know the prince of egypt movie where the mother puts her baby on a raft and sends him into the river. Yeah i would do that with a pretend baby and a laundry basket on my mom's blue bedroom floor. We had a class imaginary friend called "bob" and people would put their hands on seat saying "sorry, I'm saving this for bob" I wouldn't give a damn and just crush the hell out their hand as I sat on it. I was a mean kid wow. I would also run really REALLY R E A L L Y long distances and almost pass out not realising "Hey this is really unhealthy"

At the age of like 5 or something I was standing on a very small brick wall running along side a path, I stepped off and this girl stuck her leg out and tripped me and I fell face first onto the opposite brick wall. I remember a teacher shouting at me and saying it was my fault while blood was pouring from my face which I think is slightly harsh. But hey, I got to go home for the day so it’s chill.


I was on a trampoline with my twin brother, and I go doubled bounced and flew all the way above him, and came down as he bounced up and mashed my mouth on his head, I chipped my two front adult teeth, one was pretty much ALL gone ahahaha, he was perfectly fine. My mum said 'For fuck SAKE" and it makes me laugh so much. ❤❤


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..

I would say “anyone else?” But I feel like most ppl have a story like: “I was stupid and someone got hurt because of my stupidity and I still feel bad because of it” lol

But feel free to share ur stories!


I totally forgot this was during the time she was making the hidden song videos and the “attack” caught me so off guard


When I was small I would dance in the rain. And " drop off the mail " to my mum.


when i was little i thought that if you chewed up bread and spat it out you could cook it again and make more bread


When I was in elementary school I was speed-walking back to class in front of my two friends, but I had turned a bit to face them and talk, but while I was walking and talking, they didn't tell me that I was about to slam into a wall. I turned my head to face forward, and the second I turned I smashed my face full force into a brick wall and fell SO HARD on my ass. I had a black eye for weeks. My mom still makes fun of me for it and its been like 12 years lol [edit: human comes out the day after my birthday and I'm EXCITED]


I also used to stare out the window and pretend I was in a music video, and I used to think the magic hero thing as well! I thought i was the only one haha. There’s definitely some Physcology behind that...


I do find it weird how similar some of our experiences are growing up before phones were completely mainstream? Or ones that worked anyway? Like where did we all get our culture from if not the internet? Like the whole lol wuu2 btb gtg culture. Also those glow in the dark stars and planets were my JAM.


My childhood game.

Every piece of furniture in your whole home has lazers running along the floor that are extending from the corners. The lines are running along each straight face and extend until the edges of the room. Use your imagination, and get to the other side of the room without touching a lazer


I used to play games like those all the time when I was little!


I LOVE THE STORY ABOUT THE MIDNIGHT FEAST


when i was in my primary school i used to pretend i was like a superhero and i had to jump through the window to save my friends from the fire and i'd get so much praise theyd all be like ''THANK YOU EVAN'' and ''YOU'RE AMAZING!11!!'' so i guess i just needed a lot of praise as a kid


I DID THE "PLAY AROUND AND HAVE A BALL" THING TOO. What a weird and random thing to have in common 😂


I love hearing people that I watch say they practiced karate!


the superpower one is me as a child (and now i still do it every day lol)


Am I the only one who didn't know she had a brother? I've been following her for years how did this happen?!


There were this guys in the street who always passed by with their musical instruments like the marimba, and they played some songs so you would give them some money. I have always been in love with music, so I really enjoyed seeing them play, one time I was so into the music that I decided to follow them to every single place they went and dance along and sing a little bit and just have fun, I used to do that every time i saw them passing by my house so my mom had to follow them too so she could be sure that nothing bad was going to happened, these guys were so happy to see me that they started to play some songs in front of my house everyday so I could go out and dance with them. They took care of me everytime I followed them and they even showed me how to play the instruments, the entire town thought that I was part of that band and they loved it, it was reaaaaaally cool. I was like 4 years old.


I'm shook you're the cutest damn human I've ever seen


I wasn’t sure if I was bi before but now.... I love her so much


I was such a weird child I have a cringe attack every day, here's just one of the MINOR stupid things I did.

I'm from Cape Town, South Africa- a mixed race kiddo, referred to as 'coloured' over here. (and no it's not a derogatory term here)
Between grades one to three (ages 7-9) I'd been to three different primary schools. Grade three was when I moved to a completely different space- more diverse, more luxurious than the previous two. I thought I'd need to step my game up.

My 9 year old self got it into her head.

That it'd be a good idea to convince everyone.

That I'm Chinese.

I tried convincing the friends I'd somehow managed to make (bless them for tolerating my bullshit) for WEEKS maybe even months, bloody faking being able to speak Mandarin. My ridiculous lie came to an end when my friends came to ask my grandpa picking my dumbass up from aftercare if I was Chinese. His confused "...wait what?" was an answer on its own.

I think I got this stupid idea from Camp Rock


I loved female superheroes and super villains when I was a kid. Catwoman and Poison Ivey were my faves (also Rogue from X-Men). I would try to dress like them and do cartwheels outside my apartment in the parking lot


One time, i was running from my mom, and i had made my way into the kitchen. My brother had oh so conveniently sprayed water on the floor. I had slipped and fell on my face and had a black eye for a while. I wore sunglasses everywhere, because if i didn't, strangers would mention it.


thanks dodie. today has been the absolute worst thing ive ever experienced and seeing a post from you and reading all the lovely comments cheered me up a bit. thanks everyone. you all truly have a wonderful impact on the world :)


When she did the punch my nose literally flinched


it’s so weird because I actually used to play games very similar when I was little

My little sister and I used to play “Cinderella” together when we had to clean our room but I always (like the good big sister I am) let my sister be Cinderella which meant that I was the step mom or a step sister and I didn’t do any work but commanded her to clean things. She just remembered this a few months ago and I still find it funny


Do you have a video showing your tattoos? I’m pretty interested in their meanings and stuff (if they do have meaning)


When i was a kid i used to believe i had asleep telekinesis powers or something and practiced every night before going to bed. I used to try to move the door and sometimes the door moved and i was like YES I AM BECOMING MATHILDA


Some lil me memories:
-having dreams about flying around my home town and having people be like “woah!” Like “wow quick chase her!”  And fly away hehe
-messing around on the money bars like I was cool and all
-My primary school had a road across it and the cars would drive by, at school zone speed and we would try to beat the cars. If we lost then we had to duck down so they wouldn’t shoot us
-Dressing up in nice clothes and having little tea parties hehe
-calling out to my brother who lived across the country and hoping he’d hear my name
-playing fairies with my friends and making fairy gardens so the fairies would like us and give us gifts


Someone should animate this. The whole thing.


When I was around 10 the family was having breakfast and we had been having boiled eggs. I had finished eating but I wanted more so my mum says "Go boil another egg for yourself". I head to the kitchen and stand in front of the stove. After a minute or two I had done nothing as I had no idea how to boil an egg. I went back to the table and asked with absolute sincerity "Where's the boil button?" It is still referenced to this day.


When I was younger my cousin and I would change our names when we went to the playground. We never used our real names. I always went to the name Elena.


my older sister and i came up with this weird game when we were little. my mom used to have a ceiling light right above her bed with like a little metal spiky thing coming out from the middle. my sister and i would get on her bed and pretend missiles or some shit were coming out of it (we used our fingers to represent the missiles) and we had to get out of the way before they hit us...
sometimes one of us would die.
it was very dramatic.


My cousin and I used to jump up and down the sofa for hours believing that we have locked magical flying abilities


one time my sister took one of those little pig pop sockets and stuck it on her forehead for a minute. when she took it off, there was a phat red circle that looked like a huge hickey in the middle of her forehead. the next week of school was torture for her.


when i was a kid i loveeeddd fire too. and once i saw my dad lick his fingers and put out the flame and i thought it was the coolest thing ever. then one day I tried it and burned my hand. lol. then i freaked out and spilled the candle over and made a piece of paper that was next to it on fire but then i through the paper in the sink and it was like nothing happened. 👏


You look so prettttyyyyy<br>Also you are a mega inspiration so thank you for doing what you do

You look so prettttyyyyy
Also you are a mega inspiration so thank you for doing what you do


We would fall onto sofas and beds all the time. It scared the shit outta our parents but it’s apparently rly good bc it makes u slightly fearless :)


You should consider trying that particular crab manoeuvre at one of your concerts. Think of the publicity it would generate!


The magical defender fantasy is so real, that was me all the time in elementary school, and giving people a tour of my house which was the playground


The ironing story killed me omg that's the kind of pointless thing that would have entertained me as a child


When I was younger (about 9-11) and couldn't sleep, my dad and I would invent jobs for all the different animals. (Mice are train drivers and rabbits are ninjas. Don't ask why.)


You are killing me with that bun lol. 😂 I am dead ⚰.


I used to eat chapstick! my mum had to confiscate it from me all the time and i would try my hardest to "be a big girl" and just put it on my lips, but i never could, and i would take a bite against my better judgement. Then i would look in horror at what i had done and quickly put the cap back on. i would always conclude to hide it so my mum wouldn't find out, and somehow they always ended up under my mattress in my room. It never occurred to me that my mum might lift the mattress and find my stash of bitten chapstick, and i don't know that she ever did. Thank god. anyways sorry I'm kind rambling but you asked what weird stuff i used to do and this is the weirdest haha


when me and my brother were little my parents had a giant, tall bed (for a 5-7 year old) and we would climb up the bed and start to wrestle and the winner (person who didn’t fall or cry) would get the best shaped pancake and the first cup of tea


I love your hair. Could you do like a little tiny hair tutorial on the hairstyle you’ve been wearing


This is so funny XD i relate tbh i was a strange strange child


Around four years old, my mama took me to the mall for the first time. She took me and my little bub to build a bear
And I got this beautiful little pink kitty
Afterwards, my step dad was watching me while she took him to the restroom
And this little girl ran away from her mom
Screaming “kitty!”
Tackled me
And took my pink cat.
Her mom gave it back to me
But I had scratches down my face and arms for days :))


I always had the same superpower daydreaming omg I don't feel alone anymore, the roof would like nearly fall over my crush and I'd stop it and float and shit, blue lights coming out of my hands and then I would faint


When I was little we would visit my aunt who had the sweetest dog named Lady, (rip) and I Loved to play with Lady, she was my favorite dog. One time I was allowed to give her a treat and she decided to lay down to eat the treat. For some reason I wanted to sit on her while she was eating the treat, she did not like that. So as I sit down, she sort of turns around to growl, bare her teeth and half stand up in warning, unfortunately this sent me off balance and I fell into her fang tooth and got a minor cut on my face. Being a little child, I begin to wail, and Lady goes to hide under the house in shame. My mom and aunt went and got me cleaned up and told me to apologize to Lady, so (still crying) I go up to Lady and say “I’m sorry you’re not a couch,” through my tears. I was the dumbest child ever, and I still have a scar on my cheek from that.


i used to play with fire the hole time. weed go to this tatched cottage every sunday when i was young and the fireplace was essentially an open space on the floor with a wall behind it and a hole above it. i used to pull straw out of the roof or the broom (it was one of those traditional witches brooms) to burn and sometimes, sometimes id invent little stories with twigs as characters. and when a character died guess where they went. i was like six


When you talked about a monster being outside your school room, I immediately thought of shark boy and lava girl


wait omg i was a literal pyromaniac as a kid too 😂 my parents would light candles in the bathroom and we’d often have fluffy toilet seat covers so i would get toilet paper, light a piece on fire then light the seat cover on fire. It was such a bad idea especially as a clumsy person, i’d quickly throw the tissue paper into the toilet and splash water onto the seat cover. I was so dumb lol 😂


there's a particular set of stairs in my house that my tiny little toddler legs could not get over for whatever reason, so from the ages of 2 to about 5 i would trip over the same,,, god damn,, set of stairs,, and cry about it every single time lmao


is this more little dodie facts
or more little dodie facts haha

edit: nevermind i got my answer lol

is this more *little dodie* facts
or *more little* dodie facts haha

edit: nevermind i got my answer lol


I was also a very weird child and have 2 cousins who are 10 years younger than me so they’re going through their weird child phase. I also work as a mentor at an elementary school and get to interact with many a weird child ( ages 6-12 so quite a range of bizarreness there). And on top of THAT I work at a child development lab at my uni.

Needless to say, I am absolutely fascinated by child development, growing up and what the actual heck goes on in kids brains.
I dream of being a teacher one day, but that’s not gonna being back the magic of actually being the weird child. Thanks for making me smile with this video <3

( also the EP is amazing!!)


Its funny, as a kid I was also really strong and could do all the tricks on playground... and now I don’t understand how that was even possible xD


my older brother pronounced “tornado” as “tomato” so I used to think tornadoes meant that it would rain tomatoes and huge tomatoes would roll down my street


When I was little, I used to pretend to be a giraffe in our backyard after school every day. I actually ate so many of the leaves off of one of our trees that it dies and my mom had to call the exterminator to put pesticide on our whole yard. I never told her.


Dodie you are really amazing ❤ you inspired me so much to keep trying, to get out of my comfort zone and start posting my own videos! Thank you so much 🍓I've just uploaded a cover of would you be so kind and I would  love some support/feedback. You mean everything to me!


I would imagine people riding horses that would run alongside the car and fly over obstacles


one time not too long ago i was home alone and i decided that i wanted to light a tissue on fire. well all was well until it burned up all the way and i dropped it instinctively. the burning tissue proceeded to melt my carpet and it had a big black spot. i tried to hide it with the ottoman but of course my mother found it. i will never admit it to my parents.


I still do the car thing<br>Idk if anyone else had this obsession with a specific time period but When I was younger I had an obsession with the Victorian era .

Watching this while waiting for your ep which comes out in 2 MINS!!!! Aaaaa


At my school we had a game called Pepsi Cola. (I don’t know if other schools had this)
It was when we were on a quite flat hill in our field. One person would have to go to the top of the hill whilst everyone else stood at the bottom. The person at the top would then have to shout :

I am a Rockstar (you could change rockstar out for anything you wanted)

Then everyone at the bottom of the hill would shout:

Oh no your not!
You must be joking!
1 2 3
A B C
Under over, Pepsi cola!

And then when you shouted Pepsi Cola you had to do a handstand on the hill and the person at the top would pick the person who did the best handstand and then they would get a go at the top.

My school was really weird 😂

@vintage jilly ahhh that brings back memories!! i think it was: pepsi, pepsi cola, nora, nora sissi (what the hell is nora??) and then the task!

vintage jilly it was pretty cool. We even sometimes convinced some of the teachers to join in 😂

Emma Abel yes we did the exact same! I’d forgotten about that oml

Emma Abel <br>I don’t even think we wore shorts under our dresses when we did the handstands, when your a kid you just don’t care 😂 everyone else who I have mentioned that game to has no idea what I am on about

Emma Abel
I don’t even think we wore shorts under our dresses when we did the handstands, when your a kid you just don’t care 😂 everyone else who I have mentioned that game to has no idea what I am on about

We did that! The song was a little different but in the summer we would all bring shorts for under our summer dresses and we loved it!!


Omg I watched 13 going on 30 for the first time the other day, it's terrible but would make such a good hangover film


I drew on our car with a rock and we had to drive it around with my drawings on it for a few months


I don’t know what it is but when she talks it’s sound so melodic. It just sounds so similar to her singing voice. I bloody love it


The first like 7 seconds were so cuuuute


Only dodie would make a full on song for an intro to one singular video


My sister and I had a game called 'Leaf and Bug' where one of us was the leaf, and the other was the bug... the bug would have to move from one side of the room to the other without getting caught. The leaf had to spin on all fours with a blanket on their back, held in each of their hands, when they felt the bug (and this is a VERY small room, and we'd move very fast lol) they would stretch their arms wide and throw themselves (and the blanket) over whoever was the bug to catch them.
This game resulted in a LOT of injuries because the room would have been like... 2 and a bit meters wide and like 3 meters long? Barely enough room for the bunk beds and desk we had in there... I'm surprised we never ended up properly hurt. I mean, we did a lot but just not from this particular game.
Maybe I'll make a video response to this where I talk about all the crazy stuff we did as kids hahaha.


5:25
The first time I broke my nose, I fell over, and faceplanted the kitchen floor. I don't know how though coz I was sitting on the floor to start with. 😂


When I was a toddler I used to see black silhouettes that I called 'strange dolls' because they looked like those wooden Ikea dolls. They were always standing in the same spots in the house. A friend of mine who was 2, maybe 3 around this time, pointed at the exact same spots I always said the strange dolls were in. There was also a time when they apparently started moving toward me and my mum which really scared me. I started pointing at something mid-air and said something like 'he's taking the pills' and 'NO pills' at some point (my mum was taking these really rubbish pills for her headaches). So yeah, I was one of those children.


i used to think if i touched fire id die straight away so whenever we went out to restaurants or anything and there was a candle on the table id always blow it out lol


One time I locked my brother into a shed and he had to break the glass to get out, he still has a scar from the broken glass


I went to a build a bear as an adult because i would never have been able to do something fun as a kid. i picked a basic bear, got it stuffed as cheap as i could(it was so small and basic) and then chose nothing extra. the workers thought i was sad or just didnt understand the purpose of the shop. it was both. it was a lot of reasons. i didnt believe in my creativity. i didnt believe i was smart enough to know how to put the clothes and stuff on my bear. i just wanted something to cuddle with because no one would for real(ha ha!). putting clothes on a bear distracts me from it being real. it takes away from the feel of it being a stuffed animal. i just really wanted and needed a friend. i still do. i havent been back again yet.


I did something similar to your magical powers thing. When I was bored in class, I would imagine a disaster happened, and I would have to reveal to my friends that I had awesome powers, and we had to run, because monsters were chasing us,  and my friends had powers too, they just didn’t know it yet, and I had to help them unlock them. And we would steal a bus and drive away, being chased by some monsters or demons or something.


ARMS UNFOLDING. 8:05 you can not tell me that when she says trust that she is not singing also at 8:10 when she says you


I once slapped my older brother when i was a couple of months old, because he stole my doll. 😂


One time when I was around 8, me and my family were alll talking, and my sister, who was 23(I know), farted. Which was funny, and I took it upon myself to use the language around me. I turned my head towards her and say, "Jamie, you smell like shit." I got in no trouble whatsoever.

When I was like, 6, my sister loved to film me(she still does) and I remember her asking me questions like, who is Johnny Depp? Or, Who sang Toxic? But the one i remember the most is: Who is Beyonce? I knew she was a singer, but since I was so young, I didn't know genres, and just blurted out: An opera singer!
It's still on YouTube today.


Me and my best friends would play out on the street, we played this game where we were secret agents and had to do missions and our "spy boss" was my friends cat. We would make our missions things like, "we have to locate twenty stones and deliver them to the pond of destiny in the next twenty minutes otherwise the world will explode" and stuff like that. Once we decided our mission was to get to the library and back without being seen my anyone we knew (I grew up in a tiny village). The library was LITERALLY around the corner from our road and we thought we were the most badass nine year olds on the planet by going somehwere without telling our parents.


OML i just remembered this imaginary game i used to play in like grade 4 when i got bored and i'd imagine this stuff like green salt spewing out of all the walls, then turning into green dust, then liquid, then goo, then jelly, and finally it'd turn to concrete as it flooded the world and i was the only one who survived


When I was little I didn't talk to any of my 5 siblings and just thought they were weird people Living in my house and I didn't know my dad was my dad til I was 8.👍👍👌


when i was a smol child i used to put a film on repeat and act out as one of the characters during the whole film eVERYNIGHT and whenever my dad came in the room or my mum is frantically run back to the sofa just all red in the face trying to act like i wasn't pretending to be woody from toy story :)))


you should start selling "fire tissues" again with your merc. I'd buy one


My mum has a DVD of all of ABBA's music videos and I LOVED MONEY MONEY MONEY TOO. Didn't pick up on the ball thing though... Also my nana used to cook ox tongue every christmas so I think it might just be an old people thing ha


love how the subtitles have american translations for me and all the other not brits


that intro made me so flipping happy because i afore the brow video so much idk why i just do


i have almost no memories from my childhood, which makes me sad

but one that i always remember cause it was so funny is that i always had dogs, and like, too many dogs, more than 5 or so
and my parents always loved german shepherds, we still do (we have like 6 german shepherds and 3 labs). anyways, one day, when i was like 10, i was waiting in front of my house for someone to pick me up to take me for my piano class and i forgot my glasses inside but i didnt want to get in to take it cause i had closed the front gate (we have a big yard so i had to cross all of that only to take my glasses and i was a lazy child so i just left the way it was.)
and then i see it. a HUGE dog coming in my direction from far away. and he was running like a fucking horse. i looked at that and was like "and here is where i die, thanks mom, thanks dad, i swear i tried to be good". the dog was still far away, and i had already accepted my destiny. as he came near,  i started to see clearer and who was it??????
it was my FUCKING GERMAN SHEPHERD. MY OWN FUCKING DOG BUT I LITERALLY COULDNT SEE HIM FROM FAR AWAY CAUSE I HAD NO GLASSES. I WAS TERRIFIED OF HIM AND I HAD ALREADY ACCEPTED THAT THAT WAS MY END
and then he stopped right in front of me and just stood there like "oh hi hi human, i just went for a walk without you even knowing and now im back can you please open the gate thanks im hungry"

i swear, i thought i was gonna die that day. but now i look back and laugh at my own stupidity


Omg I also got hit in the face with a rounders ball! And we also visited a Hindu temple in year 6 😂😂


i spent the entirety of year one believing that david tennant was my dad


When I was little I used to pretend I was a toy from toy story. I’d pretend I was talking to my other toy friends and when ever my mam or someone would walk by I’d pretend I was an inanimate object and wouldn’t talk or move at all.

Also I used to have an imagery horse called shidder (idk if that’s even a name) that I rid everywhere.


13 going on 30 is THE BEST feel good movie!! I still love watching that!!!


i love how musically you say things... your voice is just so pretty agahshwba

who the FUCK ate my half of the croissant


I had an obsession with bald people when I was younger. So if there was a man on the street or on the cover of a book, I would straight up yell “HE’S BALD!!!!!!”


This made me feel so weird and happy and weird and just ... omg ... except for the bear, the Hindu temple, the name Frankie(replaced in my case with sth from my country) I DID THE SAME! The mental games, the car, the midnight feast with neighbor mum giving us more food! To the last detail!  I never shared this! Omg! You made me feel so normal 😭😭 understood! Just ... okay!  😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Am i the only one that doesn't want to watch the vids when they come out, to save them all for when im sad?


Omg I was a super weird kid so I have thousands of stories but the most extreme one was probably when me and my little sister (2 years younger than me) got a bag of those frog shaped haribos from my grandma and obviously, that inspired my stupid kid brain to go into frog-mode and jump down the stairs. They were pretty small to me but to my sister they were like... impossible so of course she landed on her head and got a concussion and had to go to the hospital for what seemed like MONTHS but was probably only 2 days. Of course the guilt was killing me throughout and I wanna say that I treated her like a queen from then on but that would be a lie 😂


if you didn't have a childhood fantasy of being a magical child then 👏 WAS 👏 YOUR 👏 CHILDHOOD 👏 EVEN 👏 REAL 👏

i'd fantasize about being taken away to be experimented on, or about waking up with no memories and magical powers. does that mean anything? idk man


I must have been around 6 when the teletubbies came on tv <br>As soon as the theme song came my cousin and I danced so hard that I fell and head butted the corner of the sofa, forever leaving a scar in my right eyebrow

THIS IS THE BEST THING TO COME HOME TO FROM SCHOOL


I DID THE WINDOW THING TOO, THATS AWESOME


When I was in primary school there was this giant tree in the woods on the field and we called it the rocket tree but it had this branch coming out of it and stuff and it made it look (in our minds) like the tardis so naturally me and all the other nerdy kids made that our tree and we reinacted episodes of doctor who endlessly but one day this boy forgot his sonic screw driver so we had to improvise and thus came the invention of the “super sonic crunchie bar”

Also at this tree there was some drama, the boy who always played the doctor was my boyfriend for the whole of primary and then suddenly there were two girls on the scene and I remember I confronted him about it like an episode of eastenders and there were tears and saying we had betrayed one another but I won the boy back which was a huge victory because one of the girls had kissed my crush on the play ground the year before the day after I gave him an A3 3D valentines card which I made


when me and my bff were smol little beans, we would pretend that we were wolves.  Like, we would go to my grandma's backyard and howl really quietly, and we had a pack that was just the two of us (we're not furries btw)
another weird thing is that me and my friends would play a game that we had magic powers, and i specifically remember being a shapeshifting dog (or cat idk) and we were trying to save our realm from our friend's mother, bc my friend was previously evil but she turned good, and her mother was evil and hated her or smthing like that
we were weird kids (still are tbh)

edit: oh and i also remember there was this game called 'survivor' and we would go to the playground and pretend that we were stranded on out an island and we would hide out under the slide, and that was our base (i say this like i actually played the game more than once, but there was this girl that invented it and she wouldn't let me play)
and last year all the year 7 and 8s from my class would go out to the playground at take 5 (we weren't allowed in the playground any other time bc there are 5 year olds there and we were 'too dangerous') and we'd play 'busted' which is actually a fun game, it's like playground tag, but instead in busted, if you touch the floor and someone catches you, they yell out 'BUSTED!" and you're in.  it's almost exactly like playground tag, just with that added on


I also took karate lessons as a kid. I got two green belt by the age of five which I feel like is really weird


Love ya and hope you have a great day you are loved


My mum would actually love the bed thing


lmao i used to play with fire too until one day i was filling a tea light candle with match ends or something and the whole thing caught ablaze and even cracked the glass candle holder and charred the table oooooof


I just bought my tickets for tour yesterday and i’m fucking pumped! See you in Amsterdam!!!


When I was younger me and my twin broke out of the house but the back gate which is locked and has to locks on it and we ended up in a neighbors front yard (we were like 4)


when i was around 10 or 11 i was playing tag with my friend (now girlfriend) and i accidentally tripped on her middle finger and broke her middle finger on my armpit. so that was fun.


I had a very traumatic childhood. I found it very hard too fall asleep at night... and somehow I misunderstood the concept of the sandman... I would tell myself every single night that I had like 10 seconds to fall asleep because the sandman floated over everyone’s houses and it would be my turn in 10 seconds... and if sandman floated by and saw I wasn’t asleep he would come down and kill me... <br>For some reason I also thought he had these goats... and that if my eyes were still open when they all came by, the goats would literally sting out my eyes before the sandman would kill me... so I would just lay down, every night... and pretend sleep until I actually fell asleep because I was convinced if I didn’t do this, I would die.

When I was little I used to blow up those blue gloves from the doctor's office and my sister told me that there is dust inside that kills bacteria and if you breath it in your die. And I panicked for hours and I said my goodbyes to my family when my parents go home. My sister laughing her ass off in the back


We had a long corridor in my house but it was tiled and I used to steal my brothers skateboard and would just sit on it and like drag my legs on the floor so I would skoot and go back and forth on the floor for HOURS and wouldn't scream but just go "aaahh" and because it was tiled it sounded weird and I was so entertained


When I was little, like probably 1st grade, me and my friend always at after school would sit and make like this fake game off of a white board with different worlds and bosses. off a white board. I can't imagine being entertained by that now. It probably sparked my interest in drawing though,,


so two years ago we went camping on a school field trip. It was the beginning of freshman year (I was like 13 or 14) and It was an... INTERESTING trip to say the least. The idea of it was to closer with our classmates and teachers, which I think I unfortunately exceeded in. The first night I went to change in one of the 2 bathroom stalls provided for half the girls in our grade (plus teachers) and someone left their bra on the toilet. There it stayed the entire weekend, until on the last day while we packed up, one of the teachers held it up yelling "Ok who's is it?" and one of the OTHER teachers who's in her fifties came up and was like "OH that my... My uh....... Bra............." If you think THAT is too close for comfort just you wait. There was this one exercise where my group was standing on a log and the goal was to rearrange the order that we were standing on the log to our birthdays, not only without getting off of the log, but without talking. If we did either of those things we had to restart. So me (A short girl) and this really tall guy were really committed and came up with the idea of him stepping over me.... he lost his balance a little but I thought he had succeeded and so I tried to stand up a bit and yeah.... I think you can imagine what happened. I don't know if not being able to speak was a blessing or a curse in that situation. We couldn't comment on it but I would hate to know what we would've said given the chance.


i need dodie and phil to do a collab on why they were weird kids


3:44 is this a weird thing? haha i would have dreams like this and once i saved everyone the guy i had a crush on in elementary school would kiss me (funny i'm gay now) if i saved the school and it was the weirdest thing ever


i got quite excited about the fact that you have polish roots!! <br>ironically, i'm going to london on the day of your concert in warsaw eghh

i got quite excited about the fact that you have polish roots!!
ironically, i'm going to london on the day of your concert in warsaw eghh


omG i did all these weird things as a child. my primary school had a giant field on the back of it to play in and i used to run around like a horse or play w my brothers friends, who made up complex games based on video games. it was weird.


Okay okay I was also a weird fire kid, and when I was about 13 I learned to never do that stuff again. Because one day I was learning what a piece of grass did when you lit it on fire, but my stepdad had just been doing some yard work or something and there was gasoline (or another flammable liquid, idk what) on the ground. That caught fire. I remember freaking out and yelling at my brother to get a liquid or something and I was stomping on it trying not to accidentally burn down the entire world. He brought me a glass of milk and I threw it on the fire and then walked away like nothing happened.


what an absolute cutie pie hhhhhhh 💞💗💘💕👼


When I was like 7 I thought sex meant kissing.... One day I was on the metro, and I saw two people kissing. I went up to them and tapped on their legs. Then I said um excuse me. Then I preceded to yell stop having sex! Needless to say, I gave my mom a heart attack!


My sister and I used to sneak midnight snacks when I was five and she was seven and one night we sneaked downstairs to get strawberries and sugar (??) and our parents heard us and came downstairs. I for some reason thought that hiding behind the kitchen door would work (it didn't). 5 year old me was devastated, I think my parents found it quite funny but I thought my life was ruined


i guess it was for “self defense”<br>i got you dodie

i guess it was for “self defense”
i got you dodie


I would play those games too!!! Especially the one in the park


When I was like 4 or 5 I used to pretend that I was a trapped mermaid in the bath tub. I would swim around under the water. How, don't know but I used to do circles in a normal size tub. Also would pretend that my bed was a magical cage and I was a unicorn trapped. When I was in my early teens my friends and I would play in the construction areas and walk on the dumped rock or trash. The game was to call out "Insurance" and make the other person fall just by yelling that out. Ah a child's imagination. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. :)


Roses are red
So are wisterias
Excuse you ma'am
She's washing her areas


i once covered myself in butter when i was like 2 or 3 and my mother watched me the whole time


OMG JUST SPOTTED AN ARMS UNFOLDING LYRIC I USUALLY JUST LOOK FOR THE TIME STAMPS IN THE COMMENTS BUT I FOUND SELF-DEFENCE AND ATTACK YAY ME


I used to ride invisible horses everywhere and basically gallop places... I remember pretending the school bell was a bomb and having to get away on my horse as fast as I could before the explosion.

I also used to reenact the Lion King with my nephew at the playground, and throw him down the slide while shouting "Long live the king!"


i am so shaky my calendar keeps notifying me of the EP RELEASEEEE FRIDAY IM SO EXCITED IM GONNA DIEEE


I didn’t have any friends in kindergarten. If we were outside I would do romantic re-enactments of sharkboy and lavagirl where I was lavagirl and I was dying like in the movie but legit the entire recess would just be him dragging me across the playground bridge. Remember that I didn’t have anyone to hang out with, so I was dragging myself across the bridge. That must have looked weird. The only other memory I have of other people was when other girls would pull up my shirt so you could see my stomach and then they would place a slice of fake cheese on my stomach. We would do it to each other for forever. .-.


I thought your top knot was a separate bit of floof you had placed on your head and it made me so happy for a second

Thanks for the disappointment


when you said that your granddad is polish my heart stopped  for a sec CAUSE IM POLISH TOO


Should’ve brought up your 2019 tour thing there Dodie


Weird thing I did as a kid number 47: I used to bite hunks of summer sausage and put it back in a ziploc bag in the fridge for the next snacking experience.


i had a fringe...and everyone loved it but me. so literally THE DAY BEFORE PICTURE DAY i decided this fringe was not it chief. (baring in mind i was only 4 years old) so i stole one of my mams lighters and went upstairs into the towel cupboard and burnt it off...completely obliterated it 😂


Not me but my cousin, Michelle, thought that Kesha was a robot. She had a song just come out and one of the lyrics talked about "turning her on" and she legit thought there was a switch or button or something to turn her on, bc she was a robot.


DODIE I'M MEANT TO BE ALSEEP AND IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT. HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY PEACE WITH SUCH AN AMAZING LOVELY CUTE BEAUTIFUL STORY. I wuv yOu


i would purposely walk away from my friends and pretend that i was the weird kid that the world was against


So excited! Just got tickets for the Human show in Boston!


I tried to have a pet mussel and it ended up rotting under my bed

Basically, I was around seven and I was helping my pop sort mussels into piles of dead and alive.  There was one mussel with a pretty rainbow shell, and I decided to save her.  I filled up a little bowl with water and dumped a shitton of sea salt in it, and just kinda left her there?  I had no plans for feeding I just thought mussels kinda chilled.  My parents found it when I was away on a sleepover.


Once as a kid I caused a magic show's suspension because I'd just do anything to get everyone's attention and so I started coughing exaggeratedly ensuring I was allergic to the dry ice they were using to get the magic vibes going and so um they believed me for some reason


OMGoodness, I've never been here so early!! Love you dodie, you're such a goof!♡♡😆


omg dodie that fantasy about having powers ME TOO i had that same fantasy when i was younger lol


i used to lie on the floor and pretend i was in an 8bit 2D game and the walls were the floors and if you didnt have a wall to step on, youd have to shuffle your body as if you were falling. id also play a game where the duvet in my parents bed was like soil, and i was a mole.


When she said abba I FKING LOST IT. I LOVE MAMMA MIA💀


My friends and I used to pretend that like we were horses and cowboys so we’d tie our jackets around our wastes or even put the sleeves of the jackets in our mouths like horse bridles and pretend we were riding each other


Frankly, I must say that the Frankie game does sound random 😉


Dodie!! Imma see you for the second time in Utah!! (First time was in Seattle)


okay i was studying for finals but that can WAIT


Why do i RELATE SOOO MUCH with dodie in this vid (especially about the pretend games)


ox tongue is a regional specialty where I am from, it's actually very delicious:)


i used to think i could control the weather so i would stand with my arms outstretched and whisper ‘wind’ or ‘rain’


i’m so fucking excited for the new ep aghhhhh


I had existential crises from watching tv shows as a kid


3:25 I also who did the whole playing in the corner of the playground by myself in primary school.
I also lived half the time on the ‘Buddy Bus Stop’ where you would sit if you had no friends and someone would come and pick you up and play with you - I sat there often, but didn’t like being picked up? I was like 9 or 10 and just really like feeling sorry for myself or maybe I just didn’t want to play with people? BUT THEN WHY WOULD I SIT THERE?


I have this teddy ( I've had him since I was 1 and a half) he is a 'Fetch The Vet' teddy, from an old cartoon, but I got into the habit of smelling his jacket, like a comfort blanket, and I used to think that fairies controlled the smell of his jacket (because what else could control the sense of smell? nothing? must be fairies...) One day, my mum saw me tap the table, after picking Fetch (the teddy) up off the table, and she asked me why I did that, and I just said something like, "I needed to pick up the fairies!" I must have sounded so strange, but it was pure logic for me :-)


hmm it kinda sounded like the word “attack” was sung ? wonder what that was about ?

yeah, you're a bit too late. everyone knows about the sung words now.


Bite the bullet and make a whole album next girl!!!! Lets goooo


I thought I was the only one that pretended the playground was my house 🥺🥺🥺


I had a game exactly like 'Frankie' with my brother except it we made the shapes of famous towers/bridges and feel forward onto the bed and had to hold the shape like " THE LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN" "THE EIFFEL TOWER IS FALLING DOWN" "THE TAJ MAHAL..." The simplest minds are easy to entertain haha


when i was little i used to have a poster of a polar bear on a tiny bit of ice, and i used to stare at it and cry while thinking about dying polar bears GEEZ


Up until the age of about 12/13, I almost constantly stood on my tiptoes, idk why, I just liked it, and it made me look taller, and I always wanted to be taller. My family and my friends always teased me about it, and my mom tried so hard to get me to stop. But I didn’t want to, so for literally years, I just didn’t.


The crying out the car window thinking you’re in a music video was also my childhood woooooooaaaah! Also video game character was me as a child too double woooooaaaah!

I’m actually gonna lose it Money Money Money by ABBA was my favourite too! I used to run around with pennies in my hand but singing really loud thinking I was rich help me


When I was 5, I used to pretend I was a salt and pepper shaker and I would shake violently because my imaginary corn was underseasoned.


I want little dodie to be my best friend lol


BUT CAN I DRAW A COMIC ABOUT MAGICAL DODIE??


when i was a kid i used to think i could see germs... people would come up to me and ask if things had germs on them and i'd be like 'um yeahhh, sorryyyy'


Why does your hair look so freaking cute when it's messy, but mine just looks like I tried to have dreadlocks, an afro and straighten my hair at the same time while getting hit by a car and falling in a puddle of mud

Me and my friends would go to the park and play wizards of Waverley place and wave around sticks

crazykid15 the absolute BEST Disney show


ah human coming out and tour and this adorable video I CANT HANDLE IT


I preordered Human.

silently waits in dark corner for it to come out

Queer humor

see what I did there?

I'll leave

💛

No I won't.

No I won't.


I got hit in my face with a rounders ball too but in my lip, I'm in sixth form now and I can still remember that pain from year 8


It's not something I did, but I do have video footage of 1 year old me in an indoor swing with 2 of my older brothers on the floor in front of me, petting me with their feet. How I love being the baby to 7 other kids!


My sister and I made a game called "Toby house" where we would hide under a blanket in a weird position and the other person would have to try and find your head 😂😂😂 like wtf


OH MY GOD! I did the same "the playground is my house" MTV Cribz style thing.


Oh, I TOTALLY used to have the 'disaster at school but I SAVE THE DAY WITH MAGIC' daydreams when I was little. <3

AND I went through a preteen-to-midteen fire phase. (...Alright, fine, I'm 22 and still kind of IN my fire phase, lol. It's so PRETTY! And COOL!)
I got in trouble when my (also fire-enthusiast) friend and I tried to use a cook's torch to pop the unpopped popcorn kernels at the bottom of the bag, and just made it smoky in my room. I wasn't even allowed candles for a little while after that incident. ^^;

AND (!) I still have some of those glow in the dark stars in my uni accommodation, though not quite as impressively as when I covered my ENTIRE ceiling with them in my teens. (I reckon I COULD do my whole ceiling at home again - I still have the stars! - but I'm kind of going for more of a 'forest' thing these days. Maybe when I move out!)


i would have been friends with you in primary school i had no friends bc i just used to sit in the book corner all by myself


When I was little I use to pretend my hand was taken over by a Demon and I'd have to use my over hand to stop it trying strangle people haha, very odd. I called it "my hand game" I have many more weird games just as you


I don't know what's more type 4 than imagining you are a magical child lol same


When i was younger I used to cut my Barbie dolls hair. I was about 5 probably. I hid the clippings in a plastic baggie under my bed until my mom found them when we moved. She still laughs so hard it was the weirdest thing to find a bag of doll hair in your 5 year olds bed room!! Hahahaha


I DID THE PLAYGROUND THING IT WAS SO FUN


OMG I totally would pretend to be magic and then have my powers drained ~ I think for me it came from watching the winx club where that happened often


hey look I'm drinking tea and watching dodie heeheeh *happy sip


When I was a kid, my grandparents had like this thin half-wall with a little counter on top next to their toilet and bathtub, and a step to get into the bath. My little sister and I would sell butts. Yeah,  you read that right. Sell. Butts. One of us would be on one side of the counter ( the salesman), the other (the customer) would be on the bath step. We sold butts of all shapes, sizes, colors, textures... "Yeah, can I get an extra large zebra print butt with fur,  please?" "Why yes you can <b>takes pretend butt from pretend wall display*, here you are, ma'am, have a nice day.". For *hours</b> we would sell butts every weekend we visited. I don't know what they thought we were doing together in the bathroom all that time, but they never came in to check on us. And as adults we told them about it and now they always tease us about it.

I used to do that at playparks lol and I still like looking out the window dramatically


When I was younger I set a piece of paper on fire and my mum came upstairs because she could smell smoke, so I had to hide it under my bed...


That’s crazy! When I was in year 9 I broke my nose and cheekbone in p.e. I was backstop in rounders and the girl swung all the way round hit the ball then my face!

I’m 23 and I feel like my childhood was bizarrely similar!!! Cray


I'm like 14 so imma tell you something that happened 2 years ago:

I was over my new best friend's and we messing about on her bed play fighting and all of a sudden I hit my head on the bookshelves she had on her wall. So I've just hit my head and i'm like barely conscious and I've got my friend frantically shaking me and like calling out for her dad. So I did what any normal person would do, I grab hold of the ice cream tub that's above my head and I chucked it over my head and fell off of her bed mumbling something about cotton candy whilst her dad is walking into the room wondering what the hell is going on. (we spent the night washing ice cream out of my hair whilst her cats were trying to lick my face off)

And because I've just remembered another funny story imma tell that one as well:

I was at the same persons house like a year later and we've got my ex, my other best friend, the girl whose house it was and me and I have no idea why but we decided that we were going to have some whiskey (I have no idea where she got it from but yeah...) and a couple hours later I'm pissed and I start saying random things. (this is all according to my friends who have recorded me saying this) For instance, i hate moths, i fricken despise them so my friend catches one and is showing it me and i hold it and she smacks it dead (cruel i know) and all of a sudden i'm crying cause she killed this moth and she managed to convince me that i did it and that the pug gods were angry. Another thing i did was say really random things, for instance, my ex has really short hair and they earned themselves the nickname bald one when i couldn't remember their name, apparently i said gay is a bad word (i'm gay myself so i have no idea), I also asked whether my other best friend actually had a bedroom and then they managed to convince me that we were in my other friends house and that the cats my best friend had were actually pugs. And finally every time i went to hug my friend i poured a bottle of water straight on her bed for no apparent reason. And then, for some reason, I apparently completely passed out for a solid 5 minutes and when I woke up I somehow didn't know what had just happened.

I'm was a weird kid.....


i COMPLETELY believed that if the light was on that any monsters that could be out there couldn’t get me


when i was little i thought that as soon as you have yawned three times whilst having your eyes closed, you where asleep. like that was it you are fully asleep.


I had a basketball thrown at my face during dodge ball in 8th grade. I also definitely used to be obsessed with fire, and I dropped a flaming paper towel on the carpet in my room.  A weird thing I did when I was maybe 7 was pretend my winter coat was like a command center or something, maybe like I was in a mech suit or whatever? I would go turtle mode and pretend I was doing important things. I think mostly dispensing candy into my mouth.


I ate a green crayon and popped green at nursery and they called my mum and thought that they needed to call the ambulance and that is how I nearly gave everyone a heart attack


after i watched spy kids i used to walk around with my sunglasses without lenses and pretend i can see through walls


when i was little i captured frogs and snails and i literally thought the mood was following our car


When I was seven I moved house and started at a new school. Because I hadn't worn the uniform before the logo on it was really itchy and hadn't softened up yet and it was sitting right on my nipple. I thought the only solution was to stick my cold hands up my shirt and numb the itchiness with them. A girl came up to me and asked what I was doing and I replied, "I'm just numbing my nipple!" and that's the story of how I made my first friend in my new school.


I did the exact same things as a kid, damn we crazy


actually fun fact, if you shove your palm at someones nose, the nose bone goes up into their brain and they do a die


i used to wrap my mum's clothes in print paper and give it to her as a present
and the best was the look of surprise in her face lol

ALSO IM SO EXCITED FOR HUMAN !!!!!!!


Also the best midnight snack is cinnamon bagels with Nutella spread in them. 🤤💖


my childhood was not as exciting as yours really, l o l . i can mostly just remember that the girls used to steal the boys' soccer balls and run away, and that i liked to make up dances with my cousin and then perform them


in fourth grade i was like super good at the monkey bars (like you i guess lol) and now, four years later, i can barely lift like 12 pounds


my abba song was ring ring. i used to sing it all the damn time and i would use my fake telephone and pretend someone was calling it lmao


There are so many cute moments in this video aaaa


When i was 11, at the end of y6, our whole class went to the park for a day to play games and have a picnic and all that. At the time, i was doing like 8+ hours a week of diving training so i was like skinny af but super strong, especially in my core muscles.
Anyway, cut to near the end of the day at the park and we're playing rounders and I'm running to tag a base to get someone out, and this other boy is running to get to the base so he was still in, his hand/wrist connected with my stomach and my fucking stomach muscles we're so solid that the SNAPPED HIS FUCKING ARM. Someone literally broke their arm against my stomach muscles.
So yeah, that's my favourite childhood story to tell.

Best bit is that in Y7 in my secondary school, we were all sat chatting during form time, a but of chinese whispers must have happened, and then suddenly someone stands up and yells "LOUISA, YOU BEAT UP DOM REMEKIS WITH A ROUNDERS BAT??"<br>Despite me being a massive gawky nerd, no one messed with me from then on ;)

I made a glass goose fall on my head by trying to climb a bookshelf. I was 4


when i was 7 i jumped down the stairs because i thought i was a fairy... i was a very weird child 😭


Ah...I too have nearly burnt down the house with tissue and a candle. Good times...good times

lol but I really did, traumatic to say the least


Omg I did the video game character thing and the magic thing too lol


i am also a fire lord and caught my rug on fire as well as my bedsheets. t i g h t


I'm pissing myself laughing dodie you were a CHAOTIC child


why did you have such nice bedtime fantasies i used to imagine i fell down a hole outside my school and i’d get trapped and everyone would be like ‘OH GOSH WE GOTRA GET HER OUT’ and then a rubbish bin fell on top of me and trapped my arm and i’d like die 😅


when i was a kid and i went to see santa and he asked me what i wanted, i replied “corn”


i distinctly remeber commenting on your last video that you always post when im at therapy. i swear to heck i just came back from therapy to see this video.


how did me and dodie live the same childhood


I always used to do the music video thing when I was a kid haha


I wish my mum would let us have midnight feasts


I used to pretend that I lived in a castle with all the Disney princesses and their princess and that each princesses has a daughter that looked exactly like them and that they would have massive balls and the husbands would ride horses and chop wood...? In hindsight it’s quite funny


Have you listened to hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it by Lana Del Rey?
I have listened to it on repeat since it got released. Its so beautiful and sad. I think you’ll like it. Give it a listen. x
Also keep doing what you are doing dodie,  love you! x


Omggg I’m so excited to hear monsterrr!!!


I also liked fire as a kid and once accidentally burned a part of my carpet. No more fire after that.


I use to imagine in assembly that I was a spy and I had to get out ASAP but I'd never move


Not gonna lie I had no idea Dodie had a brother


If you were a video game caracter, you would be Vanellope in Wreck it Ralph


It sounds like she’s singing sometimes...


I PRETENDED I HAD POWERS TOO but it was more-so that I was the only fairy in my class and I could fly and like use my magic to save everyone and I would always imagine them finding out so I would accidentally float up a bit and everyone would be like “OMG WHAT” and I would look at my teacher and she would nod at me like “it’s time my dear” because somehow she already knew that I could fly and then I would sort of rise up to the ceiling and everyone would be like “woah”. Thanks for reminding me of that dodie 😂


I use to dip my string cheese in my yogurt and then lick it off the cheese, it was good and people called me weird so I stopped.


Dodie, you need to write a song about magical dodie


I’m so sad you didn’t get to finish you bear, now i wish I would make you one because i work at Build-A-Bear


I also got to blue belt 🤣 it was the second one


Oh I did the video game character game all the time too and in my head I would pause myself and make up conversations between my player and like his mom asking him to stop playing video games and stuff.


I did the same thing with rainy car windows!


Wait that “self defence” sounded suspicious


I played a game like Frankie with my brother except we stood on my toy box and took turns pushing eachother off and saying "you're pathetic!" cause I guess we learned what pathetic meant and thought it was hilarious?


I still pretend that I'm in a movie/video game and I'm 20 haha


Me and my brother also played Frankie, but we called it hippo!!!


Omg I went to lakeside on a school trip last year! Its actually amazingggg


Little me ALWAYS wanted a bob. So one day I told my mom because she‘d always cut my sibling‘s and my hair. She said I should wait another night and think about it.
I agreed and went to bed. The next day I went into my mom‘s bedroom at 5am because i wAiTeD aNoThEr NiGhT and she had to cut my hair at 5am.

As a little kid I loved making presents. Every Christmas Eve I would go around the house and would just grab anything, wrap it in toilet paper and give it to my family. One year, I must have been around three, I grabbed my dads scissors, wrapped them in paper and gave it to him. I remember him saying 'thank you for getting me my scissors, what a nice present!‘. I was proud.


Lmao what must that woman've thought😂 I wanna know what your mum says about it now??


Shout-out to lakeside, build a Bear was my life as a kid 😭😭


dude i’m still being controlled by someone while being inside of a video game


I used to think that I was part cat, and during gym class at school I'd quickly get down on all fours to assemble my cat powers in order to get better at the sport we were playing


"f*ck, and blew as hard as i could"- dodie 2019


4:12  did dodie create the plot to stranger things?


I used to think that the song ‘Apologise’ by Timbaland went “its too late to pull the chimes” instead of “its too late to apologise” and then I would get confused when everyone laughed at me


why were you the most adorable child lol


she protecc
she attacc
fire fights her back


Do you do meet and greets at your concerts? Trying to convince my parents to letting me see you in the fall

Hey! I'm not dodie but she said in a instagram story she responded to my question about this. She said that they don't happen cause it's a YouTube thing,she says hi if she can.


1:41 It shouldn’t be so surprising to me that she mentions lakeside but it is because that’s literally within walking distance of where I live wth


i totally did the same 'super hero saving the school' thing yikes


For some reason I read the writing on the thumbnail as me as a acid lol 😂


When I was younger I used to be terrified of monsters and possessed dolls trying to kill me when I was asleep so I would make rules for them if they wanted to come kill me. Like id be like “you can only kill me if all the lights are off” or “you can’t kill me if I’m not moving and my eyes are closed and all of my body parts except for my head are under the covers” I guess it worked lol I ain’t dead het


you are the cutest human being actually ever


Was I the only kid that never had an imaginary friend ? I just couldn’t imagine a person there when they’re not .


When I was little...

I would pick the fluff off my teddy bear and...

Shove it up my nose


Can we please get a tutorial on how to do this hairstyle pretty pretty please


I'M JUST WASHING MA AREAS MA'AM

Say it loud and proud Dodie, loud and proud.

*I'M JUST WASHING MA AREAS MA'AM*

Say it loud and proud Dodie, loud and proud.


i feel like other schools may have done this aswell but at my junior school we'd always try to play bulldog but the school saw it as "dangerous" so it was banned and we weren't allowed to play it so every time we wanted to play it we kept renaming it and play it under the new name until that one got banned and then rename it again. it was stupid and tbh i don't even know why it was a thing, especially between a school full of 7-11 year old children


In like year 2 i had the temptation to bite into the burger i made with playdoh

‘Twas very salty


Interesting, I thought you looked Polish so I am not surprised that you are of Polish descent.


One time I set a nailpolish applicator on fire because I was trying to I guess dye the wax? And I just kinda put it on the windowsill until that giant flame went out


OMG I DO THE MUSIC VIDEO OUT THE WINDOW THING STILL😂😂😂


I used to do the pee pee dance, just 2 year old me walking around naked spinning my lil dingaling around in a circle....yeahhh I was a lil odd


I'm a twin, so I didn't really ever make games on my own, but we did make games together, which was a big mistake, because I made this game called 'dodge the books'... where you literally chuck books at each other from on top of the bunk bed to the bottom bunk... let's just say, that didn't end well... don't play that game at home, kids :-) You may end up hitting your sister in the face with a box set of Narnia books with school picture day the next day... oops. (I'm not that stupid now, no worries)


"I'm just washin' my areas ma'am" haha :)


0:02 omg that sounds a little like the start of the attack on titan theme? i think?


Is it weird that I ....Sensed(?) ..That this EP was coming so soon? Which is great because I really need that sweet sweet music right about now


My brother also used to do that bed flattening thing


your bun distracted me for the whole of this video i love it so much


When I was little I LEGIT thought that song went "must be funny in a rich man's SQUIRREL"


i pissed myself in front of my whole nursery....

im still not over it.


I had this Stacy Barbie doll and this plastic white horse that were my favs. My go-to playtime with them was this elaborate tale of the girl getting thrown from the horse and getting amnesia. Also my ice skating Barbie was a ho and would have sex with ken all the time even though he was dating my Anastasia doll. Tsk tsk


when she said science fiction my first thought was Voltron


one time when I was in a hotel and in this hotel it had the usual big window next to the door. Well in this hotel the window was inside the hotel, looking out the hallway and the pool. Well, I was three, and we decided to go swimming. Mom thought I could do it on my own she put on her bathing suit in the bathroom. Well, there I was, completely naked and before I put my bathing suit on I went to the window, stood on the ledge. And pressed my whole body against it so that way I could look out and see the pool. I remember a couple passing and the woman looking at me and then telling her bf, husband, or brother not to look. And then I put on my swimming suit and my mum never knew


I used to crawl round my house and bark at my family members


i named my kitten after you, i just had too


when i was in 5th grade i killed ladybugs bugs for some reason i’d pick them up and squish them in my fingers <br>id also our grass in my hair and say i was the grass man and also chew up pieces of paper from my math journal and just chew them up and then spit them out

when i was in like reception to probably year 3 i used to call rectangles 'oblongs' because i was so scared so spelling rectangle wrong.


Oh my god build a bear is the most magical experience a kid can experienceeeee


thumbs up if you preordered Human MONTHS ago and you are so excited that it's almost here!!!


uH how did i not know that she had a new ep coming out??


I ate a single blade of grass as a child because my dog did it and I wanted to try it. Smashing.


I was a very shy kid but very friendly (those two don’t go together well). I always wanted new friends so i would be really annoying. (I’m somewhat better now). Anyways i was very lonely and would often play by myself and just imagine things. I was very creative and would act out different stories and play the main character while imaginary actors would play my costars. I never had just one imaginary friend. I would just create stories and act in them! Very strange but i guess i’m now into writing for these exact reasons.


I did a lot of these things, but I’m also an only child so maybe I was lonely. Dunno???


one time I was tickling my brother and he head butted my chin and I bit a hole through my tongue that was an Experience


OH MY GOD I USED TO DO THE VIDEO GAME THING ALLL THE TIME<br>(i still do.)

OH MY GOD I USED TO DO THE VIDEO GAME THING ALLL THE TIME
(i still do.)


Dodie how do you feel about Anna Akana's interpretation of you in her recent video? 😂


i used to have like a fantasy where i was a princess from the real earth and was human. so the real earth got taken over but everyone else was aliens and was from this planet. whenever i was around everyone would pretend to be human.

it was really weird and i guess i just thought i was really important?? lmao


my dad owned a record of ABBA HITS and i would just watch the music videos and sing along


Wait there’s people who don’t look out the car window when it’s raining and pretend they’re in a music video? Huh what a thought


is it bad i didn't know dodie had a brother?! like she's never mentioned him oof


I don't have a weird thing I did but I have a story. I was 3 years old and my mum was out, my dad sleeping. I opened the front door and me with my puppy ran out. My neighbour noticed and called my mum, who called my dad.

Just a funny story.

@Sophia Ridder Nice to know someone else ran away at a young age by accident. I also made the police come on my 3rd birthday while I was asleep.

0re0Mars I did the same thing! I don’t think I was even three years old when it happened. My parents and siblings were taking a nap and I decided to go on an adventure. I went to a family friends house down the street and was super confused why my dad was so freaked out when he came to get me.


So i was NOT allowed to have chocolate when I was younger-dont ask- but whenever I would go to my Grandmas she would give us like mounds of chocolate and then send us home. My mum thought she had bad kids, but maybe she was just a bad information giver.

When I was younger I had  a stuffed ducky (from land before time) and I was so excited, I had stories popping in my head of how I would play with her at my new house and how lit it would be. So i get to my house with my fam and my dogs- dogs.... yeah, so I set my ducky down and I take a nap. When I wake I get up, take a wee and go to the living area and expect ducky waiting there for me. Instead i see chunks of fluff and green fuzz EVERYWHERE.
Exact words:
"MUUUUMMMM!!!"
"Yes baby?"
"DUCKY!!!!"
"shit."


this video should be called little dodie has adventures


My best friends and I as a kid had ONE GAME we would play at every sleepover, it was always the same one, and it was called "The Swedish Prince." We'd dress up in their mum's satin nighties and pretend to be princesses and every time the swedish prince would climb in the window and try to marry one of us and we had to try our best to get rid of him. Sometimes violently. I'm not nearly that much of a feminist anymore!! Feel like we would have gotten along as 5 year olds, Dodie :)


My dad gave me ox tongue and told me it was beef lmao I mean he's not wrong but I didn't find out for weeks


I'm sorry, but...You had to cry for 6 hours for those seconds of footage?! Whoever is responsible for this prolonged forced exposure to emotion, I'm gonna catch 'em and make them drink lemon juice!! undiluted, sugarless lemon juice

I'm sorry, but...You had to cry for _6 hours_ for those _seconds_ of footage?! Whoever is responsible for this prolonged forced exposure to emotion, I'm gonna catch 'em and make them drink lemon juice!! _undiluted, sugarless_ lemon juice


when i was a younger, i use to get the word tourist and terrorist confused.


Imagine blonde Dodie...just throwing it out there...


That hitting the nose trick you’re talking about for self defense can actually be really dangerous. If you do it too hard it can potentially break a piece of the bone in the nose off in pierce their brain and kill them. So ya. If you ever need to use that move you have been warned. (I know in situations where that move would need to be used you wouldn’t really care if the person died probably but there have been cases where someone accidentally killed someone in self defense and have gotten charged so ya)


omg in year 7 my friend broke her nose bc of a rounders ball british schools really haven’t changed


you could make a video on how to achieve that beautiful bun. please? :D


omg I did kickboxing as a kid and one of the only things I can remember is the nose smoosh


I REMEMBER THESE STORIES FROM PILLOW TALK WITH TESSA


Oh I just realized that the little jingle is from the eyebrows video!


I HAD A REALLY SIMILAR GAME TO 'FRANKIE' CALLED MR TREE POP.<br>me and brother would say mr tree pop and we'd fall on my parents bed in the shape of my tree.

I HAD A REALLY SIMILAR GAME TO 'FRANKIE' CALLED MR TREE POP.
me and brother would say mr tree pop and we'd fall on my parents bed in the shape of my tree.


Another childhood story, me and ma twin were only around 18 months, but we were left in our living room alone while our mum went to the toilet, and when she cam back, she found us standing 'innocently' next to a giant flat screen TV smashed on the floor, we'd gone behind it and pushed it over. My mum walked in, obviously apalled, and said "you've killed the teletubbies!" and let's just say we've never pushed any TVs over since :-)


I love you dearly but I miss your adorable short hair.


i might be wrong but i think 'crime' from arms unfolding is in this


When I was a little kid I drank ear drops and was hyper


You have a BROTHER?!? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS


The big thing I would imagine when I couldn't sleep was that my bed would turn into a spaceship. That, and my neighbors and I had tubes connecting our houses.


Is anyone else just staring at the nesty bun?


when I was younger (idk how old but before the age 11) I set the bin on fire....on Christmas...

NoraNeko I wouldn’t say “covered”. She has like 5 in total


when I was little i ate a sharpie and I  tried to pet a goldfish


My little sister and I used to suck our thumbs and hold our ears and for some reason we liked cold ears so when we would sit on my dads lap we would fight over who got his right ear because for some reason we like it better than his left ear. I still don’t know why we liked his right ear more but there’s this really cute pic of us holding my dads ear.


k but y'know when you were really little and you'd be sitting in the backseat of a car at night and your parents would be talking about you in the front but you'd be pretending to be asleep and you'd feel like such a spy bc "tHeY DoNt KnOw I'm nOt AsLeEp heughhuhfgsrvlgfbh" and then you'd try to make them carry you inside and yeah that was great yum


i once rubbed 3 entire bottles of shampoo onto our bed for no reason.. i was 2 then


When I was about 8 I got pepper spray up my nose...multiple times

Omgggg. Dodie. All seriousness. What secondary skl did you go to bc we went to a Hindu temple in year 8 too. Is that a secondary skl thing or.


That's may sounds weird but does anyone else like... don't gave childhood memories? Or more like don't remember their childhood? I know it was mostly happy and obv I've been doing some weird things but i can't think about aby particular story and everything is so blurred that I'm not sure if I really was a child once. Plus I honestly can't tell any embarrassing stories.


Oh I remember I use to love build a bear

I'm actually going to combust when in two days


Ooh this was posted the day after I turned 12


listen, I lit my garbage can on fire trying to put out a piece of paper I put on fire, then proceeded to run around my home with it, then as I heard my mom walking around so in a last desperate hope of not getting yelled at... I chucked it outside in to the snow bank only to have to go out later, bare foot, nothing remotely warm on to stand in the snow and put snow into the can to actually put out the fire, I was just a wee one so I understand.


BUILD A BEAR IS AN INTIMATE MAGICAL PROCESS AS AN ADULT TOO!


I drank paint as a kid....accidentally of course


I pretended to be a piano as a child.

This is probably going to make zero sense to anyone who doesn’t speak German but when I was very small I couldn’t say the word for balloon (Luftballon) so I said „Pustablöng“ in this really excited voice whenever I saw a balloon and according to my parents and siblings it was really funny but anyway if I were to try to explain it: „Luft“ means air („Ballon“ is balloon obviously) and somehow I made that into „Puste“ which means something like breath; „blöng“ I suppose is what I imagined a balloon sounding when it popped? I honestly have no idea but whenever I‘m back at my parents‘ house and there’s a balloon I like to point to it and say „Pustablöng!“ and it still makes my family laugh and idk I miss my childhood, can you tell


i'm pretty sure the blue belt is what you get when you buy the robe in America, but idk im british so wtf do i know


When i was younger i liked roleplaying with myself imagining everything from guards to rats and this habit stuck with me until i was like 13😅 i never did it with other kids tho

I have a few funny stories from when I was a kid. When I was around 3, my family decided to paint the house and hired a few people to do so. They brought their big cans of paint and were working as I watched. This was an incredible experience for me but at lunch time, my grandma being the Cuban grandmother she was, prepared a big meal for everyone and sat the workers to eat with the whole family. This was a bad idea! Because that left the cans of paint UNATTENDED. I was quick to drag one of them (i don’t even know how, those were big and I was 3) to the room and proceded to paint all over the walls, forniture and stereo that never worked again. I was a dedicated worker. I was commited.
When my family found me, I just shrugged and told them I wanted to help the house look pretty... I’m surprised they didn’t kill me😂
I was very good at playing on my own as a kid, and sometimes adults are just in the way of play, man. So at 2, I decided to lock myself up in my parents room with all my toys. When my tata (my nanny) realised, she tried to tell me off and ordered me to open the door through the window, but I just looked at her, laughed and said “nope”, and continued playing. My dad had to break down the door...
Not to mention that time when I was 4 and decided to make an impression of a cat and climbed up the curtains to where my tata couldn’t reach me, hanging from the metal tube like a sloth. I ended up not knowing how to get back down and simply... letting go. I was fine but I think my tata is traumatised.


Oh I wanna cry now, you just transported me right back in time to when I had such a vivid imagination, when I could just be so silly without a care and lose myself in a funny game like Frankie. Also you really went out hard with that shower story I had to pause and catch my breath there!


Thank you for sharing (and thus reawakening one's own childhood memories)!
I just had a look at your tour plan.. are you a wee bit insane? :D
Please (well, first and foremost have fun) but also don't forget to take care of yourself during that time!


This made me laugh really hard; especially the part where you're just walking around like a mario block


Remember when little kids had imaginations? Also this is the sweetest video I've ever seen.


OK but in all realness this video gives me the warm and fuzzies. Such a trip down memory lane! <3


i haven't laughed this much from a video in a long time, i did some of these things as a kid too i ahaha especially the music video one


We need a bun tutorial asap. The bun is here and I love her


Yes. Jack & Dean with the 'The Good, the Bad and the blbla of 2018" and dodie with her awesome way of... 'storytelling' with this.<br>I love traditions.💓

I love traditions.💓


me and my friends are having a listening party of  your ep at starbucks the day it comes out ah im so excited for it


As a kid I always imagined myself heroically saving my crush from the school as it burned, then one year when we had a genuine fire in my school I broke a first years arm as I pushed her out the way.


This is so soft and wholesome I’m in love


aw that story about you finding a way to cry for the 6/10 vid almost made me cry like,, that’s so soft bless


This is why Dodie has a special place in my heart.


I got through the first fact and paused and went “oh wAit, I need tea for this!”


I love you dodie you are the cutest sweetest angel love listening to things you did as a child you are such and imaginative creative person


I DID THE MUSIC VIDEO THING TOO!

Also, when I was young, I was OBSESSED with fairies. I remember having a flower fairy book that I would look at for hours on end, selecting which fairies I'd like to be and custom making my own fairy outfits.

Apparently, (this is my mum's favourite thing to tell people), I would run around in nothing but a pair of knickers and wellies wearing my fairy wings and wand. And when I couldn't find them, I'd go up to my parents yelling "WHERE ARE MY VINGS AND MY VAND?!" (I absolutely pronounced them like that, I don't know why, haha!). I would also spend ages lying underneath this weeping willow tree in the middle of my local park and imaging fairies darting between the branches.

But my mum's favourite memory of all time was seeing me on Bonfire Night curled up with my fingers in my ears (I HATED fireworks back then- I was terrified of the noise) on my parent's bed dressed in my wings and knickers, wellies and all. I was a weird kid XD


Tiny Dodie, bouncing a ball: THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF LUXURY


One time when I was little (maybe like 5 or 6), me and my older sister where in the living room of our house and we saw our mom out front and she started crying, and then my sister told me our mom was crying because I was born.

So that was my childhood ...

(Just in case you were wondering, she was not crying because I was born.  Just thought I should clarify)


When I was young, I literally thought that the sun followed me and I was “chosen” by the sun so I told my friend and she was like “omg the sun follows me too” and I said something like “um no you’re lying the sun follows mE because I’m special and you’re not”


I once buried someone’s coat in the sand at the playground in the neighbourhood, because this girl had been very mean to me. When her mother came at our door, I denied so so hard, but when she left I literally burst into tears and told my mum everything lol. <br>She didn’t do anything with it tho hahaha

i stopped watching your vids for a while because i just couldn't find the time to and i watched this one and my heart,,,,,,, just exploded. i remembered why i love you dodie. thank you


So, I really liked hiding when I was a little boi. Once, I was on holiday with my family and went to hide under the bed of a random room that was left open in the hotel. My mom panicked until they finally found me playing with a Doberman which was taller than me in that very same room. My mother told me she almost had two heart attacks that day haha


When I was in primary school I used to play IT with my big group of friends. They were a lot faster than me and I could never catch them. It was still fun.


i think i've heard that midnight snack story before? anyway, i'm getting some hard core déjà vu vibes haha :)


The little bits about pretend games brought me back to my childhood so quick i had whiplash dude. I guess in middle school i was weened off of those pretend games, told they were uncool, but ultimately what the hell is uncool about imagination


I remember when I was little and we went to the pool I was convinced I was a waterbender so I'd jump up and down and move my hands and thought that my hand movements made the water move (instead of.... y'know....me jumping) also I used to have super long hair so I'd spend ages under water with my eyes open so I could see my hair flow around my head and pretend I'm a mermaid

I just wanted to be a water-related fictional character apparently 🌊


Hun I pre ordered the day it was available I love your music and you so much


For some reason, i haven't watched a dodi video in a month or two, and when the notification came up i got so excited :D


I once ran away in an ikea and since I was lost and away from my dad I thought hmmm what to do....so I went to the bit where they have the show bedrooms and got in the bed. Was found by my dad and an ikea worker who woke me up. Apparently the whole shop had been on lock down incase someone was trying to smuggle/steal me out but I had been having a little sleep the entire time 👍 10/10 would recommend


I also loved midnight feasts and chicago the musical as a pre-teen. And the dance mats and bratz and caramac bars.


One of my childhood stories

When i was in like, year 2, i figured out what sex was. Kinda. So i went round the wholllle school, spreading my newfound knowledge. Of course, i was spreading the wrong information and instead of the man going in the woman, the woman went in the man ( traditional because I was like. 7 and didn't know how gay I was yet). Anyway, the school got so many complaints that we all had an emergency assembly explaining that sex was bad in the eyes of the Lord.
No teacher ever found out it was me.

Moral of the story? Tell as many people the wrong information as possible for no personal gain.


When I was 3 or 4, me and my two friends were finger painting and me decided to put the paint on our feet and run around on the white carpet...

my mom was NOT happy


When my brothers and I were younger, we had two games we'd always play. The Dark Game and The Broom Game. My eldest brother, Michael once chased me with a knife during the dark game, and i proceded to cry for an hour. A few years later we were playing the broom game (we were geniuses. Basically you just try to...hit someone with a broom) Anywho, I went for my usual tactic that my brothers hated, in which I would hold the broom in the air and spin around really fast. Well, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I accidentally hit my older brother, Wesley in the face. He didn't speak to me for a week. It's alright though, six years later and he's completely forgotten about it. Mainly because a few weeks after the incident he accidentally shot me in the face with an airsoft gun and now it's a common story in my family. Gotta love my brothers, eh?


Ooo, your grandad is Polish! So awesome that you will go to Poland, we can't wait for your concert 💛💛💛
