Crazy Stuff you did when you were a Kid

When I was younger about 13 my best friend parents had a camp near Grand Isle and we were drinking while our parents went on a fishing trip so we decided to see who could jump off the roof of the neighbors boat shed and into the water. Well I went first and landed on piling with barnacle and tore up my knee. I still have the scar today from it. My friend chickened out. we told our parents I slipped off the warf and hit the piling to stay out of trouble.

Created my own campaign posters for re-electing Ronald Reagan to a 2nd term and showed them off around the neighborhood. I was 11 if memory serves.

Crazy stuff man.

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 swings

crank calls. yes .. so I moved then when I was 12 finally located myself into a girls home.. my best friend * the one I caused so much trouble with years earlier took me in.. she was trouble on her own but together...? we were wow worthy. ... we decided innocently to call and ask for males listed in the phone book of course and would breathlessly sing " happy birthday " in the sexiest Marilyn monroe voice we had the wives didn't like this one bit.. they would exclaim its not his birthday and we would say .."look lady we dont sing we dont get paid so, be a peach hand your husband the phone and play along" .,... they would pass them the phone .. we would sing .. and hang up. true story the cops ended up fining us again tried to say we had called thousands .. LOL.. it was maybe in the 100's * but they have a scale .. X # of complaints means Y # of actual calls made.. I think everyone we called turned us in. and we had call block. lol. damn .

oh yes and there's the time my crazy friend and I went to Baskin Robbins when they were closed. different thread entirely.

As you can see from my profile pic, I'm into vintage Barbies. Except when I was a kid, they weren't vintage Barbies, they were just Barbies.

Back at that time, their heads weren't attached the way they are now - I think now they're made with some kind of anchor inside the neck that keeps the head from popping off. But in my day, the heads just popped off easily, like a cork out of a champagne bottle.

So during my moments of laziness, when I wanted to change their outfits? I'd just swap their heads. And bingo! Blonde Barbie in the pink dress and brunette Barbie in the blue dress were now wearing each other's outfits.

Once, when my mom was going to school, she had no babysitter for me, so she brought me with her to her anatomy class (perfect, right?), with my two favorite Barbies in tow. I was about eight. I was very quiet, I was good. I understood that I wasn't to make noise or run around during class. I quietly sat in the back row and played with my Barbies, until I got bored. Then, I did my head switch for my quick and easy outfit change! All of a sudden, in mid-lecture, my mom's professor goes, "Uhhhh.... Rose? What is she doing?" I looked up and said, "It's easier to change their outfits this way." Well, he loved that - he cracked up laughing at my apparent problem solving technique.

After that, whenever he saw my mom in the halls at school, he'd say, "Rose! How's my little head-transplanter doing? Tell her I said hello!"

I was alittle id say 5, My parents had went out and had a Date night, my older siblings and I decided to play Hide N Seek... Well let me tell you I had the best spot no one found me, while went by. By this time I knew something was wrong so I went to get out of my spot, and I was stuck. Parents came home I was still MIA and then I was found when they followed my screams. NOTE TO ANYONE PLAYING HIDE N SEE..... THE DRYER IS A DUMB PLACE TO HIDE SINCE BACK THEN YOU COULDNT OPEN THEM FROM THE INSIDE. LOL

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.

I had a club, called "Ghost" club and all the local kids would come to my house at lunch to "exercise" the ghosts out. I wasn't allowed to have anyone over, but I did and suddenly, my mom came home right while we were doing "bloody mary" in the mirror in the bathroom. Everyone thought my mom was bloody mary. awesome.

My cousin was stupid and tried to act tough, so one day we challenged him to lift a rock over his head. Unbeknownst to him, there was a fire ant hill just below the rock and while he was "hulk hoganing" the rock, all the little fire ants ran down his arms and bit him. Hilarious.

My step-sister and I actually stole a kitten. She wanted a kitten and this girl we didn't like just got one. So we came up with a plan. We observed her, watched that she played with the kitten in the back yard so we decided that I would go into the back yard, steal the kitten while my sister rang the doorbell. Well, the girl brought the kitten into the house when she heard the doorbell ring so I had to B&E (break and enter) her house, steal the cat then leave. I was a semi-good kid, so I closed the door behind me (ha ha. like a kitten could close the door after it's escape) We then transported the kitten to my step-sisters house (we lived apart) and she kept the kitten under her bed. She got caught and had to return the kitten, and I didn't get in trouble! hee hee.

I roller skated in the basement and broke my arm. My dad took me to the doctor and said, if it's really broken, you're getting a spanking. The doctor joked around and said that my arm is broken and they'd have to cut it off. I started crying because I was afraid of getting a spanking, not losing my arm. The doctor felt bad and my dad forgot about giving me a spanking.

And finally.....

Picture it, it's 1992, April, Brother and Sister are a little stir crazy, excited about their joint 13th and 16th birthday party coming up on the weekend at dad's house. For some reason, the little sister is "apparently" lighting stuff on fire and the brother calls dad to turn little sister in. Instead of admitting to the badness, sister tells dad, that Mike, I mean Brother, didn't let her use the computer for HOMEWORK!

The tiniest of lies cause the biggest trouble....

So Brother gets his sweet 16 birthday party completely cancelled and instead of partying like it's 1992, Brother is grounded for the entire weekend while little sis parties it up with her pals. I made it up to him for his 35th birthday last year. All was forgiven.

I sooo thought this story was going to end up with your sister being part of the LA Riots that month.

This is more of a uh oh. No horror storys of going to the er, or fires, or burning anything down. I was about 5, and on a school field trip. Don't ask me why I would do this, but I guess a button came off my vest and I stuck it up my nose.

I was about in the 7th grade when this happen so not really a kid. I was the babysitter for our church daycare and our parents had choir practice that night so a bunch of the teen got together in the daycare and instead of watching the kids we decided to jump from the table to the top of the kiddie slide to the kitchen set and back. Well i was second to go and did the whole run when i jump from the slide back to the table i slipped on my landing and busted the back of my head open bad enough for stiches. So we decided to wash my hair so my parents would see all the blood like having wet hair wasnt a clue. I got in major trouble that night but I did get out of PE (used to hate it) for over a week

When I was 12 I think, my friends, sister and I were walking around town in the evening, and saw a guy using a payphone, which no one EVER used. So naturally we thought he was organizing a drug buy. So we climbed into the back of his pick up truck while he wasn't looking, so we could witness it and help make a bust. Well, he was walking back across the street to his truck when we chickened out, jumped down and ran. He must have thought we were stealing from him, because he got in the truck and chased us around town. We finally lost him by laying down in some long grass behind a store. We were convinced a drug dealer wanted to kill us. Hahaha

When I was 10 or so, a kid at school threw a board in the air and it hit me square on the head. My scalp started to pour blood and I ran into the library screaming with blood on my hands. The librarian freaked, took me to the infermary where they looked for some sort of way to stop the bleeding. They couldn't find anything big enough so I ended up with a sanitary napkin (maxi-pad) strapped to my head. My parents came and they laughed at me when I asked if I was going to die; well my dad actually wanted me to tell him who did it so they could sue the kid. I got 3 stitches that day and still have a funky swirl/cow-lick on my head.
