Kids love to snoop.. What's the craziest thing you ever found? |

Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 06:31 PM by SoCalDem
When I was about 11, I was cleaning my Aunt's boutique, and decided to rearrange some messy drawers under the front counter.. I ran across a box of syringes, and thought she and my uncle were doing drugs or something.. I told my mother and she said.. "Don;t say anything to them"....there's probably an innocent reason for her having them".. I bit my tongue, and said nothing for a long time, and then one day, I took them out of the drawer and showed them to her ...asked what on earth she was doing with "drug needles"..
She and my uncle both busted up laughing, and she proceeded to ask me if I wanted to help her "use the needles"....
They had boxes of small glass bottles with sealed stoppers, and she would order perfume in bulk from France, and use the syringes to fill the tiny bottles which she then sold to customers who were too cheap to buy the big bottles, or who wanted to try a small quantity of an exotic perfume before they spent big bucks for a whole bottle.. (There were luxury taxes and import taxes back then)..
So, thanks to my snooping, I ended up having another task, in addition to cleaning and sweeping the floors:eyes:.. But I smelled good..

3. Reminds me of a friend's story |
|
When she was 13 she found condoms in her Dad's things. She went running to her mother crying and told her mother that Dad was cheating on her. Her Mom started laughing and said no she knows about them because they use them together. (She just couldn't picture her parents having sex so she automatically assumed her Dad was cheating on her Mom.) He he!

We had gotten Dad a new wallet for Xmas, and they were helping him organize the new one.. My then 7 yr old came roaring into the kitchen to announce that Daddy has a picture of a naked blonde girl in his wallet... I immediately went to investigate..
Never could completely convince the kid that the "girl" was just his own Mom (me) at 19..not naked, but very tan in a very small bikini...a faded old picture taken with a Polaroid Swinger black & white camera... sigh :cry:

4. My friend and I found a copy of "The Joy Of Sex." |
|
We were probably 10 years old, and knew the very basics of reproduction, but found this whole thing hilarious. What was even funnier was that it was at her (stodgy, proper) parents' house.
Especially all of the line drawings of hairy 70s people going at it.

7. Illegal ways to get on and off military bases. |
|
I'm an Air Force brat, and I grew up on overseas military bases. Trust me, if you ever have to break into a U.S. military base, just ask one of the kids who live there. They know all the ways to slip in and out of the base without anyone knowing.
