Stupid things you did as a kid

[sasquatch]

When I was 13 years old I tasted a prune and I loved it. I then ate a whole box of the damned things because they tasted awesome to me.
:9
Unknown to me that it gives you the shits, so I spent the entire next day like this.
:hurts:

1. A friend of mine had a VW Beetle

Her parents spent their summers in Nebraska, so we would all hang out at her house.
We would wait until dark and then take turns getting on top of the bug and someone would drive in circles--cutting right and left and back and forth trying to shake the person off the top. Thank God nobody ever got hurt.
Realllllyyy stooopid....I do know that know.;)

[sasquatch]

3. Hmm...German rodeo

:D

[greblc]

8. We did that too!

We had Mini Pick-ups though. I watched too many episodes of Chips & The Dukes of Hazard.
We also learned that Motor Vehicles can become airborne very easily

[Guaranteed]

2. Fell off a rope swing ten feet onto a pile of sticks

Cut my torso up through my shirt pretty good. Still have scars.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

4. used to hit 22 shells with a hammer

ask me why I am still alive. Kids do stupid stuff but we manage to survive.

[sasquatch]

5. That's Alabama stupid(As Randi Rhodes says)

Did you hit the bullet part or the shell?

[Guaranteed]

11. Did that too.

Took em apart, too, poured out the gunpowder to try to make something that would make a big hole in the ground.

Never worked.

[Redneck Socialist]

38. Ooooh, we did that too!

'cept we used the powder from shotgun shells. Black powder is much better at making things go BOOM!

[skygazer]

23. We used to toss them into the campfire

Then dive behind trees and wait for the fireworks.

[sasquatch]

25. I had friends in High School who did that

6. This is just a hilarious story I want to share

I worked with this nurse one time.
She was this gorgeous blonde, really quiet, reserved.
Smart. She was a good nurse. Seemed pretty classy.
Anyway, we sat around having a conversation along these lines and when she told her story, then wow, I sure changed my opinion,lol.
She was from Oklahoma. She said that they used to sit around campfires when they were teenagers and light their farts.
:wtf: Not sure about you, but sitting nekkid around a campfire with a Bic lighter eating beans doesn't sound like a real crowd pleaser to me.:shrug:

[sasquatch]

7. You're supposed to wear denim when lighting farts

It lets the gas out while keeping the flame away from your ass.

[Horse with no Name]

10. Ohhhh is that the trick?

I just ass-sumed that they had to be nekkid.
Dumb me.:banghead:

[Guaranteed]

20. Hey. She was still hot.

What's the problem? LOL ;)

[fudge stripe cookays]

41. "Blazing Saddles" anyone? n/t

[Fight_n_back]

9. Played wild mustang with some neighbor kids

which involved them lassoing me around the neck with a clothesline. I only got ropeburns on my neck but fuck that could have ended badly.

[Ariana Celeste]

12. I had a plum tree in my yard.

And I wanted a plum, but I couldn't reach one... so, I picked one up off the ground at the foot of the tree. I took a big bite out of it, and started chewing away.

Imagine my horror when I looked at the uneaten half and saw that it was full of baby worm looking bug things! :puke:

I was like 5 or 6 yrs old.

[sasquatch]

14. Mmm...worms

:silly:

[Ariana Celeste]

17. Funny thing is,

I didn't taste anything out of the ordinary! :7

[Kathleen04]

13. I put clear nail polish on my eyelashes..

I think I was about 2-3 years old. I was under the impression that it was mascara..

My dad had to trim my eyelashes off! Thankfully they came back!

[sasquatch]

16. Where you able to open your eyes after he did that?

[Kathleen04]

21. Of course..

No eye opening problems, and thankfully I didn't actually get any of the stuff in my eye.

[kiraboo]

15. Got mad at my parents and pounded on the glass panel of the

screen door until I broke it. My hands were cut up pretty bad and I had to have stitches, I don't remember how many. I was about eight and had a terrible temper, apparently.

[sasquatch]

18. I think that would teach a kid to chill out

[kiraboo]

19. What worked, finally, was being slapped on the face as a punishment

for slapping one of my sisters the same way. Pain didn't bother me, but humiliation did. A good lesson.

[gauguin57]

22. Parachute skirt. Not what a child thinks it is.

1) When I was about 5, my sister loaned me what she fashionably called a "parachute skirt." I extrapolated ... I figured, hey, I can jump out of my neighbor's apple tree, and the parachute skirt will break my fall.

Uh, no. Ouch! I'm lucky I didn't break anything.

2) When I was three, I was playing with a bag of hard, dried, uncooked peas (what was my mother thinking?), and I was scientifically thinking, "I wonder how far up my nose I can put this pea before I can't get it out again." So, I proceeded with the experiment. Then, my mother and I proceeded to the DOCTOR's OFFICE. Ouch!

3) I put a hard-boiled egg in a box of cotton and kept it under my bed by the nightlight, trying to hatch it. Yikes! Thank God Mom found it before it really started getting sulphurous!

[sasquatch]

26. I tried to make parachutes myself as a kid

[medeak]

39. jumped out of tree house

yes... knees have never been the same since.

[Redneck Socialist]

40. Did the pea thing with a pussy willow.

My mom caught on that something was wrong when I couldn't stop sneezing. :crazy:

[UrbScotty]

24. Sat around on my behind

I wasn't very active, and I weighed a lot.

[sasquatch]

I think lots of kids do that now in days

The Parents are so scared they'll be "abducted".
:eyes:

[skygazer]

27. Threw myself down the stairs

I was maybe four years old. My mom was always warning me to be careful on the stairs ("don't run on the stairs - you'll fall down them and break your neck". My mom was one of those moms who had to warn you of the dire consequences of all your actions)

Anyway, what it did in me was arouse my curiosity. Was it really that bad? How horrible would it be to fall down the stairs? So one day, I stood at the top and kind of let myself go.

She was right. It sucked.

[spacelady]

37. We had 10 stairs to the basement with an overhang about halfway

I was going up one stair at a time and jumping to the bottom. Well, it's easy to guess what eventually happened. I got to the eighth step up, jumped, smacked my forehead & landed on my back on the stairs. Laid there for about 1/2 hour just groaning.

[blue neen]

28. I ate a box of Ex-Lax one time

because I thought it was a chocolate candy bar. Oh, the A-GO-NY!

[sasquatch]

30. Were you dehydrated after it "ran its course"?

[blue neen]

33. Oh yeah.

I remember my mom giving me warm milk to drink with nutmeg on the top. That was supposed to help calm me down!

[swag]

29. I let my parents tell me what to do.

[sasquatch]

31. That was my mistake in High School

[CanuckAmok]

32. Got a chemisty set for Christmas when I was 10.

Turned all the gold in the house into lead. My mom was pissed! She made e turn it all back into gold again...I was up until about 3 am!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. must have been an alchemistry set, then

[sasquatch]

35. Did Hudson Hawk try to rob your house afterwards?

[CanuckAmok]

36. Buh...?

Huh...?

[sasquatch]

43. Go to the video store and ask for the movie "Hudson Hawk"

You'll get the joke after that.

[Redneck Socialist]

42. Played "miner" and disassembled the basement wall.

One wall in our basement was cemented field stone, so I took a screwdriver and a hammer and chipped away at the cement until I could take the rocks out. Fortunately my dad caught me before I got too far. Man was he some kind of pissed!

[sasquatch]

44. I bet, I'd be pissed too

:wow:
