I have been thinking about when I was a kid lately and I started to think about all the stupid things I used to do.

Like I had seen this episode of Tom and Jerry it was a ice capades episode and Jerry and the little mouse flood the floor with water and use the fridge to freeze the watter creating an ice rink on the floor. Well, I decided it would be neat to do, having no real concept of what they were doing, I dumped like a whole lot of water on the floor using a big pan, like you would make spaggetti noodles in, and I took off my socks and I opened the Fridge door huh.gif Nothing happened so I dumped half a bottle of dish soap on the floor and swished it around, yeah that was slippery like ice. WAHOO! w00t.gif I was slipping and sliding having a grand ol' time. Then enter Momma Monster angry.gif She was fuming, ever see a dog run onto tile floor too fast? That is about what I looked like trying to run out the back door. laugh.gif I tell you what though it was so fun.

or climbing onto the roof with a trash bag and jumping off. Because I had one of those little green guys with the parachutes you throw up and they float down. It never worked for me though hmm.gif but the stupid thing was I would climb up and do it again. Maybe I did it wrong, maybe you have to run first. I am so lucky I didn't kill myself.

We all did stupid stuff. So come on you can tell, what did you do?

All I remember is that I swallowed a coin and I made my cousin shampoo my hair with ice cream. I also crapped my pants in year 1 and peed my pants in yr2

Has anyone seen that trick where someone is smoking a lit cigarette, puts it all the way in their mouth, pops it back out and it's still lit?

i saw that in a movie when i was around 10, and tried to duplicate it with a nail. needless to say, i swallowed the nail. had to go to the ER, but eventually passed it.

very scary, though.

I remember the time I put a clothes pin on the ear of our German Shepard. I thought I would put one on each ear to see how funny he looked.....I never got the second one on....we almost never caught him.

When I was about 6-8, I gave my little brother a bottle of talcum powder and helped him cover his entire room with it.
It looked like a snowstorm.
For some reason, straight after we had done it, I confessed...

well, at the fist house i lived in, our door frames were painted with high gloss paint. when i was young, i loved to climb things. and i soon discovered that i could climb up the door frames, and hang from the 2cm of frame that stuck out from the wall. i used to climb the door frames and swing off them, 'coz i thought it was soooo entertaining. and then one day, i slipped off the door frame while i was swinging, and hit my head on the corner of the table. i ran to my dad, crying, with my forehead bleeding. he didn't think it was that bad, so he cleaned it up and stuck a bandaid on it and told me i'd be fine. an hour later my mother came home, looked my wound, took me to the hospital and i got 2 stitches tongue.gif

Hmm, let me think. I was a rather good kid. Though when our old neighbours moved out and a new family moved in I went over, knocked on their door and yelled at them - "THIS IS NOT YOUR HOUSE. THIS IS MRS. WELLS HOUSE. Over and over. I couldn't (or wouldn't) grasp that Mrs Wells had really left.

I've done some stupid things with friends like seeing how much cinnamon powder we could eat, putting malt vingegar up our noses and some other unpleasant things. Explored some abandoned buildings in my neighbourhood including an abandoned mental hospital which looked eerily similar to a building in one of the Friday 13th films.

Well Im still pretty much a kid, so I'll keep you informed tongue.gif

Ha I knew it! I still wear rollerskates around the house. Really sucks when the phone rings and I am either upstairs or downstairs, trying to run up or down the stairs on the toes, I have fell on my butt a few times. Guess some things one will never learn. tongue.gif

I put a rubber be-be the soze of a pea up my nose when I was like 4, I was so terrified, I couldn't get t out. Then finally I did but man I never did that again.

used to play criss cross crash, three of us would get into like the hallway, the kitchen and the dining room so we looked like we were at a four way or something then we would run as fast as we could, and smash into one another. Cept once I flew over everyone else and cracked my chin on the arm of the couch (it was wood) had to get 40 stiches.

^LMAO. I actually laughed at the rollerblading thing. tongue.gif

grin2.gif When I was about 3 or 4 I remember watching the Olympics on TV or something it must have came on right after cartoons. But it was Olympic divers so I decided i wanted to be one of them so I set up my plastic fake kids pool at the bottom of my stairs (only 4 stairs high) and stripped down to my Ninja Turtal underwear and jumped...... yeah I never was quite right after that lol the ground was cement so if you can imagin I hit hard lol didn't cry or anything just sort of sat there in the pool going over what I just did grin2.gif

Oh dear lord, i don't know where i would being detailing the stupid things i've done up to my teenage years.

..

And through my teenage years..

Kryso
At the age of eight, just after watching the TV program, Grasshopper, I dropkicked my brother in the throat and he had to go hospital! A few years later I pushed him off a wall and he impaled his arm of a spiked fence. Then the same month I tied him to a board that my other older brother was using for target practice with his homemade spear. Thinking my brother would move he threw the spear, it went straight through his leg! innocent.gif

Things we do as kids?

I am always doing stupid things, why stop because you grow up?
Corporal Cupcake
gotta agree with you XSAS. why let the fun stop? i still do loads of stupid things tongue.gif
Hoagy
I was known to eat ants, sand, soil, postage stamps and a whole bottle of my moms tablets too, which got me so ill. I went to hospital, where I was sick, and lo and behold, a bunch of postage stamps appeared....

My mom stopped me from eating a slug once too... laugh.gif
XSAS

Hoagy, I still eat slugs, tadpoles, lugworms, spiders, woodlice, worms and dog biscuits (although I enjoy them) etc.. it makes my nephew/godson laugh with disbelief and my wife and kids cringe.

HAHAHAHA......well at 32 I still have yet to do something smart. So I guess it would take up too much space to tell you all the dumb things I've done that started as a kid and still going till this day. hmm.gif

Me15(32 now) and my brother 13, were having a snoball fight in a garage. We were at a stand still ready to throw at each other, when I turned around to run because I thought he would get me first. I ran my face right into the 'divider' in the garage. Lo and behold my right side of my face (only half an inch from the eye down) Bam! into a nail with the head out thankfully. Got 3 stitches. But if that nail was pounded in just a half an inch up, I would be blind in one eye probably.

OUCH!!

When i was 9, this cat was annoying me and was teasing the dog, so i tried to knock it off, but it jumped at me and scratched me, so i gave it to my dog, who ripped both its back legs off..... devil.gif devil.gif



Oh, and i set my sisters barbie dolls on fire and threw them at this man.

I use to fall asleep standing up and leaning against anything I was near. I use to be really dopy!

My brother use to dare me to do things, and I would go off and do them.. like.. go to the bee nest in the garden and spray it with some spray, and let all the bees go into the house.

Once, when my mother went out, I decided to impress her by having a bath and giving my brother a bath too, but, I could not find the brush for body scrub, so I went to the toilet and got the toilet brush (with all the yucky chocco bits on it) and scrubed my brother with it. My mother got home and yelled at us.. and we were only trying to be good by cleaning eachother with sh*t lol..

I was wondering around in the garden naked on a summers day, wanted to play with the Kittens, then a bee landed onto the tip of my *dizzle* and stung me!! that hurt aloooooooooooooooottt!! I remember it really well... I was only 3 back then. And then everyone rushed over to me coz I was screaming alot, and they rubbed onion on it to make it better.. apparently..

Also.. At school, I use to feed the school animals too much food during break time.. got into a lot of trouble for that.. tere are other memories..

spazz
I would tie a sheet around my neck and act like i was peter pan. i took a matresses\pillows, put em at the bottom of the staircase and would jump off the top of the staircase.
I would chase girls around the playground in the third grade.
I kicked my brother friend in the groin and made him cry. I beat him at boxing.
We would tie rope to bikes and skate.
In summer camp we were terrorists. We set the cabin on fire, removed the door and destroyed it, used poolballs to make holes in the cabin and urinated through them on a daily basis. We started a war with the older kids and trashed the camp. We did what we wanted.
Wow i could mention more stuff.
we had a treehouse equivalent to a 4-story apartment building in height, had a rope swing that was amazing.
i fell off of it.
We stole a speedboat.
spazz
I was almost killed when i was 14 in an accident with my brother. I was play fighting with some friends and got 11 stitches right above my right eye
tcgram
Oh man, where do I start? I did so many stupid things when I was a kid. Once I watched my brother and his friends use the street as a ramp to jump down into our side yard (Our house was down in a sort of valley from the street). I thought I would try and brought my front tire down first for the landing. OUCH! Needless to say, I flew over the handlebars and went face first in the grass! I ended up skidding in the grass for a couple of yards. I had grass in my mouth, in my hair, in my ears of all places! My brother and his friends had a good laugh and I was embarrassed beyond words!

When I was very, very,young, probably less then four years old, I held one of those little red firecrakers in my hand until it exploded, then I put my fudgsicle in that hand to cool it off.... hmm.gif Wasted my freakin Fudgsicle..

i made a harness for my dog a few years ago, when she was still young and strong. and i attached a rope to the harness, and sat on my skateboard, then i would throw a ball and make the dog run and drag me along behind it laugh.gif me and my friend would do it all the time, until a fell off the skateboard and got a nasty gravel rash laugh.gif
