Thread: Stupid (but funny) stuff you did as a kid....

The things I used to do as a kid are things I'm glad my son don't do now!

I loved Fire as a child and would start them anywhere I could. I started one in a ditch in our garage since our club house was down there and we needed light.
I started them in new houses that were being build with all the saw dust they would leave in the basements. I also loved firecrackers. I would steal them from my 3 older brothers!

I would ride my bike on the side of a highway to go to the gas stations to buy candy and we couldn't just ride to the one on the same side of the street nooo we had to cross over 4 lanes of traffic to go to the other one since we believed they had better candy!

We also had a pond with fish in it in our basement and my brother would put salamanders down in it so I figured heck I would put something in it too. I would go find tree frogs and put them down there. At night my dad would yell at me when you would hear them crock for 2-3 days every nite till they probably died! LOL

I'm surprised my parents didn't kill me with all the bad things I did as a child! But I did have 3 older brothers I could blame for learning all my naughty things LOL

Whew! I've been reading all these posts and,OMG! FUNNY! Allow me to introduce myself..........I'm the mother of the kid that tried to hang herself on the swing set, and YES! It scared us to death.Her dad had just bought it and set it up.After her little stunt, he went right straight and took it down and gave it away.Thank God she didn't succeed in her quest to feel how it would be to hang ones self.
I guess now would be as good a time as any to tell the story of the striptease act my best girlfriend and I put on for the neighborhood boys when we were about 8 years old. See, we rounded up every boy in our neighborhood to watch a show we were putting on. Usually, it was a soap opera act. The boys drifted away, bored, so Judy says" I know how to get their attention.Lets take off our bloomers (panties) and do a can can dance with high kicks and every thing". So we went behind an old quilt we were using for a stage curtain and took them off, giggling all the while.We came out from behind the curtain, kicking wildly to thunderous applause!!
well..................someone told our moms............the show broke up......Judy's mom switched her legs and said she couldn't play with me any more........
My mom just laughed about it.
Judy was my best friend for 54 years.I lost her 2 years ago to lung disease.
Her kids and mine always loved that story and said we should write it down so that other people could know about it and maybe get a "kick" out of it.
Hope y'all enjoyed it.

I am sorry about Judy, God rest her soul.

But that is hysterical...can canning at 8 years old..lol..kids are wild.

When I was 4 I thought I would be a big girl and wash my dads honda while he was asleep, so it would be nice and clean when he went to work. Well I got the outside clean, but the inside was dirty too. So I stuck the running water hose on the INSIDE of the car and hosed off the seats, the floors, and t5he dashboard. I even made sure to get the inside of his new cassete player clean ( this was 83) Boy I did a good job. And I'll never forget the look on dads face when he sat down in it, and it was like sitting in a swimming pool.

But ya know I didn't get in trouble, he just hid the water hose until I was married and moved out.

I just had to reply to this, there were 5 of us kids but my parents always had other peoples kids, it was like growing up in a home for wayward kids, if a kid needed a home they ended up at our house, to this day my parents are still taking stray kids in. We lived on a farm with cattle, pigs, the whole gig, some of the things we done its a wonder some of us arent dead, we would swing off a big rope out the barn 2nd story floor, we would get into barrels and roll around in the barn loft with the doors wide opened, we would walk around the top of the hog pins like a tightrope act, believe me if we would have fallen into one of those pins those hogs would have killed us, when we were older we were worse, we would hotwire my cousins dads van at 3 in the morning to go get pop. walked 10 miles from a school dance in heels,cousins dad finally found us and took us home(we sneaked out to the dance). When i was 16 I and the neighbor kids convinced a new friend of the familys that my mom was a whino, man you should have seen the look on her face when he handed her a bottle of mad dog 20/20, I thought she was going to kill us, and that poor man, he had no idea my mom hates drinking. this was a good thread that brought back some good memories. My daughter is 17 and never did too many things like we did so I got off lucky but i guess the grandchildren may pay me back in spades.

I got whooped big time for that one since I embarrassed both my parents. My teach Miss Wilkowski went to school and chummed with my Mom. For the record I never snooped again anywhere..........

Reminds me of the time in Catholic grade school when I was digging through the trash in the bathroom, and found this neat envelope. I put my lunch money for week in it, only to find out that it ORIGINALLY held my mom's prescription for BIRTH CONTROL pills in it...lmao!!
