Weird things we all did as kids but never talk about

The mind of a child works in wonderful and mysterious ways. Their imaginations run freely, untethered by the bounds of logic or fact.

Children are children wherever they are, and as such, they seem to be drawn to the same things. That means that you, your cousin, and that kid in class who used to eat erasers, all had many of the same weird, awkward experiences.

Cursed: The dark side of the Kennedy family

The Kennedy family tree is extensive, complex, and powerful. The first generation of 'celebrity' Kennedys was that of John F. Kennedy and his eight siblings, which included his brothers Robert and Ted who joined him in politics, and his sisters, Kathleen, Jean, and Rosemary. John F. Kennedy was first elected to the US House of Representatives in 1947, and since then there hasn’t been more than a two-year period where a Kennedy wasn't holding office.
