I loved your video
It was very lovely
Amazing as always😙
Cheers😉👌

Omg hi rebecca. i didnt know you where here too👋💙


died at "full eye contact" and "just washing my areas Ma'm!"


Woooahhh was not expecting to find you here


Now I know about the secret words of ‘arms unfolding’ I can’t un-hear it 😂

@Xiao-Long Zhao "this might take a 'little' more"

@MusicalMack 6:10 she sings "fire", 6:29 "self-defense", 6:34 "attack, 6:59 "walls" Those are the ones I noticed but I'm sure there are more xD


When I was a kid I had a secret imaginary friend named Susan. One day I told my older sister about my secret friend and how similar we were. She said we should share her. This quickly turned into a fight and she told me that Susan didn’t like me anymore. I was devastated. My sister literally stole my imaginary friend lol.

Soph omg something super similar happened to me except I was the older sister who got jealous but instead of stealing my sister’s I just imagined that I had an imaginary friend and paraded her around to make my sister angry. It worked 😈


she protecc
she attacc
but most importantly
the high bun is bacc


I looked at the title and was like
Oh the facts are little
But then I realized
These were little Dodie, kid, facts

JuJuBee 12 I didn’t even realize this till I read your comment oops


I forget how pleasant it is to listen to your voice.

I was a friendless kid--I wasn't lonely, yet--but I did spend a ton of time fantasizing about how I'd fit into the plot and character arcs of my favorite TV shows and video games.

Reader, I love you. Have a great day :-)

aw the beginning throwback to the eyebrow vid

Rowan B. IM SO GALD SOMEONE ELSE YOU TO DO THAT. all my friends thought i was crazy. 🤷🏼♀


When I was a kid, my mum would always take a piece of whatever snack I was having and say she was testing it to make sure it was “safe”. So one day, lil me finally got invited to another kid’s birthday party, and they handed me a slice of cake. I then walked up to my mother, in front of all the other parents, and said “Mum, make sure it’s not poisoned!”... Understandably, I didn’t get invited to many more 😅

I used to do this but after the first bite say "oh yeah it's got poison you can't eat this" then proceeded to eat it extremely fast as they watched in horror and confusion. Then when they finally expressed the homicidal rage that was about to be unleashed I'd be like, dude I just saved your freaking life. This ironically finely re established respecting each others food boundaries.

My dad did the same thing except he did not test for 'safety', he just said i had to pay 'tax' on the food he gave me and took a bit lmao


i remember being like five or six thinking that i had come up with the tune to "...baby one more time" by britney spears and getting upset when i heard it on the radio cause i thought they stole my idea. lolol

also in 1st grade the principal at my school asked us what could be improved about the school and i said to replace all the walkways with swimming pools so we could just swim to class and he just laughed and said "wow, great idea!"
looking back his reaction makes me giggle cause as an adult you're like "lol kids" but as a kid i was like "omG he thought it was a GREAT IDEA!!!"

katquizzity i had a stuffy that I loved that had lollipops on it so I thought that I made the "lollipop, lollipop, la la la lollipop" song lmaooo

I actually want the streets to be trampolines

I'm 11 lol

katquizzity omg when i was like 5/6 i thought i had come up with the song ‘fuck the police’ and got so angry thinking the actual song had copied me and i wanted to sue


you are literally the cutest human bean everrrr. ilysm

Suvi-Tuuli Allan KFP Gum Under the Table


Love knowing that when she says “self defense” and “attack” it is because she’s singing Arms Unfolding


I didn’t have any imaginary friends, I had an imaginary enemy. His name was Mr. Mister and he was super evil and I’d always invent these little challenges for us to do (for example, lining up all the shampoo bottles and knocking them all down with one push like dominoes). He always thought he was super smart but I always beat him and I had this imaginary classroom where all the challenges happened and after every challenge I would get a trophy and we each had a trophy room but mine got so full that we had to start using his trophy room for my trophies

That’s kind of similar to something I did when I was little, I had “meanie friends” all I remember about them was they looked exactly like the bullies from lilo and stitch and they would be mean to me, hence the name.

calico kitty <br>That sucks Im so sorry you had to deal with that

calico kitty
That sucks Im so sorry you had to deal with that

My super toxic friend came up with this idea in primary school that everyone had magic except me which made me "special" (it was actually just a way to make me feel bad about myself oo how fun) and that when I was older I was going to be rlly evil so she used to "transform" into future me and run after all my friends pretending to attack them and we'd call it "Future (my name here) Alert" and then she said that me from the future had killed her and she wouldn't transform into future me anymore, she was future me and me and my other best friend went into mourning for about a week so yea that was my best friend :/

I love that you’re still so dedicated to your hatred towards him. Thank you for making my day lol

vintage jilly ok so he was really short (like american girl doll sized) and had dark straight hair and tiny rectangular glasses and he always wore dark grey suits

I had the same idea as a kid except I was competing against many versions of myself from all different dimensions and in one dimension I was kind of a bully I guess? Anyways she was my enemy and she went by the name "Fuchsia."

I had an imaginary enemy too! He'd invent machines and things, and I'd always break them 😂. I've never found someone with a similar experience.

vintage jilly FANTASTIC question i would set up some for mr. mister too, but he’d be dumb and line them up by height and i’d be smart and line them up by weight

i still don’t know if it came from my competitiveness and love for winning or my deep insecurities and fear of failure 🤷♀


i could literally just listen to dodie talk like this for HOURS


When I was little, like 5-10 years old, I had this whole system of monsters. Some lived in the toilet, closet, under the parents bed, and the office. But there was one who lived by the washer and drier, and he was the toilet paper monster. Our deal was that if I used four squares of toilet paper or less to wipe, then he would give me an imaginary platter of cookies. My imaginary monster friend was very environmentally friendly I suppose

I thought my boiler was a monster and it used to make really loud noises and I thought it was going to kidnap me so I wouldn't go to the bathroom at night for fear it would suck me down the toilet


"wow thanks,, my, uh, bed is so smooth(?)"
"You are WELCOME, mum!"

i loved being so proud of strange little things like that as a kid


1:05 I like how dodie is starting to laugh here because she realizes what she’s about to say


When I was a little kid around four or five, I took my dad’s tools and threw them out in the field with my friends. We never found them but my dad got more. Lol😂


When I was younger sometimes my gran would look after me and my older brother for a couple hours. Whenever we went to her house, for lunch we loved to have those spaghetti noodles for kids? They're by the same brand that do the alphabeti spaghetti. Anyway, me and my brother would always pretend to be baby birds slurping up worms that our parent birds fed to us.<br>We wouldn't use the spoon, and we'd make chirping noises and everything.

Hahaha I used to do the same thing!! Spaghetti is the best


when i was little i used to hide my mom's spoons and she'd keep buying more and one day she found all the hidden spoons and we ended up with like 50 spoons

This made me giggle. Kids are so funny sometimes.

...it’s just so random.. anD I LOVE IT! “the more the merrier” can apply to spoons to y’know

Valentina Paladino I doubt that your mom found this as funny as I did but I can’t stop laughing


this is about my cousin rather than me, but when we were young she used to be down right TERRIFIED of the moon !! we would come out of our grandmas during night and she would have to run back in the house and grab a blanket to drape over her so she couldn’t see the moon and the moon couldn’t see her

Same thing with me, in turkish culture the moon is called aydede (moon grandpa) and my mother used to say that if i didn't sleep early the moon grandpa would climb down to earth and take me with him. Scarred for life lmao


I love how soothing her voice is , I could literally fall asleep


aw the beginning throwback to the eyebrow vid

dodie hearted my frickity frackin comment byeeeeee

I had to rewind it coz I thought she played that bit from the old vid 😂


This is one of the happiest dodie videos ive ever had the absolute pleasure of watching. You were so bright and full of excitement and, like, pure, sweet joy. ill be impatiently counting down minutes until youre ep come out, thanks for this very nice and good content.


When I was pretty little, I remember lying in bed, being very concerned as I sat and thought about the fact that the planet rotates. I was positive that in the middle of the night everything in my room would end up on the ceiling, including me, smashed by my bed, and all my possessions would be broken. Of course, that’s not how things work but it was a big concern for me at the time 😅

KtRosemary sometimes I thought I felt the planet rotating so when I told my mum and she said it was impossible I thought I was special, chosen to save the world from ever stopping. Turns out, I just had anaemia and a low blood pressure 😂


You should do more of this bc it is literally so cute and relaxing and makes me so happy


When I was little (I grew up in Brazil, and down south it can actually snow, but the rest of the country doesn’t get snow at all and since I’m from Rio, it was honestly always hot.) I was obsessed with snow and with the US and stuff, so I got into the bathroom, opened the baby powder (I think that’s the name?) bottle and threw the powder everywhere, trying to cover everything in white. I lied down and tried to make a snow angel (and failed) and made my very curly and very dark hair go gray from the amount of powder that I rubbed in there. When my mom walked in the bathroom (I was always a very quiet kid so nobody suspected anything) she couldn’t even say anything. She asked me what was that and I just replied “it’s snow” in a soft voice because I didn’t think she’d be mad at all lol

Julia Calvet  Your story is so cute 💕 it's sad that you don't have snow. I wish I could send you a little bit of it from Europe


"I'd like to play alone on the playground... or i just had no friends. Either one."


@Lau Ste ohhhhhhh okay. Lol missuderstood. I thought she was talking about those bathrooms likr they have in asia where water splashes up to clean you since she was talking about cleaning her bits.

@tardirosal toilets? There's showers near the swimming pool so you can wash off the chlorine, there's probably kid-height showers as well which is what she's talking about

I don't understand this... do toilets in England have water that shoots up to wash your areas? I'm so confused hahaha

stillgottroubletrackingtime I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT ABOUT THIS THANK YOU


one time my older sister was destroying an ant pile with a large branch and I was behind her and she smacked me in the eye with an ant covered branch.


I would take showers in my mom's bathroom because she had glass doors. I would pretend I was cinderella and "clean" the shower doors with my wash cloth and make up songs and everything. Our water bill must've been ridiculous.


when my siblings and i were little we would put our feet and legs in a pillowcase and sit on the pillow within the case and sled down the stairs in our house. sometimes we would forego the pillow and slide down like a penguin. the craziest was when we would go headfirst but laying on our backs. pre-technology childhoods were w i l d


Watching this after she released Arms Unfolding and I nearly screamed when she went “I guess it was sElF dEfEnCe”

“TRUST us you’re gonna love this” still going through and I can’t-


I got <b>unnecessarily</b> excited when I heard the “attack” from Arms Unfolding XD

I got *unnecessarily* excited when I heard the “attack” from Arms Unfolding XD


Omg, I'm from Poland and learning that you're quarter-Polish makes me love you even more! <3 Can't wait for the EP!


when i was young, i was a very weird child and always got into things. so, one day after school my mother told me to go upstairs and clean my room. i went upstairs into my room and quickly got distracted. i had makeup in my room, so instead of cleaning my room i put lipgloss all over my face. didn't miss one spot. i heard my mother call me, she obviously knew something was going on. i walked downstairs, put my diva face on ( i thought i looked fabulous. ) and walked up to my mom. she busted out laughing and asked me what happened. i told her the story while she went to get a wipe to clean my face. she came back into the room, sat down and started cleaning my face. after a while, she looks at me, giggles, then says that she can't get it off and i had to go to school like that. <br>what a fun time.

ok google  😂 How did people at school react?


Just listened to the whole ep. beautiful job dodie. I loved every second of it


I love when you do these facts videos.  Learning about you, your life childhood etc is so charming and endearing !


Ahh I love this so much. Just wanna grab my cup of tea, get into bed and listen to more of these stories


Kids always do the weirdest and funniest things that seems so normal for them 😂 I love these little dodie stories!


When I was little, I used to pretend to be a fairy who could travel between different realities through mirrors. I would imagine to live a different life. Thinking about it, that's pretty damn dark lol


The harmonies with yourself are just gr8


That story with your grandad was funny 😂 I'm polish so I can imagine that the polish food can be surprising sometimes :D


Aw this is probably one of my favorite videos from you, it's so cute, sincere, nostalgic and real and relatable; childhood memories are the best thing


I’m listening for the words that are sung


this was so entertaining I feel like I was hanging onto your every word lol


Oh my days your ABBA thing reminded me that when I was little I thought the line “walking through an empty house” was walking through a Wendy house. So I’d always imagine myself in a tiny play house 😂😂


Hi. I'm interested on knowing what happened with your depersonalization/derealization feeling. Did you get over those? If so, what did you do?
Hope you reply because you just described the feelings exactly as the ones I am experiencing.
Thanks.


I always watch your videos when I feel lost or down and you make me feel calm and like everything going on with me is okay, and I’m so so so grateful for that xxx


7:31 ok this is creepy. I used to do almost the exact same thing. Minus Frankie lol. Me and my sister called them falling competitions. We would take it in turns creating a character and acting out a scene. The scene would always end with us walking to the edge of the sofa, standing on the arm and falling down dramatically onto the sofa. Then we would vote on which one of us preformed the best. The fact you did a very similar to this has rendered me speechless 😂😂 HOW?!


OMG IM CRYING LAUGING FROM THAT FIRST STORY ABOUT SHOWERING

Sophia Wilson going full crab made me cry so much


When you mentioned your obsession with fire, it reminded me of my obsession with fire as well. Which is where this story is based on:
I was in either elementary or middle school when I was home alone in the house. My older sister and step-brother were at school, my mom and step-dad were at work, and my younger brother was at daycare. For some odd reason, I loved playing with lighters and turning them on and off repeatedly. One day, an idea went off in my young mischievous mind: "I should set something on fire." Of course, not wanting to get into too much trouble, I used a paper towel. I clicked the lighter on, held the flame closer and closer to the cloth before... it caught ablaze. I watch, amazed and entranced by the flames gliding across the paper towel. It sure was a sight to be seen. Before you know it, I set more things on fire. Eventually, I come to something that had a very pungent smell once burnt. I quickly brought it outside, not wanting anyone to know what I've done.
Fast forward a couple of hours and my mom gets home. The burning smell slaps her in the face and she catches on to what I've done. She calls me downstairs and asks if I was responsible. Like any child would, I denied my sins before eventually giving in.

It was a crazy day.


0:15 I hear ya singing 😆 anyone else just watched her video about her new song arms unfolded


dodie, thank you for being such a wonderful human being ❤


I’m in a really rough place in my life right now and very few things make me laugh or feel better but this did, and thank you dodie we love you


I love you Dodie! Thanks for all of the wonderful art that you have brought into this world.  You are such an amazing person! ❤❤❤


I love this video. It feels like a sleepover. And it so comforting and happy and calm and nice. I love it. <br>Thanks Dodie.

i needed this video and being able to listen to you telling stories today. thank you dodie. ❤


I love you so much. I don’t feel super good these days and sitting and watching you felt calming and gave my brain a break. Thank u ❤


Woman: “What’s this child doing?”
Dodie: “I’m just washing my areas MANN”
😂😂😂 I freaking love dodie!!

Tsavorite Stardust its a contraction of Madam :) x

@Bathroom Jams Yeppp. Preeety weird honestly though, like... is it a contraction? Who knows. I just know because I spelled it wrong on this big writing assignment in fifth grade.

Tsavorite Stardust hahah, is it actually? 😂

Ma’am actually!! I don’t know why it’s spelled like that but yeah

AllNamesAreJustTaken oops, thank you!! Hahah


I was about to admit myself because of dodie withdrawals. Thank you, dods!! Ps I was a swimmer too! Actually, we are very similar, but anyway have a good one!!


The bedsheets! 😂 „Mom‘s gonna love it“ and this look when you said. „You’re welcome, mom.“ 😄 Love it!


Didn't thought I could relate to you as much as ~all the feels your music makes me feel. BUT, this video just came and got me by the heart.


1. This video helps me fall asleep every night, and your videos generally have helped me get through some tough times and face my feelings, thank you 🙏 <br>2. my big sister and I would do the Frankie thing EXACTLY the same, except we would say ‘HAA-HOOMPH!’ And then fall onto my parents mattress. Good times :)

You seem so happy in this video, and while I can’t know if you are for sure, it’s so great!  I love this video ❤❤


this was a great video dodie, very calming as always. i love it ! :)


My go to story to break the ice was always “I shaved my tongue once when I was 3 or 4” and never explain because some things are always more fun left unexplained


aw i love hearing you just. talk. i do the same thing to whoever will listen, and it must be really cool to have an audience so engaged in what you're saying! this was adorable, i loved it <33


so i wasn’t the brightest child and as a kid i liked to run around with a pillowcase on my head, i’m not sure why but it was my favorite thing. this ultimately ended up in me tripping (because i couldn’t see) and i hit my face on the corner of the radiator in my sisters room. now i have a nice scar and an uneven lip to remind me😂

tears are actually streaming this is so funny

natalie • hahahah😂😂(that made me genuinely laugh, thank youu)


omg i used to pretend i was the only magical one in my class too!!! except i lived in a big glass ball at the back on the class not a tent lol and there would always be an earthquake and the yard would split in half and id have to save everyone with my powers and then id faint and they’d carry me back to my glass ball home


I'm hearing secret lyrics again and also ur freakin awesome u inspire me 😁


i literally loves this your little dodie facts video is one of my favorites. i really like the concept of you “remaking” a bunch of your old vids!


You are so wonderful! You have been such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for all you do both in your songwriting and how you talk about the importance of mental health issues and acceptance


as a kid my sister convinced me I was going to turn into a mermaid and so, like in h2o, I wouldn’t let myself touch water in public and if I did I would just RUN

I loved H2O as a kid. I remember how shocked I was when my sister told me that it was just a TV show and mermaids don't actually exist. I couldn't believe her. Then I told my friend in kindergarten and she couldn't believe as well 😁


this was so therapeutic, thanks dodie!!💛🌻


I’ve never confessed this before so like here I go ig
So when I was in first grade, the coolest girls would not go to the bathroom the whole entire school day. They went. The whole day. Without peeing. So, I wanted to be cool and I didn’t pee for the whole day, even we had a bathroom break, I would skip it and join the cool girls over in the line. Then, the end of the day came, and I really, really had to pee. I got up to ask the teacher if I could use the restroom, and as I was waking over to her, I peed. Just straight up, peed all over the floor. My friend was like, gasp “u peed!!” I blamed it on a juice box and went home crying and my parents couldn’t find out why.

double bubble disco queen omg this reminds me of the time I was in 1st grade and had to go out in the snow. It was super cold (nearly -20 Celsius) so my mum gave me this red jumpsuit thing to wear outside that protected me head to toe. The problem was that I had diarrhoea. Needless to say, it didn’t end well 😂


I’m here trying to figure out all the words Dodie sang in each video to match Arms Unfolding.😂😂


5:00 that same thing happened with me and my friend in year 3, we were eating all the ice cream with chocolate sauce in the tub at 1am and her mum walked in and just went "oh i used to do that" and left


i love love love your sit-down and talk videos so much. they make me smile a whole lot!!! thank you dodie!


i really reallyyyy love it when dodie adds harmony randomly 💖😂


i was having a rough day. this helped me a lot. your videos always do


After watching this video, i have realised that we are, in fact, the same person


When I was little I liked to walk around my house with a mirror in my hands and imagine I was walking on the ceiling. You just remind me that, thank you for that


I used to pretend I had a gardening show when my parents were staying late after church and all of my friends had gone, and I'd dig up the soil from one garden and move it to another and "classify" plants with "scientific names"


thanks for sharing these cute and silly stories haha. it makes me feel kinda relieved to hear that i wasnt the only super wierd kid on this panet


I'm sooo soo excited for Human. You never cease to put a smile on my face when I see a notification from this channel


my fam is Polish and my mum loves ox tongue SO MUCH and that reaction you did to you eating it is me, thank you for understanding

SUPER hyped for the EP btw


Thanks for this video, I needed a laugh 😂<br>I used to throw myself off of things to see how it felt. I also used to lick cars to see how they tasted... I was a curious child.    We used to move a lot as children so my three siblings and I would each make a box fort/house in the same room but then use the landline phones to call and talk to each other.

i’m starting to get the feeling we’ve had very similar childhoods


I'm the youngest (out of 7) in my family and I always had to go to bed early, but I wanted to still be in the conversation so basically, what I did up until I was like four years old was I would sit beside my bedroom door, which was left open cause I was scared of the dark, and listen to my family downstairs. Except then I would fall asleep and my parents always had to be super careful when they opened the door cause they accidentally hit my head as they pushed it open (honestly explains a lot).


I love how it feels like dodie is just sitting with us, telling these stories :) the way she tells stories is really captivating and charming


This entire video was so entertaining, I love it ! :))


I had an imaginary friend when I was younger named M. He was a small little ghost looking thing. He was always so nice. M was basically a ghost with two different sized and colored eyes. He didn't have hair or real arms or legs. He was a literal ghost.

M and I used to play all the time until people got concerned about me. They thought that he was like real for me. He was completely imaginary but still he was a real friend. He was one of my good friends tho


I always feel happy and at ease when I watch your videos


i sob from happiness whenever somebody adds subtitles to their videos❤❤❤


When I was younger I often saw my mum smack my dad’s butt or the other way around and they told me that it was just a form of a joke. Then, when I was making new friends at a new school I decided that I’d smack their bottom and to make a long story short that did not end well. Thanks mum and dad!

Similar thing happened to me except I'd join in with my parents.... Wasn't til I was older when I realised how weird it was

Mary Mitchell OMG ahaha we used to do that in my old school, I remember these younger kids thought it would be funny to do it to me (I was a lot older) and OOF it did not end well.


We have weirdly similar childhood experiences 😂 I broke my finger catching a rounders ball when I was like 14. Also I have to slice ox tongue at work, it really is so gross lol


Ok so I was a pretty strange kid so here's a compilation of my favorite and weirdest memories from my childhood!

1. I invented a game with my sister where she would sit in her bed that was across from mine and we would throw our stuffed animals at each other frantically trying to get them on the other bed, and if they fell on the floor, they would "die" but we could continue to throw it again as "the corpse" until it would hit the floor again and then they would be "disqualified" to continue playing. You won by having more stuffed animals with "lives" still in them... idk

2. I used to make weird "milkshakes" as snacks for me and my sister that consisted in basically whatever my 9yr old brain thought was delicious. I once put 3 types of cereal, cookies, two types of milk, sugar, cocoa powder and ice into the blender and called it a cereal milkshake. I had a stomach ache the entire morning lmao

3. I would offer to help my sister with her homework just to tell her the wrong answers but I'd make them so ridiculous like this one time she had to fill the blanks and I would just make words up. As I was the older, "wiser" sister she'd believe me until I eventually told her and she'd get frustrated lol at least I didn't let her take the homework like that to school...

4. When I didn't want to do my chores, I'd tell my sister to do them for me and in exchange, I'd make her a sandwich with "magic spread" which consisted of just cocoa powder with a few drops of water to make a paste lmaoooo and this was specially hilarious because my sister loved chocolate spread or nutella but my mom would never buy it for us so she was convinced I was able to magically make a type of "nutella" for her and it was just watered down cocoa powder omfg.

there ya go kids enjoy!

Ornella  Number 3 reminds me of me and my sister. So I am the younger one and English isn't my native language. My sister started to learn English earlier and she used to show me her textbooks and "translate" words and sentences into really stupid stuff and of course I would believe her that it was actually in her textbooks. I wish I remembered any examples of her fake translations because it must have been really funny 😁


This video uses two methods to promote her EP:
first: we are all human, even dodie was a child who did weird stuff. it's okay to be a weird child!
second: showcase dodie's amazing vocal abilities and creative musicality through simple but very effective moments.

i love u dodie, if u are reading this i just wanna say, keep being you cause you inspire me to wake up every day and continue to live. Looking forward to the EP!!!


i would do this too as a child.<br>did anyone else imagine that raindrops where racing?

i would do this too as a child.
did anyone else imagine that raindrops where racing?


I just discovered you and I love you . Keep singing sweet sings 🎶


LMFAOOOO that make laugh so hard!!  Cannot wait for the EP love! 💕


One time in primary school i convinced myself that my classmates could read my thoughts. I was so scared and cried so hard my mum had to bring me home...

My anxiety manifested very young 😋
Good luck with your EP! Cant wait to see you in March 😁


The fire thing I think is pretty normal actually 😂 I remember setting a piece of kitchen roll alight and freaking out. I also had no friends at school, I would have loved to be friends with 8 year old Dodie!


when i was little my favorite thing to do was see how quickly and quietly i could run through the house and pretend that i was flying


when i was like in year 5 or 6 i had this imaginary boyfriend named griffin and i would pretend to hold hands with him as i walked to school every morning and wave him goodbye before i hopped on the train. but this isn’t the only moment i had imaginary people in my life. in year 2 i had imaginary twins and i would walk around school and pretend to push them in their pram. then i would sit at the back of the classroom to make sure i had “enough space for their rockers”. this is embarrassing haha


I literally can't help but smile every time I watch your videos

Your EP comes out on my birthday!! ✨ I'm turning 22 and I absolutely can't wait 💖 what a birthday present!!!


I preordered the EP like 2 months ago XD I love youuuu and im so glad i can support you by getting your musiccccccccccc


I think one of my funniest/weirdest memories as a kid was tieing my beanie babies to a post outside then pretending I was a magic superhero and I had to defeat all the invisible bad guys and save them! Also I used to climb that same lampost too, because I could. 😂 I think we all did weird things as a kid lol, thanks for sharing! 💙


human is gonna kill me and that's the tea

My slow brain understood this as you telling us that someone's going to kill you... Before I realized that "Human" is Dodie's album 😂😂


When I was little I used to call my soother/pacifier my ‘dodie’.


I was feeling really down and sad, and thought to go to YouTube to listen to your music, cuz that cheers me up, gives me reason to live. And when searching "Dodie" this gem came up. Thank you. Gonna listen to your music now.


The candle/fire/tissue thing happened to me too! Except it landed on my hard wood floor so I smacked it with a shoe. I also left a candle burning and when I came back the wax had melted all the way down and dripped down my wardrobe. Fun times as mini pyromaniacs


I remember thinking "oh my god its like 6 months till Dodie's EP HOW am I EVER going to survive that????" and now im like "what the fuck one day im not ready wait"


Yessss I used to do that when I was little. I would look out the window pretending I was in a movie or a music video 😂😂


since she didn't say it,, I guess I will

like it if you liked it if you'd like

Yas that makes me sad that you don’t know that

She used to say that at the end of her videos

Yas oh this makes me sad<br>She hasn’t said this in a very long time :(

Yas oh this makes me sad
She hasn’t said this in a very long time :(


Dodie gives me hope for my own future, you've come so far and at 17 making my own videos and hoping for a career as a musician, you having so much success brings me a great deal of happiness. Can't wait for human btw!!


When I was a kid, I had a really weird obsession with hot chocolate, but I’d hate drinking it out of dark colored mugs. It either had to be a white mug or just poured into a glass cup because I was “scared of the skeleton in the bottom when I finish drinking.” Needless to say, that “skeleton” was just my distorted reflection 😂


Are messy buns replacing Dodie yellow as your new trademark??

Adele Parli lol me neither, it reminds me of what all the popular girls looked like c. 2014 in my school (yikes). I always thought it was ridiculous and imagined a tiny little goblin nesting inside them that controlled them like in men in black 😂

Nothing can ever replace dodie yellow; they can only accompany dodie yellow.


I was actually so similar to you as a child! Obviously not everything is the same but almost all of it was similar. I too was a pyromaniac only I set a rug on fire, thankfully I managed to blow it out as well.


haha, so when I was around four years old I was convinced that I was a mermaid and could breathe underwater. I thought I would test it out. It did not go well... 😂


who else is binging all of dodie’s videos after her musical scrapbook video and looking for all the lyrics??? <br>what a clever cookie

what a clever cookie


make more videos like this you’re a good storyteller


on friday i can add "she" to my crying playlist and i'm very excited about it

she smells like lemongrass and sleep
she tastes like apple juice and peach
you would find her
in a polaroid picture
cos she
means everything to me


You were even more adorable as a kid than you are now! Cant wait for Human!


That beautiful harmony in the beginning❤


I remember when I was little there used to be days in primary school where everyone would try and get these two random people to get married and everyone would make a big thing about it and use “magical powers” to make a really nice wedding for them. My year were really strange.


You don’t understand how bloody excited I am to be seeing you live like ahhhhh


Omg I love you and I love that you’re also (kinda) Polish amd have a polish grandfather who feeds you weird shit - mine would tell me something’s beef/chicken and would feed me kangaroo or crocodile or something 😂 also thank you for being such an amazing human AND I CANT WAIT FOR YOUR EP !!!!! ❤


I can listen to your voice all day. There's nothing like it. I didn't get the video clip but your songs are fascinating as usual. You're inspiring


Sounds like a pretty normal childhood 😅 (also can't wait for the ep)


I actually did the exact same thing in primary school, except I had a magical amulet that gave me the ability to change into any animal, and everyone loved me for it. It was great 😂


I was slightly freaked out when you said "Frankie" but now I can have you saying my name anytime I want and that is wonderful because your voice is so nice and soothing


I would look out the window at night and hum just like you. 💕


Dodie, the washing the private area had my first laugh of the day. That story was great. Omg


I remember doing the magical power thing, but actually all of my friends thought we had magical powers, and the whole premise was all of us controlled an element (pretty sure we took this from a book), and we would literally go to the park for hours until we were 10-11 and just imagine we were fighting monsters and saving the world. (I also had an obsession with fire, so my element was fire lmfao)


there was this Disney movie called bednobs and broomsticks but I couldn’t say that so I called it dob dobs and and we saw the actress in said movie and 4 year old Bella ran up to her and screamed at her DOB DOBS and my mum looked at her in pure embarrassment and that is my first memory lol


you seem happy and honestly that's just all I want for you


You are my favorite person on YouTube also you being so open about your sexuality has helped me come to terms with my being gay so thank you


i swear dodie can make anything and everything she does sound interesting and funny


silently waits for you to hit one million subscribers

Your videos help me through hard times, they always have. Much love always 💛

Making a Build-A-Bear is literally the most magical process ever!


Yes yes yes yesssss getting to know things we didn’t know before 🧡


"some like child psychologist is gonna look into this and be like .. hm .. interesting .."<br>Don´t worry dodie, as a soon to be child care professional, I can say that you were a pretty normal kid ^^

When I was 9, I wrote out the lyrics to this is me from camp rock & I sung it to my then crush in the school playground and pretended I wrote it myself 😂🤦🏼♀ he must’ve lived under a rock bc he believed me hahaha


Her harmonies in the beginning of her videos give me so much life


I just drooled all over myself when you talked about that public shower part 😂😂


DODIE THE EP IS AMAZING. Like, seriously amazing. I can't stop listening to it. The songs She and Burned Out are ESPECIALLY ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. (I mean, I already knew they were incredible.) BUT THE RECORDINGS ARE INCREDIBLE. Bahhh I have no words.


"Ox tongue", I choked on that!

Also YAS NEW EP!!!!! 💜💙💜💙


I got so excited when she said her grandpa was Polish and I expected that he'd give them some pierogi, bigos or whatever, but no. And now everyone thinks Poles eat ox tongues. Thanks Dodie

I used to do the music video thing as well!!! Glad I’m not alone. Love your videos <3


I love your imagination, very similar to mine and my sisters. Your childhood sounds very normal to me!  (Except washing your genitals in a public shower; that bit's a little weird! xD )


when i used to get mad at my mum, i'd say i was going to love with 'margaret from down the road' and go and pack my bags. margaret didn't exist and to this day i don't know why that was the name that i chose or why i had such a vivid belief that she really existed


We once made midnight brownies when I was 11-12 and cleaned up so well my friends mom had no idea and didn't quite believe us when we bragged about it the next morning


you always seem to make my day. your hair and voice and face and hand motions r so cute


“But I was obsessed with like fire, I was one of those kids” I’m actually dying laughing because same! Me and my sister used to have this club called ‘secret candle club’ where my parents thought we just sat around a candle and told secrets and sang songs. We did that but at the same time staring at the fire and my sisters hair falling in every now and then and setting on fire. We stopped the club when it burnt my favourite bookmark and I was sad.


“I guess it was self defence?!” I see u dodie 😂🥰


Sometimes when I can’t sleep I put on longer videos of dodie talking because her voice has this cadence and is very soothing to me.


i love you more than <b>anything</b> you’re the sweetest bean in the universe.💕💗💞

i love you more than *anything* you’re the sweetest bean in the universe.💕💗💞


SO EXCITED FOR YOUR EP!

Who’s with me?!

SO EXCITED FOR YOUR EP!

Who’s with me?!


Everyone: where's magical dodie?!
Dodie: hey... Hey guys...
Everyone: hey dodie


I know it may sound silly but when I heard "my granddad is polish," I smiled broadly. I'm from Poland and it's just so lovely that your grandfather is from here, Poland can not wait for you! And love you with our polish hearts ♥


OMG DODIE, you have to know that I am from Chile and the obvious thing is that your art cross the entire world to arrive to south America. As your fan I can tell you that I freaking love u girl, nice video btw <3


Man, I was a pretty weird kid too..

When I went to bed I would face the wall, close my eyes and imagine my wall covered in CD's that were numbered 1-30. Every night I would pick one and each one was a different dream.

Can't believe I'm sharing this with the internet.


wOAH the little harmonies at the beginning were such a good surprise


I bought your album bundle and I am so excited!


It's so crazy to me how many of those things I also did as a child (or something similar) like we live in completely different places and had entirely different upbringings and yet we still had similar day dreams as children


When I was a kid, I had a theory that there was still school on the weekends but like everyone I knew collectively agreed to lie to me about it.


After hearing the magical dodie story now i want dodie cast as the 14th doctor


I enjoyed secretly dancing ballet in my living room when no one was watching. This day I was doing spins and I bumped into a desk and dropped a lot of glass stuff. Turns out my mom was secretly watching me secretly dance and not so secretly break everything


whenever i was in a pool in an inner tube i would spin around in it and imagine that i lived inside it, and would have to run circles in it whenever someone was spinning it like i did.


Dodie, i just love how your mind is working.🙆
You can make somany beatiful things up i just love everything you said about having powers and pretending your in a spaceship👽🚀🌌
It just takes me back to all the good times when i was younger😄❤


I was really obsessed with Douglas Adams stuff as a kid because my dad had a lot of his books lying around and the original Hitchhikers Guide TV series and Radio series.<br>I also used to write a lot about all sorts of random shite and create a lot of my own weird worlds. I'm a music journalist now, go figure hahaha.

please do a lil updated room tour dodie!! i have the same bed cover and i’m inspired to redecorate my room, and i love the little glimpses we get of your room in your videos!


lol I came back here and I'm reading all of the funny anecdotes and all I can add is that I used to torture ants when I was like 6.


I find it so entertaining that you guys would “iron” out her bed like what a cute gesture


Similar to your candle story, I was also obsessed with fire. I really liked lighting matches and watching them burn all the way down, sometimes I would gather a bunch of old matches and try to set them all on fire to watch them all burn at once.
But one day (I think I was about ten) that wasn't satisfiying enough for me, so I grabbed a tissue, set it on fire, and dropped it.
What I hadn't anticipated was how quickly the tissue would burn, so I was still holding it when I set it on fire. It startled me, and I dropped it on the ground. Now, I was doing this in the living room (because that's where the matches and the candles where) and it was fairly late at night. I don't remember the exact time, but everyone in my family was either in their rooms or asleep (i mean, if they were asleep they would be in their room, but... You get my point). No-one knew I was doing this, so I started panicking thinking the house was gonna burn down.
Interesting note about the living room at that time, we had the carpet, then this scratch mat on top in one area (because we had cats), thankfully it was on this area I dropped the tissue. Most of the tissue had burnt away, but there were still a couple of embers, I remember I was too scared to blow on it (because blowing on it feeds the flames, I learnt that in cubs) and I wasn't wearing shoes or socks, so I couldn't stamp on it.
And if memory serves correctly, I, in my infinite wisdom, attempted to smother it with a pillow. Which must have worked, because the house didn't burn down. I cleared up the matches and the tissue, and went to bed. Haven't litten a tissue on fire since.


I just.... I just like the sound of your voice. ☺


When I was little I fantasised about having magical powers but I wanted to burn down the school with all the teachers and students I didn't like in it and everyone who thought it was a bad idea would be set on fire. I also thought about being able to teleport and in the middle of assembly I would imagine teleporting away to a beach with my friends... I hated school


when i was had these little characters and worlds that i would escape to when i was bored (think imaginary friends but there’s these scenarios with them inside your head, so realistic it could be a movie) and i recently realized it hadn’t really stopped since i was a tot. so i looked it up and asked a professional and turns out it’s called maladaptive daydreaming! i still do it and ive seen a lot of people describing it on this comment section so i thought id mention it!


i love this! my mom tricked me into eating cow tongue once and i just about vommed lol


When I was a child (kinda also now) . I used to pretend I was famous and answer interview questions about my new movie or album lol anyone else ...

@haylee me and my friend would do this to selena gomez songs. And she had a very stable big couch table which was our stage and then we would close the curtains and turn on thos little disco lights that kids have. It was so cool ^^

I used to dance on my coffee table and sing to all the Miley Cyrus CDs and pretend I was a famous pop star and Hannah Montana was my best friend

Right? Whenever I feel sad I imagine myself 5 years from now saying “oh yes that was a rough time, but I got through it” and then the audience claps lmao it’s so melodramatic

Ngl I still do that, it’s a good way to cheer yourself up when you feel demotivated

I still do that 😂 and I do it all with a English accent


Me and my two friends when I was around 10 years old were always playing medieval fantasy make-believe. There was construction happening next door and so we found these large river rocks. My friends were convinced they were elves and that these rocks were dragon eggs. One of my friends actually had a fit and started crying because if she left her “dragon egg” alone then it would die. Meanwhile I didn’t want to spend the whole afternoon watching a rock in her closet so I was temporarily shunned by them because I “didn’t believe”.


Anyone else coming Back to her videos after The arms unfolding announcement and trying to pick up The singing?


One of my bed time rituals when I was younger was to pretend I was going to a blockbusters and picking a “movie” starring me (ex: I was a mermaid princess or I was a badass witch) and I would try my hardest to dream about it. Never really worked due to my mild insomnia that kept me awake :( oh well 😊


Woah! I just reheard the "self-defense"! Great job hiding it, I had no idea!


I seriously thought you were wearing glitter under your eyes and then I realized it’s actually makeup, small spots and bright lighting. The point is, you are a really beautiful human.


This is so cute I love this video 💖 I love you. And your ep. I promise I will buy it soon bc I can’t live without it


When I was a child I was also really into candles and wax and fire and one day I started making like a little campfire out of matches in one of those metal tins small candles come in and the heat melted a permanent bubble in the fake-wood table and I wasn't allowed near candles anymore.


This video made me feel like I just had a conversation with dodie..... It's magic how she does that!


I love this so much can you please make more?


dodie, stop seducing me with your childhood stories


When I was younger I would sneak into the garden with a piece of bread and my nan's lighter to make toast.  I relate to the fire thing a lot.


How do you have this many memories from your childhood??


I love the way you speak! You’re kind of magic


"Set tissue on ~fire~" was that a lyric to your new song Dodie, it sounded very musical haha


Not even two minutes in and I'm dying of laughter!


Already pre ordered it!! And loads of your merch!!


When I was a child my Nan and grandad owned a narrow boat. I remember I used to sit out the front with my Nan and stand up and yell at my grandad whenever we went through tunnels. Other times I would pretend to ‘see’ Ariel in the water 😂😂


this made me smile sm!! i have solo and ensemble on friday and will be occupied with that all day but i promise i’ll listen when i get home!! i’ve been waiting for your ep for FOREVER! ly <3


who else is going back and listening for hidden lyrics? SNEAKY DODIE


when i was little, dogs would walk by our house and i’d run to the window, pounding my fists on the glass screaming “DOGDOGDOGDOGDOG” like a demon


pleeeeease can we have some more dodie asmr. loved the video btw :))


Dodie. You’re so adorable. And younger you was also adorable. WHY WTH I LOVE YOUUUU🤩🤩


I used to walk into my room as if I was entering the set of a talk show. I would sit on my bed and answer 'questions' about the 'movie I was in.'

single tear rolls down cheek one day

When I was a little kid I would stick my hands out of the car window every time we drove by a puddle because I wanted to catch a bird (I think I did this because I saw the barbie rapunzel movie and she put her hand in a painting and she brought out a bird so somehow I associated paintings with puddles)

empty sky I know that was my favourite too

Omg the Barbie movies are the best!! My favourite is probably the princess and the pauper because it’s really bad but in a hilarious way and the songs are iconic


I watched a whole TickTock ad just 4 u ❤ wonderful video dodie!


in relation to dodie’s candle story ,

i was one of those strange “let me play with fire” children too . i had a small turtle candle from my cousin . one day, being the stupid child i was , i placed a napkin on top of the candle ( keep in mind , the candle was lit ) . so the napkin caught on fire and being the stupid child i was (x2) , i dropped the napkin onto my carpet and lit a patch of my floor on fire . i had a water bottle beside my bed so i threw the remaining water onto the fire and put it out . when my parents asked me what the burning smell was , i said the turtle candle smelled like something was burning and i walked out of my parent’s with a smug smirk on my face and a patch of burnt carpet on my bedroom floor .

this was years ago , the burnt carpet is still visible , and my parents don’t know a thing .


When I was little me, my cousin, and my sister (mostly me) took all my stuffed animals and made an animal shelter for them and had a little notebook where I wrote down all the names of every animal and pretended we ran the shelter and rescued the animals


one time when I was around 4 or 5, I was watching my older sister (who i idolized) as she got ready to go out. and she wet her brush to untangle her curls. me being the idiot i am, wanted to do everything that she did. sooo i got my brush then hurried to my mom and asked her for chocolate milk. she made me the chocolate milk without really questioning anything. But then when she left I started DUNKING my brush into the glass of chocolate milk and began to brush my hair with it. Needless to say, I was a weird kid.


When I was younger I was an only child so I had a wild imagenation and I once pretended I was climbing a mountain to watch the sun set by climbing up a book shelf and I managed to break the shelf and pull the bookshelf down on myself and I ended up breaking my arm and nose, lucking it only had thin child books so I wasn't crushed by books...


It is weirdly comforting for me to know that someone else on this earth fantasized about both being in a sad music video during late night rainy car-rides AND nearly dying using magic energy to save the whole school


Couldn’t stop smiling while watching this


When i was little (like reeeaally young) i thought the real world used to be in black and white because all the old films/videos from like 100 years ago were black in white.. was i the only one who thought that? 😂

hahaha i did too! And it really made me confused when they said that that wasn't the case because I had watched Wizard Of Oz when I was little and thought that somehow, throughout the process of filming it, colour started to 'bleed' into the world (I didn't realize when the colours had abruptly appeared in the movie XD )


I also used thoroughly wash my “area” by doing a handstand and leaning my legs against the wall.<br>I don’t really remember doing this so I’m not sure if I ever fell but I remember my mom freaking because she saw me do it. Definitely not safe to do handstands in the shower!

that first story honestly made me cackle, my family is asleep, you can’t  do this to me

also: i’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for the human ep!!!


I FOUND THE CRIME FROM “OLD PARTNER IN CRIME IM GOING TO TRY” AHH ARMS UNFOLDING WAS SO GENIUS DODIE YOU’RE AMAZING


Not even 10 seconds into the video I already love it


OMG the shower story!!!! I can't stop laughing hahahaha


when i started first grade i was SO excited. my school had these really cool monkey bars that curved in the middle and on the first day of school i discovered i was the only one who couldn't do them so my parents drove me to school in the evening so i could practice. i tried SO HARD but i kept looking down and falling into the mulch. so at the end of the week, when i finally got it, my little baby legs were all covered in scabs. i went on to be the best at monkey bars ;)


When I was a kid I found a container that my parents were keeping my and my sisters baby teeth in. And instead of assuming that maybe the toothfairy wasnt real I assumed that my parents were serial killers and kept the teeth as trophies. I believed this was true for 3 years until someone told me the toothfairy wasnt real, so instead of being upset I was so relieved that my parents weren't murderers.


My family and I watched movies In my parents room every night so we brought our beddings from our bedrooms upstairs. My sister, brother, and I were walking down the stairs in with our humongous pieces of beddings with me in the front of the line and I dropped a pillow and my sister and brother FELL DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE DOMINOS. I can officially say I broke my sister’s arm


I used to eat animal biscuits.<br>I found the cat ones tastier than the dog ones though.

Sameeee about the playing-a-video-game at the park thing! I used to love the freedom that came with playing all by myself. I remember we had this large baseball field around which was a pathway that no less than 2 kids were allowed to walk round (grade 1) because it was near a forest and there were supposedly raccoons. I begged this one teacher to let me walk alone in the woods (not really "woods" but ykwim) and she asked me "do you have anyone else to walk with?" I said "...I have my imaginary friends?" But she didn't allow it :( but next time round i'd asked a different teacher (like a lil smart cookie) and thought id fooled her by my imaginary friend trick- and i genuinely had many imaginary friends that I would talk to (rn i jus talk to myself instead or pretend im in an interview) and I had never been happier. Fun times


Ohhh I used to do karate when I was younger, I got to a blue belt, too. Just re-started two weeks ago. The palm-of-the-hand-thing can actually damage the brain and lead to death, I never really liked that one. <br>dodie, you're cute and I've been watching your videos for quite a long time. So excited for your new ep!

Interesting fact: I have never broken a single bone in my body, I have gotten a lot of bruises though :)


You are the purest of humans.

When I was little, I apparently used to put on little shows for my Nan. I'd hide behind the curtain and wait for my intro and then out I'd come. I have no memory of doing this at all.


i literally had the exact same fantasy as you with being the only magic kid in school. i think i was usually a superhero in mine but there would be some huge threat that only i could stop & it was like my favorite daydream ever. i also used to convince myself that i went to "spy school" at night like a double-life situation. the only way to get there was by jetpack


When I was really young I got to play Mary in the local church’s nativity but when one of the shepards came up and tried to touch the plastic Jesus doll I shouted ‘get off, that’s my baby’ and pushed him over before running off with the doll


A little while ago I was in the backseat of our car and my dad was driving my brother and I up to the lake (one of the finger lakes in NY, my grandmother owns a little cottage on the lakefront that her children take their families to often) and it was nighttime and the radio was on to some station that played acoustic covers of pop songs and it was raining and it was just do peaceful and safe feeling that I felt like a little kid again, like I was four years old, and it was so nice.<br>Edit: Not quite sure why I wrote this. I suppose I thought of it when dodie said about riding in the backseat of the car at night as a child.

As a small child I wanted a seashell bra for some reason, so I asked for a ‘chest like the little mermaid’s’ for Christmas.

Another time I completely covered my bedroom in talc and tried to convince my mum that it snowed.


Words can't describe how excited I am for your human EP😍😍😍🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼


what a pure little being you are, even with all the crab positions.


came here to find the secret hidden song bits and absolutely pissed myself at "go forth make a teddy bear" dodie u've made my day and i love u


I love staring out the window at night, specially if it's raining. and listening to music, and letting nostalgia wash over me. quite fun and calming actually, i've done that ever since i was like 8? 13 and tradition still going strong

edit: okAy i'm gonna say a childhood story. let's go bois

it was my second year of choir camp, back in 2015- i was 10. i had just met my best friend, somebody who is still one of my best friends to this day. anyways, during polar bear swim (one of the 3 morning activities before breakfast, basically you go down to the lake and swim and normally it's really cold, hence the polar bear part), free time, and at waterfront night we would always go down to the lake and play mermaids together. quite normal, for a 10 year old and almost 10 year old (she was 9 still, birthday's not until october, i still never let go of the fact i'm older than her lol). but, on land when we would take a break to build sandcastles and stuff, she would transform into a fairy, and i would transform into a wizard- she wasn't into harry potter just yet, meanwhile i was starting to get obsessed. it was so much fun, and we would do it no matter what. i remember one day it was cold, probably in the 60s F, and we were the only two at the lake during free time (of course two counselors were there too watching us), and i remember as soon as we got back to the cabin from changing, it started raining, luckily we didn't have to wait outside in the rain for dinner. that was a fun time :D


When I was in 1st grade, I broke my collar bone by hanging upside down on one of those igloo looking metal domes with bars. When I showed up to school in a sling, the teachers were convinced I was faking because another girl was also wearing one?? I’ve been confused since


And now you did the car crying thing again for the bulid a problem visual album!😍


OMG when you told that story about the ox tongue all my memories came flooding back. My great Grandpa is Czechoslovakian and makes all kinds of weird food. So when I was about eight or nine he sat me down at the dining room table and told me "try this" so I did. He did not inform me till an hour later that I had eaten cow tongue. I knew it had to be something strange because you could feel the taste buds in your mouth while you were chewing it, very disgusting😂


When I was little, I went to my grandma's once for a while when my parents were away or something, and she gave me a banana. I didn't know where the trash was and I was too scared to ask, so I left it behind her TV on the floor. She found it and she was so mad at meee ahaha and tbh that's some shit I'd still do-- too anxious to ask where the trash is, find somewhere else for it


I know you’re super busy being a super star beautiful musician but I miss you and wish you were more active on YouTube but it just makes the videos you do upload ever so special ❤ ily


I remember in primary school, there were those little play houses on the play ground and my friend and I made an Ice Cream Shop. The gravel was strawberry, the dirt was chocolate and the gravel WITH strawberries was vanilla, oddly. I also remember having turf wars over that house when other kids would take over...and I also remember my friend beating up another kid for taking our ice cream shop in my honor needless to say I was shook (before shook was invented)

Edit: and the kids' payment was woodchips from the ground. How I never got any splinters, we'll never know


feel you on the candle thing<br>this one time i threw a bunch of matches into a burning tealight and then the whole wax caught on fire and blowing wouldnt extinguish it so i just let it burn down and was like "oh well good, nothing happened"... except the tealight stood on my dad's wooden table and left a giant burnmark on it x)

When I was younger( and even today) everybody told me that I swim beautifully weird. When I swim my body full turns on to a mermaid. I’m not pretending to be a mermaid I AM THE MERMAID. I could hold my breathe the longest, I swam the fastest and my whole body would move up and down like the girls from H2O when they swam. And I never really grew out of it 😂


for a little time i had no idea my brother was my brother i just thought he was some cool dude who lived with us XD idk why

Jewwy Meek pffff!! I can’t stop laughing! 🤣


I really loved this wow feelin calmer already


A thing that I did when I was little is that I would imagine myself in a drama movie like The Great Gatsby or something but change the storyline to how I wanted to go and then I would always draw my characters to the way I wanted them to be lmao.

And then I also still have solo arguments with annoying people or just my parents in the shower. Once, there was this lady in a museum and I was looking at some Van Gogh and she quite rudely demanded me to move over or something, I don't really remember now I was like 9 back then, and still to this day, I argue with her and regret how I said nothing and how I should've clocked her lmao


one time my brother threw a frisbee at me when i wasn't ready and i had a black eye for a while lmaoo

LODisamazing i had a sleepover with my 3 best friends on a double bed and i woke up with a black eye :') apparently one of them hit me when i was asleep

When I was little (probably about 3-4) I was chasing my brother around our house. For me it was just for fun and games, like a game of tag. Apparently he didn’t take it that way and started to get freaked out and ran into his room (at the end of a long hallway). He slammed the door behind him, right before I reached it and without enough time to stop. My eye was the same level as the doorknob and it made contact as I ran full force into it. I had a black eye for several days afterward. Even though I was so young I can still remember the incident vividly.

One time our class took a field trip to a camp for three days and there was a field that had a bunch of balls, frisbees and jump ropes. So me and my friend were playing frisbee and I accidentally hit this women in the face (she was fine) and I was just standing there mortified at what just happened so my friend had to apologize for me. Later that day a random frisbee hit me in the face and I got a black eye.

I remember when I was at my cousin's Halloween party and my other cousin shot me in the eye with a nerf gun and gave me a black eye lol

I know the feeling...when I was like 10 we had our cousins over for Thanksgiving and we were playing frisbee and my cousin threw it and it hit me in lip so hard that I couldnt eat Thanksgiving dinner


I have two older brothers, my childhood was full of fun.


I absolutely loved this.
One time, when I was a kid. I was a wee lad. I was only in 2nd grade. Yep, I was pretty tough stuff. I remember we had a bin outside of our classroom that everyone would put their toys into at the beginning of the day that they wanted to bring to recess. And I brought my Spiderman action figure from my Spiderman 2 train set. I was so excited to play with Spiderman, and to show everyone that I loved Spiderman. He had magnets, and I was going to stick him to the big toy (our large, green playground) and everyone would be like, "whoa, he can stick to things." But eventually, recess came around.. And I went out to grab Spidey, and he wasn't there.. so I was sad for a second, and then I completely forgot about it and went and played lightsabers or something with the other kids.. in which I lost multiple limbs mind you...

After recess, we all came back inside to put our toys away, and I saw one kid (I don't even remember who this was) putting my Spiderman toy back in the bin. You might have had mercy on him in this moment, and thought, "everyone loves Spiderman, I can't blame him. Maybe I could make a friend and we would bond over our love for Spiderman!" But not me. I thought, "I could really teach this kid a very important life lesson he'll never forget." And I walked up to him and said, "You really shouldn't play with things that aren't yours, and you really shouldn't borrow things without asking." I scolded him, and I felt good. And he walked away kinda sad and kinda sorry. And to this day I kind of regret being such a bad parent to that other kid at just the age of seven..


When I was little, my brother convinced me to lay down on top of a blanket and fly down the stairs. It wasn't exactly the best protection


dodie! looking out the window and pretending to be in a music video.. I used to do the exact same thing! Also I would pretend I was a character in a book or a movie and I would narrate (in third person) everything I did in my head as went lol


Anyone one else dying waiting for the new EP?????

BECAUSE I AM


Waking up to this , just send me back. All I did was with my dad n bro. But my dad is dead now. Crying now😢. Thanks dodie


Watching this again and now I hear bits and pieces of Arms Unfolding! Hahahahah


I was an only child and I wanted to have a running race with my dad but he didn't want to so I told him that there's an imaginary boy running next to me, so I did a lap around the field and came back and asked my dad who won 😂


When I was a kid I was burning one of those tiny tea leaf candles in my bedroom. Apparently no one had told me that you can’t put out candles with water 🙄 (how would I know) and so I poured some water from my drink bottle onto the candle and the fire jumped onto the vase of flowers sitting next to it 😂 I was SO confused and freaking out like what the heck do I do and why did this happen?! The flame luckily ended up going out on it’s own. Safe to say I never forgot you can’t use water to put out many fires again...

Oh... so that’s how I set fire to my bed

itmesneha I get why you’d think that cos it was my reasoning behind using the water. But hot wax is like a grease fire on a stovetop. The application of water just makes the fire spread to the surrounding area (anything that will burn).

wait what. i thought water shouldn't be used to put out electric fires. But what's wrong with a small tea light!??


One time in prinary school, one of the kids in my grade got his head stuck in between the monkey bars.

They had to cut off the bars to get his head out


I used to sew pieces of fabric together to make clothes for my teddies :)


6:08
i did the same thing when I was younger, except I got so scared when the tissue caught fire, that I ran into the bathroom and threw it in the toilet. needless to say, I didn’t play with fire and tissues again


love the human ep, and so glad you put bitter content


can't wait for your new ep I'M SO EXCITED


Me, my sisters , and our two friends used to play this game called Benjamin Kill Dude. Whenever my family would go over to their house, once it got dark, we would turn off all the lights, and one of our friends Benjamin would chase us around the dark house. The thing is, though, that he wouldn’t just chase us, he would chase us with a giant ass nerf gun that could hold like a hundred bullets. It was completely stupid and unsafe, but holy heck we loved it lol


Me and my best friend used to play a game when we were in the playground and it started raining, we would pretend that if we got touched by the water we would turn into mermaids so whenever it rained we had to run below trees so we didn’t get wet. It was the most fun game ever!

hihi nope ngl that’s probably where the idea came from 😂


I remember that when I was little and me and my sister played games, when my parents called us down for lunch we would still act as the characters with our fake  american accents while we were eating lunch... We were weird


I used to have 2 imaginary friends and play games with them. I would play memory and then would sit on the seats of each person  that was playing and get into character and try to win for each character haha.


Knew I wasn’t the only person who did the “pretending I was in a video game” thing 😂


DODIE I JUST GOT AN AD FOR OUR EP AND IT SCARED ME BC I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MUSIC JUST MAGICALLY PLAYING 😂😂 luv you so much ❤❤


OMG me and my brother had a similar game to frankie! We used to stand on the edge of the bed and fall down doing silly voices etc and it literally went on for hours like you said it’s funny how kids brains get entertained on so little


I know a lot of people have been making fun of your messy bun hair  recently, but I genuinely want a hair tutorial from you. I would love to see all your recent hairstyles :) also congrats on the ep! <3


I was also obsessed with fire, i one time took my blue pal and set twigs and dry grass in it then put a match to it. I had to grab the hose and quickly put it out, it was melting my pal :(


THE CRYING IN THE CAR THING IS SOMETHING I LITERALLY DID EVERYTIME I WAS IN A CAR ON A NIGHT


YES. I used to think I had the power to move things with my mind


dodie you are amazing you are so beautiful and an amazing singer! thanks for lifting my spirits whenever i feel down. ❤


all the lyrics in this : 0:15 crime, 1:08 without, 2:11 a little, 3:19 live, 4:10 died, 6:11 fire, 6:29 self defence, 6:34 attack, 6:59 walls, 7:35 fall, 8:06 trust, 8:15 you


when I was 6 or 7, my sister and I were outside on the concrete waiting for school to start. Well, my sister pushed me and I fell face first, slamming my nose on the pavement. I looked down and my hands and clothes were absolutely covered in blood. blood was coming out if my nose and mouth and everybody was gathered around in a circle, watching me. For the rest of the school year I would have the worst nosebleeds, sometimes forcing me to leave school.


When I was a kid I used to belive that pollen in flowers was like a hidding place for gnomes and fairies and so I did cry once 'cause my brother jumped on top of a daisy<br>(I was very weird, and still am, but not that way)

(I was very weird, and still am, but not that way)


why r u the bestest story teller of all time im dying of laughter


the damn ironing the bed story had me ROLLING.


Idk why I just remembered this but in Year 5 we saved a whole lot of tadpoles and had to raise them. Only a few survived in to froghood but the first one was named Bob. This happened when everyone had to put a name in to a hat and then our teacher drew a few out of it. We then had to vote on which name we wanted. One of the names was "Bob" and the entire class started chanting for it so our frog was called Bob. Others were then put in the tank but I don't remember their names. Bob died because he was the smallest frog and the others bullied him. It was the saddest moment of Year 5 ngl.


My friends and I would play this game called "Do you love me?" When witch we could only say the phrase "do you love me" to try and make the other person laugh. If you laughed you lost the game.

LilyBell Thomas awe I used to play that as well


Dodie, <br>you are actually the most adorable person ever i stg

Dodie,
you are actually the most adorable person ever i stg


when I was a little kid I found some packs of pads and tampons in the bathroom cupboard and I had no idea what they were but I was fuckin fascinated by them, and I used to sneak to the cupboard and take one out pretty much every time I went to the bathroom for literally no reason other than the fact I really liked taking the wrapping off and trying to work out what they were lmao


When I was a kid I really wanted to be mermaid so bad that I talked my mom into making me a mermaid tail that I would wear when I went swimming


My freshman year I was doing backstage for a show and accidentally lit my hair on fire from a candle while reaching over the table onstage. Needless to say I am very afraid of fire now. My friend still calls me Katniss


aw i got so happy when i got the notification! you're such a lovely human, i adore you!!


also i used to walk around my house with a notebook like a private detective and note down what my family members are doing without letting them see me and describing objects around the house like its a crime scene. (Im a criminal justice major now so funny how life works)


whenever i was in the car, i’d look out the window and pretend there was a cheetah trying to keep up with the car. i’d imagine it jumping onto the roof of other cars to rest and darting around signs and such


This made me miss being a child sm like the simplest things would entertain u and i did like hslf the stuff in this vid. Like the ironing the bed thing was the most satisfying thing


All through elementary school I had one friend who didn’t even go to the same school as me, never fit in and was always shy. I was always the kid that spent all my time reading because I loved it and had no friends. I would spend my summers walking/biking to the library from my house to get the 6 books I was allowed to check out and would read them all within a week or two. Anyway, the trail on the way to the library was super pretty, lots of flowers and plants and trees, squirrels and rabbits running around, a pretty stream, it was awesome. And I always pretended it was a magical land that I had made up like in bridge to terabithia and I used to write in this little diary about all the people that lived there that were my friends and shit 😬😊


One time I did a love spell, which included reading a poem thing by candle light. I set the paper of fire by accident, panicked, threw it in trash. Problem solved? NOPE. The trash can was filled with tissues and paper scraps and it set on fire. OOPS. (The spell did not work)


DODIE I LOVE U thank u for inspiring me to make my own channel ur the bestest ahhh


going to build a bear was <b>definitely</b> a very intimate n loving process 🤧

going to build a bear was *definitely* a very intimate n loving process 🤧


the pool thing reminds me of how when I go to the indoor pool at the gym to swim laps I make up stories for the other people swimming there. when I was younger, I'd swim in the family pool and find other kids to play mermaid games with. One time I met this girl who would go with her mom, who would bring coins to the pool with them. The girl and I would close our eyes and her mom would throw the coin somewhere in the pool and the two of us would have to go find it.


you are actually the cutest human ever and i love your music and videos


I remember in 1st or 2nd grade I pushed this kid off the swing so I could get on it. There was also this time when I was in the car with my stuffed animal (it was a dog) and I remember sticking it's head out the window right as my mum rolled up said window. I almost cried


That little tune is literally my favourite bit of the eyebrows video


Omg a very similar thing happened with me with the candle thing. My brother and I used to always light small pieces of fabric on fire with a candle and immediately blow it out. It kinda became a habit of mine whenever I lit a candle. One day, when I was probably about 9, I was about to take a bath and I lit a candle. Because it was a habit, I picked up a napkin that was sitting in the bathroom for some reason and lit it on fire without thinking, but instead of a tiny flame that usually accompanies the fabric, the whole napkin was ablaze in less than a second. I freaked tf out and threw it in the sink and turned on the faucet but it would not go out. After frantically blowing on it for like 30 seconds it finally went out. I never anything with a candle again lol.


When I was 2 I used to sing ABBA too and I sung the album 😂😂 there are videos of me doing it lol


Your brows look so good omg also, I love your long hair 🥰


Me and my best friend used to have this weird role playing phase where we pretended to be jesus’ sisters?? Daughters?? Idk man.. and we’d be sent on these missions to earth to just live as ‘normal’ teenagers (we had very interesting ideas on what teenagers did with their life).


from year 2 to year 6, me and one of my best friends from primary school created this entire imaginary world called super force, with established characters and rules and villains, and we would play that pretty much every lunch time with each lunchtime being like a new episode where we would have to defeat a different bad guy each time. It was pretty epic ngl and it had a running storyline that lasted over 4 years so it was pretty good lmaooo


your fire story reminded me of when my stepsisters and i would play "olden times" and we would dress up in giant costume skirts and pretend we were living in the 1600s or something, and there was a time we wanted to make a piece of paper look old so we tried to just singe it a little bit on a candle and blow it out, but we dropped the paper and it fuckin SET THE FLOOR ON FIRE and our parents came home to a lovely giant scorch mark in my stepsister's room that stayed there im sure long after we moved out :)


I was obsessed with Abba as a kid haha, I never understood any of the lyrics though 😂 my sister was a fire kid, I liked to cut things up with scissors I'm not sure which is creepier


honestly, shared some of these experiences as a child, especially the car window n build a bear one lol, essex gals unite


i love you so much???? you're the best human ever, i hope the rest of your life is full of joy and beautiful things (just like you!) ❤❤❤

and your dad sounds like the sweetest man wtf can he adopt me


When I was five years old or so, I had one of those creepy baby dolls where if you turned it upside-down it would start to cry. My twin brother and I for some reason found this really funny and decided that it would be even funnier if we would make the doll “dance” while it was crying. One day, we’re sitting in our bedroom playing with the doll and my brother goes to take it out of my hands. Me being the annoying five-year-old I was, tried to pull the doll away from him, only for him to let go and send the babydoll’s head straight into my teeth, knocking out my front tooth.


I ate the fuzz off of q-tips when I was little and I’d throw a fit if my mom didn’t let me eat them 😂


In NYC there used to be a huge toy store... I was in the LEGO section and my WHOLE FAMILY literally walked away without me! I was so scared and I was looking around everywhere! I finally found my family by the build a bear! 😂

Pfms Paigey <br>Lol my brother’s the opposite. As a child he always wanted to wander off on his own in a store. Eventually we learned that we could find him on the toy aisle, looking at the legos.

Wow so many of your stories correlated with stuff I did as a kid!


When I was about 4, I had issues with going to the toilet on time. I would almost always leave it to the last second, but usually made. This time, I really needed to take a dump, but waited too long. I sprinted to the bathroom, ripped of my pants and pressed up against the wall in the hopes that doing so would prevent me from pooping on the floor. It didn't exactly go to plan though. I turned around a few seconds later to find a giant turd sticking to the wall. Apparently my mum still has the photo somewhere.


I was in a study room trying not to show that I was actually on youtube but that first story just killed me


I wanna appreciate how long her hair is now I remember the last time she cut it and it’s sooo long now


Once when I was 5-6 I was with my dad and sister at Walmart and I got upset my dad didn’t get me the cereal I wanted. So I just stood in the isle next to the cereal and pouted. My dad took my little sister to another isle and I stayed in the cereal isle, pouting. After like 2 minutes I got scared and asked a lady to help me find my dad. He was getting milk with my sister and started laughing when I came around the corner with this random lady. My dad found it hilarious and, to this day, still laughs about it.


when i was a kid me and my friends played this weird game where one of us was on the verge of death and the other was a doctor trying to save them and the other was the mom crying for her kid about to die.....we were weird


i had the eyebrow song stuck in my head for days after that vid i am so happy you reminded me of it

i had the eyebrow song stuck in my head for days after that vid i am *_so_* happy you reminded me of it


i’m so glad i’m not the only one who thought i had super powers and played pretend so much aaaaaa


when i was little i took on this persona of an old woman. strange i know. it actually lasted quite a long time. i would hunch over and toddle around calling everyone “sonny” in a low raspy voice. “back in my day..” was another common occurrence for this old woman.


Dodie I can’t express how much I love you 💓


when i was a kid my old school had a bench across the back of the playground and there were berry trees standing above the bench.

now, i did not eat these berries.

no. i would pick them, put them in a huge pile, stomp on them, then parade around the playground with purple footprints trailing behind me.

i got in huge trouble for picking the berry trees.


Little did she know, a further 4 hours would be spent making this video and she spent 6/10 of them crying


when I was around 2, I never wanted to go with my parents to take my brother anywhere (he's 3.5 years older than me so would have been 5/6 ish), so when he would have swimming lessons or we'd go pick him up from school, I would just strip completely naked because I came to the conclusion that they wouldn't take me anywhere whilst I was naked (which was right, until one time my dad just took me into the reception of our local swimming pool whilst I was completely naked and I was super embarrassed lmao)


When I was little and it was sunny out during lunch time at school, my friend and I used to pretend our shadows were demons from hell and that they were chasing us. When we got to the end of the school yard we’d change direction to where the shadow was infront of us and pretend to chase them back to where they came from, hell. I guess looking back it’s a tad fucked up.


As a kid I thought the „I’d play around and have a ball“ line in Money Money Money referred to organising an actual ball where people come to dance. Ya know, like in the fairytales where the princess meets to prince. :D


I used to pretend that I was a famous singer and I interviewed myself in my bedroom, I talked about my new single, my new album and the tour that I was going to made, I sang my newest song and I received a lot of awards.


When I was in school I use to imagine there were Stormtroopers (from Star Wars, not Germany) blasting their way through our hallways and I was the only kid that had a blaster and could fight back.


When I was a smol kid, I would always go to her house after kindergarten and after lunch she'd leave me in the living room to watch TV, which i got bored of quite quickily. There was a coffee table with glass in the middle in my great aunt's living room, and so I'd lie under the table and pretend I was dead and in a coffin (somehow I found that more entertaining than tv)


2 videos in like, a week?

DODIE I LOVE YOU


when I was little some old person told me harmful “waves” came from the microwave and not knowing anything about like physics waves I thought they were just invisible like smells so every time the microwave went on I tried to hold my breathe because I was scared I’d breathe in the waves and die lol


When I was like five or six we went to Thailand, and while we were there we went to this huge market. One of the stores was Hello Kitty themed, and there was the biggest effing Hello Kitty doll you've ever seen. I immediately decided that I HAD to have it. My mom obviously was like "no. You have ten million dolls" and I threw the biggest fit of all time. My mom had to drag me screaming out onto the street. And the woman who ran the store, who didn't speak any English, ran out with the doll and gave it to me. I still have it.

My lil brother and I played this game where we would hit a balloon around the kitchen for HOURS. It had to be the kitchen because that was where the most stuff was. We wrote our scores on the balloon in Sharpie, but we wouldn't ever wait for the ink to dry, so we'd get marker all over our hands. And every round ended with my dad getting so pissed at us playing while he was doing dishes that he'd put it on top of the fridge. We usually got it down once he left and kept playing until it popped.

In sixth grade, we all had to do projects where we would study a part of the cell. I got the nucleus with my best friend (Jade) and we were supposed to work on it after school. Instead of working, I sat on my top bunk and threw pillows at her, lying on the ground. In our final presentation, we both accidentally pronounced it "nuk-a-lis." I used the paper mache model as a tortilla chip bowl after the presentation.


Omg I totally used to play the “I live at the playground” game, too! 😂


This is gonna sound so creepy but does anyone know where dodies bedding is from? I love the lil flowers lmao


one time in like 1st grade i had one of those color-changing pencils that would change with heat so i thought it was a great idea to stick the pencil in the microwave and suddenly after it was done i opened the microwave door and the smell of burnt wood flooded my kitchen and soon after a fire inside the microwave oof i was not the brightest child


When I was in elementary school me and my friends would take turns having our hair in braids every day and then during recess whoever had braids would be the horse and someone else walked behind them holding the braids like reins and you had to turn left when they pulled the left braid etc...

Also does anyone know the cartoon Wonderpets? Me and my siblings were obsessed with that show and theres a sequence at the beginning where they sing a song and then jump into a bucket of costumes and come out wearing one of them so we would lay all of our clothes on the floor, stand on the bench and sing the song, and then jump in and change our clothes.


My dad used to play pretend with me when I was little. We would pretend we were superheroes and run around the center table at our little apartament with tableclothes around our necks like they were capes. I miss these times so much that I tear up whenever I remember them.


DODIE so today was a really not so great day and now it is good because of this video I love you thank you and thank you and thank you

ok bye lol❤❤❤❤


I'm in my 20s and I legit went to Build a Bear and made a bear yesterday. It's still a magical process.


i played so many of these same games as a child... lonely kids unite


"I'm  just washing my areas ma'm." Best. Sentence. Ever.


i had so many weird things when i was a kid haha, one of the weirdest ones i think was how i used to walk as a toddler, i would walk like a crab for absolutely no reason and my parents thought it was the funniest thing


i did the same with the ball thing! i used to listen to don't stop me now by queen when i was small, and whenever the "i'm having a ball" part came around i'd always mime a basketball:)) wow i didn't think anyone else did that


Duuuude, I used to light paper on fire with candles, for the longest time I kind of got obsessed for a while. Anyway, just really glad I'm not the only one who used to set stuff on fire by candlelight. And definitely not safe! Don't try it at home kids.


When I was a child, I stood on top of a concrete wall between mine and my neighbor's yard. I had obviously watched far too much Mary Poppins, because I thought it would be smart to jump off of the wall with an umbrella...


i used to have this role play- thing in like, 2nd grade. i was an alien princess from the planet "halo" and i camd to earth to escape my father and attend school. i had an invisible bird made of fire that only i could see and a necklace (which was just like, 2 rubber bands tied around my neck) that would glow when my father came to visit me on his space ship.
also this one girl really wanted to be magical like me and i felt bad so i convinced her that she was my sister, and she was also magic but she needed to unlock her powers.

the best part is, a couple of years later one of the girls i used to roleplay with asked me about my father, at this point i'm like 11 years old and like "yo wtf are you talking about"


petition for dodie to make this a weekly podcast


It’s crazy how many similarities there are between our childhood memories!


When I was a kid my family had a pool and we’d play a game where we tried to pour water on all of the pavement surrounding the pool. We’d take water from the pool in buckets (my dad always got mad at us for wasting water, which looking back was probably fair) and pour it on the pavement and try to get it so every square of pavement was covered in water at the same time before they dried off<br>I’d also play a “potions” game by the pool where I’d mix water from different buckets into one big bucket and pretend I was mixing the “essences” of things to create a magical potion

My great aunty did sonething like your grandad. I was like 6 and staying with her and my brother. She said I should try this sweet that my brother had eaten, but I needed to crunch. Naive, vulnerable little me trusted her.

It was a peppercorn.

As a kid, at some point, I watched Winx Club every day, so I thought if I concentrated hard enough I'd discover I had fairy powers, too. I never did concentrate hard enough though :/
