Crazy Stuff you did when you were a Kid

Me and my sister use to fight like cats and dogs. One time when we were in our usually state of yelling at each other she was outside and I was inside. I was in the kitchen and I took the sink sprayer and started spraying it at her through the window. She ran and got the hose and started spraying it in the kitchen window.
My parent were out and my other sister ( I have 3 sisters) came in the kitchen yelling at both of us so we sprayed her instead.
My parents were not happy when they got home and heard what we did.
The kitchen was soaked but it got a good cleaning that day!0 -
I grew up in los angeles
I and my best friend had ZERO supervision growing up.
we were hardcore tomboys.
*smh* I was very VERY umm calculating as a child.
so I came up with a plan for her and I to go door to door with all of the school fund raisers . we collected quite a bit of money for a 7 and 6 yr old.. and we used to go up to melrose * we were about a mile and a 1/2 away* and we would spend the money at this record store or this candy shop that sold astronaut ice cream... we added graffiti on EVERY surface we saw..
we stole all the mail from all the mailboxes within about a three mile radius of where we lived and collected all the pennies
( publishers clearing house ) for over two week straight and card money , and read play girls ..lol and
started some garage roof on fire because we used it as our secret hideout.. this old Jewish guy tried to get us down and my friend ..lol said come up and get us old man .. LOL.. well damnit he tried and he had a cane.. and the only way out was the fence and dumpster he was scaling .. so I jumped off .. ( mind you I was 7 ) I didn't get hurt and bailed on her ..
luckily his son saw what was happening and gave her time to get out of there..
The FBI actually came to our door and questioned our parents about the mail.. of course we were angels and were never naughty and said they hadn't a clue. they threatened us , with jail time. and * that wasn't the only time we had been or were **handcuffed** lol We were also banned from the Beverly center for life and had or pictures taken we had a huge bag of stolen goods.
if we would have continued to hang out NO DOUBT we would have been bank robbers. I fantasize a lot about it actually.
I was naughty.0 -
oh one more, when I was probably 5 or 6 i was the first one up one morning and went into the kitchen and noticed one of the eyes on the stove was on. to make sure I put a paper towel on it and that mug started burning QUICK! stupidly i threw the paper towel in the trash thinking it would go out and ran upstairs and jumped back in the bed. moments later someone smelled the smoke and everybody woke up and i stayed in the bed and acted like I don't know what happened. My granddad came over and put the fire out in enought time to only burn up some stuff in the kitchen thankfully,0

My brother and I used to shock the kids in the neighborhood with a live cut electrical wire hanging down from our back porch, that is how they got into our club.
He would put me in a wagon, tie it to the back of his bike and pull me over a ramp, smart, I know.
I "jumped" my bike up over a very steep hill.
I broke into an empty house barefoot and ended up stepping on a bunch of tacks, lol.
I stuck a bobby pin into a electrical outlet and started a fire in my bedroom.
I once pooped in a tupperware dish and threw it out my bedroom window, lol (we had one bathroom in the house and my dad stayed in it for hours at night).
I made a huge tunnel in a snow drift and it fell in on me, my brother noticed and saved me.
My friend and I used to jump off the roof of the shed in the backyard over and over.
We sledded down a very large hill that ended up with us landing in the road every time, suprised we didn't ever get hit by a car.
I used to tame "wild" kittens all the time, suprised I didn't ever get attacked by a feral momma cat.
I locked a stray dog in our front porch once (with me and my brother also on the porch) and it attacked me, my brother hit it with a shovel.
I used to make toilet paper bombs (toilet paper and water) and throw them up on the ceiling (they would stick) in the school bathroom.
I used to walk about 5 miles to another town down the railroad tracks and then call my parents from my cousin's house to come pick me up.
Wow, My brother and I were crazy........0 -
My parents had white berber carpet in their previous house when we were kids. My sister and I, ages 11 and 13 at the time, were painting our nails bright green over the carpet. One of us elbowed the nail polish onto the floor and we didn't notice that it had bled onto the carpet until 10 minutes later. WE FREAKED OUT. In a moment of genius, we decided to give the carpet a haircut and spent an hour carefully cutting the tops of the stained berber carpet and vacuuming up the carpet snippets.
When my parents moved houses six years later, they were baffled by the shorter matted patch of carpeting in the tv room after the movers removed all of the furniture.
We never said a word.
GANGSTER.. you can join my gang ..

Myself and the neighborhood kids used to have BB gun fights in the woods behind our houses.....no one ever lost an eye.
HAHAHAHA me too. My brother and I had BB gun fights, stick fights, rocks... just about anything we could find to throw at each other and we turned out just fine. All limbs, eyes, etc in tack0 -
all of these outdoor crazy fun activities when we were younger makes me wonder what kids do now. It took awhile but I really had keep insisting to make my son go outside. There was nothing wrong with him or anything like that he just enjoyed being in the house playing video games with his friends or by himself. He goes outside everyday when he comes up from school now thank goodness. I have so many memories of just being outside playing. I don't understand kids nowadays.0

I think I was about 7 years old and my then best friend was about 6.
We decided to start our own vet medical centre. the headquarters for our idea was her dad's old car, which was a dump by the side of the road. So, we thought of going round to our neighbours' houses who we knew had pets and "check" the health of their animals, as vets do.
To our surprise, the neighbours were really nice and let us come into their houses and pet the animals and give them a free "health check".
Then as we grew older, we started annoying the same very nice neighbours by ringing their door bells and then run and hide. Talking about being grateful!

Mom liked to take naps when we were kids. One day she woke up to me, my two brothers, and my sister all throwing popcorn and shooting our slushies with our straws at the ceiling fan. I think she just turned around and went back to bed for a while.0

I used to swing on powerlines0

We had just moved into a new house with a fireplace, and so I got a log and some sticks from the yard and decided to make a fire. I had never had a fireplace before, so the word "damper" was not in my vocubulary!
Well, it got going pretty good, but then the living room started to fill with smoke.
Because I am an intelligent being, I thought of the whole house fan - it was in the attic floor and could ventilate the whole house, so it should get all the smoke out. So I put it on.
And the smoke went up and out. But the embers went out and landed on the rug and began to smolder. Fan off, pans full of water to put everything out. What a mess.
Oh, by the way, I was 22 at the time. ;-) A big kid!0 -
I was a little turd!!!! I would hang over the railing and spit on peoples heads when they would walk upstairs, then I would run and hide. I also used to go over to the post office and ride the elevator up and down, (not allowed :-) I would also hide under this one hutch that was located jut outside our bathroom and I would scare the living day lights out of my sister when she would walk by. That's just the nicer things I did...... heeheehee0

When I was 6 I cut my own hair while at school. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. Mum made me wear headbands to cover my bangs until everything had grown back.0
-
I can't share much, as even though I am about to turn 40, the statute of limitations has not run on most of what I did. :bigsmile:
I will say this though.............bottle rocket fights are awesome!0 -
We would have bottle rocket wars. Took a caulking gun, set the whistling bottle rocket inside the holder, lit it, aimed it and fired trying to hit each other across the street. Keep in mind this was way before paintball. The other stuff I can't mention, but lets just say i'm glad I still have all my limbs and didn't end up in jail.0

I remember riding on the tops of cars, drunk, going really fast...even jumping onto other cars... makes me cringe thinking about it, especially since my oldest is about to become a teenager :ohwell:0

There was a bunch of abandoned cars in the forest beside my grandmas house, and my cousins, sister and I would go play tag on them. They were all in a circle so could jump from one to the next without touching the ground. Broken glass and metal everywhere, but no one ever got hurt except me. I got a tiny cut from the glass while I was climbing through a busted out windshield.
We would also play tag on the rows of round haybales stacked up. But to get to the bales, we had to cross the field where they kept the bull. We would check to see if the bull was facing us or not, and as soon as he wasn't looking, we'd hop the (electric) fence and book it across the field. One time he saw us and was charging as we got to the other side. But he knew what the electric fence was for and stopped short.0 -
We grew up in the country where we had a barn with a loft. My brothers (4 and 6 years older than me) piled up a bunch of cushions just outside the barn loft door and were jumping out onto the cushions. They would walk to the back of the barn to get a running start, so they couldn't see what was happening below before they jumped. I was 7 at the time and my brothers were mean as snakes, especially the younger of the two. When he went back to get a running start, I grabbed as many cushions from the pile as I could and moved them out of the way. He landed with quite a thud, actually broke a couple of ribs! They got me back though, the same day. They sprayed a wasps nest and got the bees good and angry, then lured me into the room by saying my cat was in there. Unbeknownst at the time, I am allergic to bees. I got stung twice and almost died before my dad got me to the hospital. I say they won that round!0

Most of the stupid stuff I did as a kid involved the boy scouts. I am not sure what they are thinking giving 11 year olds matches, axes and knives.
- Fire Jumping was a very popular sport in ym troop for a few years.
- finding out everything that burns (and everything that blows up when thrown in fires),
- dousing cabin floors in ligher fluid and spraying the fluid up to lit fireplace
- filling coffee cans with lighter fluid, lighting it and then kicking them into the forest.
- "fake" knife fights
- thowing axes when blindfolded
- bobbytrapping campsites so if anyone lef tthey would break an ankle.
- when cutting down trees, pushing them in the direction of people
At one friends house, we used to jump off their tree house to get over an electrified fence. Not sure if jumping off the tree house was the worst part, or trying to get back over without the tree house.0 -

This reminded me of a few things and the fire thread ..
I will start with the fire growing up in La we were exposed to things like escargot * strangely we liked them... anyway one time
we decided to make our own .. we got snails and sharpened sticks and impaled these poor lil F@%kers and started slowly turning them on a fire we had made outside in the grass.. as we sat there sprinkling them with salt and salivating we talked bout how escargot came from the sea.. and that they were probably different we abandoned them in the ash * and still blazing fire and went on to cause havoc else where.
The med clinic reminded me of the time that I lived in a trailer park * .. our home had just been burnt to the ground so my grand father bought my mom a trailer in palm dale .. I had to move away from all my friends and was pretty devastated.. anywho
my mom was also always sleeping, on drugs or what have you .. one day I got an idea to start a carnival in my trailer. I did magic tricks had card games , had the Nintendo controller out the window *we were the only kids in the whole neighbor hood that had one * .... and charged for EVERYTHING ..it all started quickly and before you knew it the whole neighborhood and neighboring neighborhoods were lined up .. * I will tell you this being 12.. I was pretty successful.. when my then 16 yr old brother saw my growing income * I went on to buy Popsicles in bulk and hot dogs and would serve them out the window.. * making a serious profit .. he decided to quit hanging with his friends and run the carnival with me.. we made flyers this **** was serious.
That's when the park police shut us down
we kept sneaking it back up but .. they finally fined us. my mom was pissed.. then we starting stealing cars. hahhahaa. they should have just let us throw our freaking carnivals.
it was badass and I am happy to recall it again.. hahhaha turn a dime intro a dollar . .. I have always had great Ideas.0 -
When I was younger my older brother and cousin who are 4 and 5 years older than me thought It would be a good idea to rip pages out of our coloring books and glue them to the wall in our den. The whole wall was completely covered in coloring book pages. We got in big trouble for that. :laugh:0

I can't MAKE mine go outside, so we instated a NO VIDEO GAMES during the week rule. it has worked WONDERS.
plus we got them some quads and dirt bikes.. and we have 3.5 acres so we are in the process of building them a ninja warrior like back yard obstacle course.. ... may have to implement the old carnival rules if the neighbors kids want to play .. bahahahha 0 -
Wow I feel so lame lmao I have NO stories, I was always afraid of getting in trouble so I never did stuff that I thought I would get in trouble for lol0
-
One time my older brother and I were throwing knives into a refrigerator box... I walked in front of the box to go inside and he didn't realize it... threw the knife and it stabbed me in the calf. Not too deep or anything.... but enough to leave a scar... and enough to really piss our mom off.
I also use to prank call my brother from my friends house all the time.
Also TIRE SWINGS. very large tire swings0 -
bump..these are awesome so far..gunna finish them later0
-
I suddenly feel so.... normal. :laugh:
Grew up on a farm. I loved jumping off the barn roof onto the hay. My dad would scream at me. Farm fresh eggs splatter real good when you throw them at houses. Not a good idea to do in a small town when everyone knows you. Chasing cars down the highway that we arent allowed to be anywhere near with halloween masks on. Ramping our 4 wheelers over the creek. Its a wonder Im alive for that one actually.0 -
When I was around 10 and my best friend was 9, we use to look out my front door (on a main road) and when we saw people that would eventually pass us we would shout stuff at them through the letterbox like "nice shoes"
Looking back I have no idea why we found this fun but it was hilarious at the time0 -
My sister, my cousin and I used to dress up as old gypsy ladies and knock on our neighbours doors saying 'money for the poor?' .
Needless to say we never got any money.
We also spent the weekend at my dad's girlfriends house (who we hated, we were 11 and she was a homewrecker duh!) and we cleaned the toilet with her toothbrush, also we carved '*****' into the banister of her stairs. I was there a few months ago and you can still faintly see it ha!0
