Looking back on my childhood i really have to wonder how i survived...

Would like to hear what things other people had happen as a kid...

I will start...

Playing around in the tress at grandmas old place up near leigh...

Slipped and fell and had an almost vertical cliff under me, holding onto one tree branch, other cousins couldnt get to me and i eventually let go, slid 50 metres down onto the rocks...

Got up and walked away, how i didnt break anything is beyond me...

ahhh racing home built wooden go karts down hills.... rolling them and being pinned under than and dragged down the street etc, sideways into power poles at 20kph etc...

Not quite relevant, but i had a tree hut, well eventually the whole tree gave in and fell on grandmas car. :dodge:

Anybody else wonder how they survived childhood lol...

After watching too much "Mad Dog Gang" as an 8 year old, I tied the swing Dad had made for me (bloody solid thing it was too, him being a fitter-welder by trade) to the back of his tractor with a shitty old piece of rope and covered the rope with hay. How he did not notice, I'll never know. Anyways, off he goes down the paddock towing my swing behind him. Confused the hell out of me, coz I had expected the tractor not to be able to go anywhere due to being tied to the swing. Yeah, yeah, I know, but I was only 8! :rofl:

Boy, did I get a smack for that! Swing was buggered too - it lay there by the shed all twisted and broken, mocking me for months. Eventually we all saw the funny side of it (my parents quite a while sooner than I) and Dad told the story at my wedding.

ROFL that takes the cake pretty well.

Dad was sanding his old mitsi starion once for a repaint.....had almost the whole car done all prepped perfectly, was just doing a light sand round the front...

Well my sister being all of 4 or 5 at the time decided to help daddy!, got out some 60 grit and took the the bumper.... then showed daddy at the end....

went something like :(:mad:

1. Putting a lit firecracker on the windowsill of the lounge - from the outside - while me mum was inside...it went off...so did she.....louder than the cracker as it turned out...(note: NEVER scare yr mum...)

2. Using a large metal key to try to unplug the vacuum cleaner that my older bro was using (having been told NEVER to play with plugs)...key contacted the pins...quite a big bang again.....blamed it on my little sister (who was only crawling at the time)...

3. Lighting a match underneath an armchair. The hessian covering on the bottom caught fire. I just upped and ran like hell...it must have gone out 'cause the house didn't burn down...

4. Jumping off the shed roof...no wonder I didn't get very tall...

5. Opening a farm gate at the beach...on a field full of cows (WAS full of cows)...errrr we never did get the blame for that one...

My friends and I superglued our fingers together on out bicycle handlebars so that we couldn't use the brakes and went for a ride down a steepish road.
Had to ride into the flax bushes at the bottom of hte hill at full speed...and of course back then no one wore helmets.

Used to play on the cliffs down at the local beach, swinging on flax leaves out across the cliff face too....

Lots of danger with flax really

I done that on my dad's "group a" commodore 2 year old origional group a. I had seen my grandad sanding a wodden chair and I asked why he does that he told me " to make to edges smooth" so i shove a bit of it in my pocket roll out into the drive way on my big wheel and proceed to "smooth out" my dad bumbper , bonnet, front gaurd's ect i cant remember the grit bit was bigger than 60 grit i can tell you that.

i was about 4-5. oh and when he sold it i ran up and down our road crying.... i dont know why but aparntly did it for over an hour.

oh and if dad was replacing the brake pad's or anything liek that i used to ask " what's wrong with my car dad? "

Dishwashing powder is the most toxic thing in a home. He is indeed very lucky not to have killed his brother. I have heard of a child who now needs to be fed through a tube due to having his oesophagus completely burned. Very sad :(

Thats what I was told. aparntly he was extremely lucky. we where both young i must of been about 6.

he had a abnoral obsession for lollies more so than any normal kid so if i hurt him or mad e him cry all i had to do to stop him from telling my mum is that i would give him lollies and he would stop.. so one day i thought i could trick him and that was the outcome lol.

come on i didnt know any better lol.

Oh and the broken leg happend on Chrismas day. my dad said it was just bruised and i was crying about nothing, i draged my self around he house for 2 days before my parents thought to take me to the hospital... man my dad felt guilty after we got the x-rays. could of asked for anything that day and i would have got it. lol

No, you were only 6 as you say. The stuff should have been locked away. Being a Mum of a youngun, I tend to be a sensitive about these things and don't like hearing it joked about. Don't mind me, I'm just an old fart. ;)

oh another one - i just remembered because i looked at my foot.

around about 3-4 i was geting dubed on my neighbors bike he was about 13 and my feet where up on the front forks my left foot slipped and i fell foward's we where going down hill really fast ( for a 4 year old ) my fit sliped lower and all i remember was something ripping me from the bike then being draged behind it. my foot got caught between the chain and sprket and it cut the bottem of my heel right through. that was 46 stitches if i remember correctly ( read this in my plunket book if you remember thoes ) and I still have the scar about 18-19 years later.

Was helping my dad while he was working on the car, he had just done the cambelt i think and was trying to set the timing.

I was in the car (at about 5 or 6yo) and was told 'wait til i say, then turn the key'... The radio was going and i thought i heard him say now, so i turned the key. He luckily didnt get caught in the cams or the belt, but it did backfire through the carb straight into his face.

Another time at school camp, in form 1 i think, i found a lighter. Just after i finished on the toilet i thought it would be smart to light the toilet paper on fire. Only problem was it was one of those plastic enclosure things with 3 or 4 rolls of toilet paper where you can only reach the first roll - the top is locked.

So anyway, I lit the start of the bottom roll, which quickly burnt up into the holder, and ignited the 2nd roll - which i couldnt reach. As you can imagine the whole thing started burning. So i flushed the loo and did a runner. Luckily a parent was around the corner (didnt see me), saw the the smoke and went in with the fire hose and put out the fire. We got a big grilling on it and everyones pockets were searched - i'd thought about that so i'd already thrown the lighter into the bush!

They put the fire out but the smell of burning human feces carried on through the night and lingered long after. Hahahahahaha:headbang:

One was called tiger , it would scracth me so i would pick it up by its back legs on a weekly basis swing it in the air and throw it in to walls,eventually it ran away and found another home
I killed my first kitten/cat called Percy when i was 5 by drowning it in a puddle after a storm, i thought the cat needed a good clean until it was like a rag doll when i pulled the poor thing out
The second cat called Neo i purposely chased out on to the road when a car came, but i cried days after it happened
I feel so bad about what i did, i treat cats good now and i love to play with kittens there so cute

Using my fathers backpack sprayer filled with petrol as a flame thrower seemed like a good idea at the time.....awesome fireballs.Worked a treat on cabbage white Butterflies too, until got a bit close to the Macrocarpa hedge & the Fire brigade had to come to the rescue:spanking:
Pinching half of Hawkes Bays garden gnome population was also fun 'till we got rumbled & had to wag school & hot wire my mates sisters beach buggy & get rid of about a ton of them:Punk:

Im jealous of you now, i did the same thing you did 4 years ago when i was 13 at whangaparaoa college.Except i lit the junior block toilets on fire by covering them all with toilet paper and lighting a macth to it. Got me expelled and a meeting with the board of trustees and the principle and a nasty fine.but a good reputation at school though but still it was so not worth it.

Whats frustrating about this thread is that there are so many funny stories about silly things me and my mates did as kids that I could think of any other day but my mind has gone a blank.

Actually heres ONE: I can't have been older than 7 and obviously thought I was pretty tough, I was the shit, so I got my mate who was 2 years younger than me to ride the brand new pw50 I had straight over my chest at full speed while I lie down in front of it for a bit of a laugh. That was the first time I had been winded, I thought I was going to die, hahahahaha.

Theres another one that should have a few people laughing their asses off (my brother certainly does every time it's brought up) I'm not sure I should disclose on the internet so let's save that for another day, eh.:nono:

My old neighbour and I decided when we were kids that it would be a cool idea to throw darts (from a dart board) at a pillow that we would hold up. Needless to say the dart looked strange stuck in my neck. My mum didn't think it was a good idea.

Was 5 and lived in the Papakura army camp housing.

Me and my mate were cooking 'chips' on a 'tin can oven'...you know take a large tin, build a fire under it voila!

What we didn't realise at that age was that it was not a good idea to do this under a LARGE tinder dry hedge that acts as a divider/fence for about 6 houses...ran along the back of all the houses and down the middle on both sides of each house.....we were under the hedge cos we knew we shouldn't have matches.

Anyway long story short - hedge caught fire VERY QUICKLY!

Result: Neither of us could sit down for weeks (back in the old days when parents hit their kids for being naughty) and we never did get to try our chips either :shifty:

Ooooh, that reminds me - when I was a teenager and Mum was away, I was responsible for cooking dinner and doing the washing up. Anyways, I left a pan of dripping (the good ole days, none of this namby pamby mono-unsaturated fat for us!) on the element to melt so I could tip it out. I got distracted by something and the pan caught fire. My dad set fire to the curtains and burnt his arm quite badly when he threw the pan into the sink to put it out :( :o

Err.. just a couple of years ago figured it'd be a good idea to tie a couple of bikes to the back of a car and roll around on 'em. Ended up with stiches in my head, skin graf on my shoulder and lots and lots of scars.

When I was 3 I swallowed half a container of my grandmother's anti-depressants. First and, so far, only stomach pump.

When 13, and particularly drunk, we decided to see how long we could hold a lighter under our arms. we've all got very impressive scars now..

when i was 5-6 i was throwing lumps of firewood backwards over my head out the door of a shed so my brother and dad could load it on the trailor, got a real light bit and threw it too high, bounced of the door and smoked me in the back of the head, didn't know it was split till i walked in the house and mum FREAKED out..

on a class trip in 3rd form thought id be cool and jump off the swing in full flight, na, foot caught in swing and instead of flying a great distance i smoked my head into the ground and absorbed all the impact with the side of my face, no big cuts or breaks just wobbly for a few days after..

2 weeks ago at my buddies farm i was doing donuts (on the road outside) on a scooter that we welded a side chair on, tried being the hero, lost control and hit a fence head on, i tried to jump off before impact to clear the fence but feet clipped the bars and i did a flip, landed on my fuckin face again..

its amazing im still so god dam good looking haha

When I was about 15 I became a bit self-conscious and decided to shave off my pubes.

The shaving wasn't the dumbest thing I ever did.

But slapping on a big handful of 4711 eau de cologne after I had finished might well be.

My eyes start watering even just thinking about it.

Probably the dumbest thing my big brother ever did....

I had a little red coat like little girls do and it had a hood.

I was an artist at a young age - painted the walls in the lounge with butter, learnt to smudge professionally. This was later upgraded to mud on cars!

Tying a sheet to your brother and lowering him out the bedroom window (two storey house!) like on the movies escaping fire etc dosent work.

Designing a kite and attaching your brother to it to watch him fly off the 10 foot high bank also dosent work.

Cutting a 44 gallon drum in half shoving your brother in and seeing how fast he goes down the same bank actually worked!

Towing a suitcase behind the farm quad my brother and i sitting in half and half yep! no helmets but the cow pats broke our falls.

Going to your best friends place, smoking pencil shavings on the one occasion, then realised using tea leaves was easier to roll smoking it and choking half to death.

Taking an inexperienced friend out sailing, capsizing the hobie cat and ploughed into a parked cargo ship at Port of Tauranga. 3 rescue boats later we were back on land.

Rubberbands and those big hair clips at school. Seriously, these suckers went through 14 sheets of printing A4 paper.
A&E, a -Hi(gh?) femur or sommat. Told my eye would either suck in the excess blood or not. Fucking bad dude, every time I excerted myself the blood would just gush into my eye and block my vision.

Uuuuhm, when I filled up a latex glove with petrol. Figred it'd be cool when I put a flame next to it. Nope. Got three big breaths in when it popped in my face. Petrol + eyes = bad. Luckily I was right next to the hose. Pity petrol doesn't like water, and it sticks to skin.

Uh, made a potato launcher. 6mm thick mild steel tube @ 4m long. Big oil drum on one end. Fatass potato in one the other, and drum full of gas vapour. It worked like I'd thought. Through 6 pieces of drywall, my 'safety' MDF board and the fence. Never found it, nor heard of death by potato. Quickly decommisioned and forgotten.

Erm. Making flash powder.
This is where my pyrotechnics stopped. Except for smoke bombs, they're harmless. (And on a humid morning will, not kidding here, give you a 5m vision for about 6 houses down the road. Shit was not cool with the neighbours. Smelled like cotton candy though.).
But yeah. Having made a couple batches of 10g and pleasently satisfied...
A 250g batch was made. All carefully pushed into an old firework. Put in the wick, Made sure there was nothing behind me to fall on. I lit it, ran. The loudest fucking bang I'd ever heard. I realised that flash powder was not a toy. It actually had a blast radius. Pushed out 7 drywall pieces in the garage and fractured half of the others. Erm. They've always been like that!

So I've got about 20kg of Potassium Nitrate in the garage doing nothing now.
That's really it for the real stupid things.

I put .22 longs into the bench vice pointing down, then hopped up on the bench and banged the eds of the shells with a hammer. Could never find the cases or the bullets afterwards.

A guy I used to work with told us how they would sneak out of church and tie the bumpers of the cars together with number 8. This was in a maori village up the east coast when everyone would go to church on sunday morning, and also when cars had real steel bumpers that bolted to something solid. Apparently it was funny watching the first car in the line start off

When I was about 15 I became a bit self-conscious and decided to shave off my pubes.

1. Terrified of gun shells.
2. Haven't shaved my balls. Yet.

How could you not worry about the gun shells?!
How could you not itch for the next week?!

Being towed and towing mates along 'The Gap' at Castlpoint at 55mph, thats 88km/h kids.
No helmets, no pads just boggie boards and a long rope.

If there was ever a time when my Nana was right in saying "You'll break your bloody neck!" this was it.

'Twas cool when you could swing into the water and briefly overtake the car, untill the rope went taught again.
It's amazing how many times you can roll and bounce at this speed on sand!

When I was about 7 I was looking for a snack, had a bit of a sweet tooth so hit the freezer looking for icecream.
There was none left except for a little pool of re frozen melted stuff on the freezer floor, I was pretty greedy and not overly diserning so i decided to lick it up! (nom! nom!) The freezer was one of those old metally kind of lined ones and as a concequence my tounge stuck fast! Had to Yell UMM!! UMM!! untill my Mum came to save me, which took a while casue the bitch was to busy pissing herself.
I used to work at the Mooloo ice cream factory in Hamilton and the boss's son did the same thing trying to lick flavouring off the side of the machinery.I was laughing too much to free him.

At age 10, I floated downstream in a car tube, on the Oreti river in Southland. From near Waianiwa at the rail bridge at Branxholme, to the bridge on the road to the main Oreti beach...near Teratonga racetrack. I rang dad to come and get me. To be told ...you got there...you get yourself home. So I walked back in the dark) to Wallacetown where I lived. It was daylight when I got home... didnt (couldn't) sit (or walk) for a week.

This is one funny thread. I'm running out of rep to give away.
1. 14 years old with a good mate helping Dad demolish his bach. Dad runs a load out to the dump so we might as well get the .22 out and shoot the house up a bit. He wont know... until he gets home and finds his 30ft caravan parked on the other side of the bach riddled with bullet holes. Turned out it was lucky for us it was there, otherwise we would have been shooting up the neighbors house.
2. 19 years old, pissed and bonnet surfing on a Falcoon 500 down a Hastings backroad. I woke up to the stupidity of what we were doing at around 60mph. He never managed to straighten out his wiper arms properly.
3. 12 years old and goofing off with a mates Dads' hunting bow and hunting arrows. Standing in the middle of a field, one of us would fire it straight up in the air then all 6 of us would scatter.

I've always thought it best not to be too judgemental of people doing fucked up things when they are young. Most of us survive it, but I still cringe when I think of the kinds of things written above. They aint even the worst.

Bolted a sofa to a prefect subframe, ditched the body altoghther and went rallying out the back of Eketahuna. Also bolted a motor mower motor to a pushbike frame, direct friction drive onto the rear wheel, clocked at over 70mph with no helmet, bugga I believe I survived both attempts to rid the gene pool of myself !!!:2thumbsup
:woohoo:

Hmm... the silliest thing I've done is fall of a horse and brake my finger. I think.
I don't know.

Mum and Dad did enough silly things as children to know every trick in the book. I couldn't get away with anything! (Damnit!) :lol:

But Dad did try and be superman, got the cape and everything and tried jumping off the roof thinking he could fly... teeth went through his tongue and he ended up having to get stiches in it. Got home, tried to steal a swig of his fathers beer... and what does that do?
Dissolve them! :lol: Had to go and get them done again! :lol:

when I was seven I lit a match to see how much petrol was left in the tin...:stupid:

at nine racing a home built wooden go kart down mount Eden road with three others, it got so fast that it broke in two causing the other two to crash as well... broken arm, 4' nail in the back of my leg & our mate split open his head we were just glad no one told our olds that we had been useing the road as a race track... I think we pissed a few people off that day... kids :innocent:

Back in the day (when you could buy double happy's from the fruit shop )we used to live next to a sheep paddock and every year at guyfawkes we would hunt around said paddock for sheep shits that met certain criteria.
They had to be big and dry on the outside but still mushy in the middle. We would then insert a double happy and hold the sheep shit till the last possiable momment,(surprisingly we all still have our fingers) throwing it as high and as far as we could, the resulting shit shower was magnificent. :clap:
This pass time continued for several years untill our elderly neighbour became sick of cleaning the results off his glass house and we were asked to stop.

We had hours of fun with double happy's and stock piled a massive amount under my brothers bed when they were banned, after this they were used sparingly and for covert operations only.

Offcourse it's a little close to home to be funny if you have rellies over there but just ignore it if it is a sensitive subject for you. It's obviously not for him so just ignore it.

p.s-constructive, aint it!?

Indeed. It only takes about half an hour after any tragedy for the jokes to start. I cite the death of Diana Princess of Wales, both space shuttle tragedies, 9/11, the list goes on. All of the people involved in all of the above had friends and loved ones.

There is humour in all human misery. It is that, together with revenge and cooked food, that sets us apart from all other life on this planet.

Get over it.

If you guys had family over in australia in the fires how would you feel, already 108 people have died,who knows how many next its not a laughing matter.Heck i dont know if my uncle earl is still alive yet

Most people if they are genuinely concerned do something proactive like - picking up the phone and calling to make sure loved ones are all ok.

Others just make comments like yours to make their post seem more serious.

Anyway ...

Stupid things I used to do as a kid? Fireworks night we used to sit on my mates garage roof and use skyrockets as missiles and fire them at the fuel pumps of the depot behind his house.

I didn't do this myself but sometimes I wish I had....

Guy I knew built a "rocket launcher"...four cardboard tubes taped together in a 2x2 format. Put carefully selected wires through the tubes close to the bottom...attached wires to horn circuit of the scooter he rode...strapped launcher onto side of same...Tubes were loaded with skyrockets, pulled down so that touch paper was in contact with wires....when horn button was depressed, wires would heat, ignite touch paper and launch rockets....so if a car was in the way......you get the idea.
He used it against trains mostly although he did accidentally shoot a van in the city once when he "forgot" he had it loaded....and went to honk the horn...
I did see this thing in action once...impressive to say the least although launch was a little slow. Getting just the right weight of wire was the trick - it had to glow with the current but not burn out....I think he used heavy gauge fuse wire or nichrome or somesuch....he eventually dismantled it in a hurry and buried the evidence after a tipoff that the rozzas were onto him....funny that...

A friend and I tried a similar thing back in the days of Dunedin's Unicol skyrocket wars.

VW kombi with two dozen waterpipe tubes in the back, open the door, fire the rockets and go

At least that was the plan

Forgot to allow for all smoke - inside the van - we couldn't see to drive

But there are no more skyrockets in NZ... I'm off to the drawing board to make my own v2 flying bomb launchable from the back of my car when I sound the horn

Oh man, I've laughed 'til I stopped.

There's been a swag of them, then again, I am an old fart:

From the BMW (Before Motorcycles & Women) files -

Using a can of ether-based Ezy-Start for an extended period whilst assisting Dad with a recalcitrant chainsaw in an enclosed part of the workshop resulted in a unique and unspoken "No-one need know - Cone of Silence" father/son bonding moment. After we had stepped outside for a few breaths of the clean stuff.

And using a pitch-fork as a helpful device to cross a drain full of water may have worked better if one of the fork tines did not suddenly find itself protruding from the bottom of my foot, having entered from the top of my foot. The most recent job the fork had done was moving pigshit....
