Stupid things you did as a child...

Post Reply New Topic

I destroyed a universe using toothpaste, a paperclip, and a hyperdrive engine.

I half plugged in a tape cassette player into the socket, pressed "play" while I had my finger on the metal part of the plug and electrocuted myself. I don't think I told my parents about this to this very day.

Believing adults

Stuck a barbie doll inside a VCR
put sticky tack in a girls hair because I wanted to.

I was sick when I was three and my parents forgot to give me my medicine. So in the middle of the night I climbed onto a counter and opened a cabinet to take it. Naturally I got the dose wrong and ended up vomiting all over my pajamas (they had footies and orange stars). I missed them after my mom threw them out.

I'm still embarrassed about this, but in third grade during some sort of art project I lay on my back and slid all around the room, underneath the tables and between people, humming loudly.

I did many things like that.

When I was about 7 when I was in brownies we were making something that required us to wear aprons. Some people were getting changed into their play clothes so they don't get their uniforms dirty, and I just had a long apron and I thought because others were getting changed I should do the same. So I ended up wearing my apron over my top but with not trousers on, the apron covers the front of my legs so it's alright, right?? But no, after a while "Barn owl" (the title they give the brownie leaders, there is also brown owl, tawny owl and little owl) noticed and had a go at me. I remember sitting on the bench not giving a monkeys while she put my trousers on.

You know, I think the stupidest thing I tried to do as a kid was jump over a roll of carpet with my bicycle. I tried. I failed. I hurt.
