A Child Exercising at the School Dinner Table

When I was a child of 9 years old was burned badly on my arm.  At the hospital a nurse taught me to exercise with long arm movements to help the healing. She told me to practice on my own.  Another day I was at school. It was dinner time and a group of us were at the dinner table. Suddenly it entered my mind to practice the exercises. I started exercising at the dinner table. The other kids were totally shocked and started name calling.  Decades later I realised that maybe the dinner table was the wrong place to exercise. Is it that I did not consider context. 

can anyone relate to this. Does it have a name. Is it taking stuff literally?

How should we describe it. 

thank you
