Stupid shit we did as kids.....

[Schadenfreude]

I already fessed up to smoking blunts and grabbing my crotch in the cigar thread. What dumb shit did you do? 

[Ralph Wiggum]

I saved most of my dumb shit for college and adulthood.  I was mostly an angel in high school. :P

I've got one that's pretty stupid.

Mr. Reimer, my Biology teacher in 11th grade, was an asshole. So I started skipping his class on a semi-regular basis.

Homecoming parade. I'm in the marching band. Front rank. And I'd skipped his class that day.

Busted.     

That one cost me 6 months of doing the dishes every night.   

[NHSparky]

Bottle rocket wars. In dry ass brush. And when we go tired of that I shot off the last couple dozen. Only problem was the fact my football coach lived across the street from me. One rocket went stray and blew up in his BBQ whioe he wa having a cookout.

We are too smart by half in our youth, aren't we.

I was probably 10 years old at the time. Back before match.com and other internet dating sites, they used to have a service called dial-a-date. You called a number and left a voice mail telling a bit about yourself and what you were looking for in a mate. I fancied myself a pretty good impersonator and did a pretty good impersonation of Richard M. Nixon or so I thought.

I was in the middle of one of my messages, when a real person broke in and said, "how would you like to spend some time in jail?". I nearly shit myself.

Ruhroh....I bet he never suspected it was you.

Must have been a Democrat.

I guess the worst thing I can admit to was caused by someone else.  I was nearby but not paying attention.  Setting random stuff on fire, the kids across the street managed to burn down a large section of woodland/scrub before our parents showed up and put it out.

Wasn't me, I swear.

You are Cleopatra my dear and you are the queen of denial. This is what happens when you block out something horrific that you caused from your past and say "nope, it wasn't me"

Yah... you and Bonnie getting arrested on a wild date!

[Ballygrl]

I was a goody two shoes, smoked pot 3 times in my late teens but that was it, I've never been drunk and can probably count on 2 hands the number of drinks I've ever had.

[Ballygrl]

I did get detention once in high school, 3 of us were talking, if we didn't show up for detention we got a demerit, I didn't want to ruin my record of getting no demerits throughout all of high school so I was the only fool who showed up for detention.

So what happened to turn you into the miscreant you are now?

I'm still a goody two shoes, I think.

I am sorry..... so sorry.... so very very sorry. 

But seriously, drinking is not for everyone. My mother has never drank and I asked her why. She said that she saw enough alcoholic relatives and she felt she was predisposed. I totally respect that choice.

There's tons of alcoholism on both sides of my family, my Mom and Dad rarely drank and we never had alcohol in the house except when we were expecting company, but for me I just never liked the taste of it, I'd try sips of other peoples drinks to see if I could find 1 I like and I can't find 1.

Well, don't stub yer toes, girl!

[LC EFA]

Dumb shit done as a kid ?

Suffice to say that I'm lucky to have all fingers , my eyesight and hearing intact.

Better living through chemistry.

[CactusCarlos]

What dumb shit did you do?  

I set my forearm on fire back in the day trying to be Gene Simmons.

[Mr Mannn]

My Mother had a bad habit of saying, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
I answered that...once.   KABOOOM! I was a teen, and towered over my mom, but she let me have it but good.
I learned a lot of respect for that little gal that day.

But I also learned the meaning of, "rhetorical question."

[Mr Mannn]

I was on a date with a gal. We went to a drive in theater. It was a chick flick, "Other Side of the Mountain Part 2." It was a muggy August night, too hot and humid to cuddle. The windows were down for any breeze. and the drive-in was packed. every spot had a car.

The story was about this crippled gal. Every guy who dated her treated her like crap...except for this one guy, the perfect guy....it was a dream come true. Unfortunately the perfect guy wasn't that perfect of a pilot and his plane went SPLAT, into a mountain. He was like pancake flambe' dead.

The gal on screen was crying. My gal was crying. I could hear gals all over the drive-in crying.

and then I realized. Every car was just like mine. Too humid to even allow for a girl to cry on your shoulder, every guy was grumbling, every girl was crying. Half the audience loved the movie, and half the audience wanted to poke their eyes out...

It struck me as funny...so I laughed.  and KABOOM! My date clobbered me! She thought I was laughing at the gal on the screen. I tried to explain but she was hearing none of it!

It was then I learned one of the truths about women. Even when you are right, YOU ARE STILL WRONG!
Don't bother trying to defend or save yourself. Just take your lumps and shower her with gifts and flowers later.

It's funny, but a number of my epiphanies at that time in life started with a KABOOM!

[catsmtrods]

Oh my! Its a wonder I lived thru it.

The funniest thing we did was on a 35' high bridge over a river. We would walk tightrope style on the guard rail and when a car would go over pretend it shook us off and we would "fall" into the water. Then we would scurry up under the abutments and hide while the driver of the car panicked and searched the water for us. It was funny till someone recognized us and told our parents.  How about the old wallet with a dollar sticking out attached to fishing line laying in the road and a bunch of giggling kids in the bushes waiting to jerk it when someone stopped to pick it up.

Then there was black powder pipe bombs and BB gun fights and everything in between.

I had a similar experience with my mom when I gave her some lip as a teen. Mine wasn't a KABOOOM, it was a SMACK and that was both the first and last time I did that.

True to my member name, I would have laughed too. I have a bad habit of laughing when I shouldn't.

I was an extra in a movie called Ice Castles. This was a movie about an olympic bound figure skater who had a skating accident and became blind. At her comeback performance she skates the performance of her life. She does the old victory lap when the people in the stands start tossing bouquets of flowers down on the ice. She of course can't see the flowers and is falling all over the place. I was able to contain myself the first time, but after the 10th shoot of the exact same scene, it became so slapstick that I had a hard time keeping my composure - and here I am standing right next to the star, Robbie Benson.  I was only 14 years old at the time and I bet the editing crew was pissed.
