Silly things you did as a kid.

When I was 3 or 4, I was fascinated with the pop-up e-brake in my dad's pickup. We'd stopped for the night in N-Cali, somewhere on the American river. My folks left my sister and I in the truck (at the top of a sloped parking lot) while they went in to check out the hotel (on stilts, between the parking lot and a cliff with the river below).

Curiousity got the best of me and I released the brake. The truck rolled down the parking lot and hit one of the support stilts, while my sister screamed and my folks watched on in horror from inside the hotel office.

I don't think my dad ever did a better job of tanning my ass.

ok so here's mine. When I was like 5 or 6 years old, I was outside getting my grandfather's newspaper at the end of the drive for him. The neighbor asked me to ask my grandfather if he could borrow the newspaper when he was finished.
Well I went in and told my grandfather the neighbor asked for the newspaper again. My grandfather was joking and said "Tell him to get his own damn paper".

I went outside and told the neighbor to get his own damn paper and my grandparents were mortified. The neighbor never asked to borrow the paper again.

I'm a bad influence...I love telling kids to say things like that.

When I was little I wanted to shave just like my dad. So my mom got my a razor and took the blade out of it. I would put on the shaving cream and shave almost daily. It must of pissed my dad off that i used so much shaving cream. The ironic thing is now I do shave every day and hate it.

I tried to pee standing up by putting my feet on the side of the tub and leaning over the toilet bowl. It didn't work out so good. I had a big mess to clean up before anyone caught me.

I couldn't understand why my Dad and brother could do it, but I couldn't.

I had some weird 'toys of the time' when I was a kid...

I use to take my Mattel 'Thing Maker' and put it in my 'Incredible Edibles' box...have some friends come over, then cook up some rubber dinosaurs and watch my friends try to eat 'em.


....Guess ya had to be there.

Me too!! Only I peed into a squirt bottle, so that I could accomplish that.

What a freak. I think I must have had a very troubled childhood......

I was so mean to my little brother. One time he was chasing me down the hallway and just inside my bedroom door was a dresser... I ran and hid on the other side of it and pulled out a drawer. BAM

FUCK! Yeah, I tried that too... Oooooh, bright red thingy, must touch, AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I remember it sooo vividly... I was around 4 or 5 and my mom had gone to lift the garage door up. When she came back I was screaming my head off.

My mother told me I pulled the heads off of my Barbie's and would try to put them back on to another Barbie's body. I didn't believe her, so I went upstairs to my Taco Cabana pink room, took out my "going to grandma's" red suitcase where I kept my Barbie's. I slowly opened it, and there was about 7 decapitated Barbie's with their heads off to the side. I just about died laughing.

I had a stuffed koala bear with realistic-looking fur as a kid.

I got ahold of my dad's electric shear and proceeded to shear the fur off. I thought it would grow back! Honest!


Another time, my mom heard a "pssshh..." again "pssshh..." She followed the source of the sound to the bathroom where she saw me spraying my hair with a can of aerosol. Mom asked what are you doing??? I said something like, "spraying my hair like you do with yours." Only problem was, it was underarm deoderant for women. I was 6 years old.

I played with my Dad's car lighter....65 Ford Galaxy 500...not only is the glow in those things pretty...it makes these cool little "ringy circle" patterns allllll over the dash and the vinyl seat covers....

oddly enough I don't recall us ever having a car after that one that even HAD the cigarette lighter in them....

You nappy-headed ho!

For what its worth, other things I did as a kid, maybe not silly, but stupid: Climbed a small tree too high, and broke off the top 15 feet of it while hanging on for dear life and taking it to the ground with me. Ouch!

Taking dad's lawn tractor out while he and mom were gone for the weekend and letting my friend ride it around the yard. He'd never ridden one before. Tried going up the hill, missed a gear and started rolling backward downhill without knowing how to stop it. He panicked and jumped off, and the tractor kind of jack-knifed and flipped over to an upside down position against a tree. Holy shit... My friend wasn't hurt, but the axle and steering column was screwed up. We did right it and I was able to re-start it after 5 minutes of trying, and I drove it right back to where it was before, hoping dad wouldn't find out. He did, the next time he was going to use it. He already knew what I did, just by looking at it. I took the heat for it, not letting him know my friend was driving it. I'm sure I would have been in worse trouble had he known about that.

When I was learning to walk, my dad put the locks on the cupboard doors and I would be right behind him opening them up. They have video of me doing it. I could open the doors better then my folks could.

Fortunately, there is a collection of such anectdotes in a hilarious book called "Up To No Good - The Rascally Things Boys Do". I enjoyed it immensely.
