What's one of the stupidest things you've done as a kid?

**firefighter** · 27th June 2008, 14:41

When I was six, I wanted to make sure mum wasn't lying when she told me that the glass on the fireplace was hot, which resulted in me having no use of my hands for a few weeks....

About the same age I rode down the street (was when kids played on the road with the neighbours) as fast as possible, sitting down, and hit the kerb on purpose hoping without the usual "bunny hop" i'd somehow make it up, flew over the handle bars, landed on my face and grazed up my mouth, nose cheeks, forehead (no helmet) stones sticking out of my arms (lots of road rash) knees torn up......

and everytime I was hurt I was all fixed up by mum, not some A&E clinic......even when I burnt the shit out of my fingers ma. just dealt with it herself.........It wasn't a big deal. I still remember her sending out to play afterwards....back on the road, good on ya mum!

Used my mechano plastic crescent to undo the bolts attaching all the posts of my mums pergola to the ground.

Grabbed a hot iron by the base.

Vaccumed the ashes out of the fireplace and burnt out mums vaccuum.

I could go on for hours lol.

1) Thinking that paint, meths & petrol mixed up in a hole in the ground right on the fence line under a dry tree wouldn't be very flammable. Then telling the firemen that I had no idea how it started and that the fence and the tree had burnt down last guy fawkes... while they were still on fire.

2) After being beaten up for delivering junk mail I decided that for health reasons it would be better to bury them under my house... until 12 months later when my parents decided to build a rumpus room. Must have been there when you bought the house was my response. Putting aside the fact they built it from scratch and the newspapers still had dates on them.

3) After my mother and I bumped into my form teacher at the shops and discussed my mothers upcoming 2 week holiday, my form teacher later said that I must be looking forward to MY trip when in fact I wasn't going. Seizing the opportunity, I took 2 weeks off school where a) Item 1 happened, b) I took my mothers car into town and got pulled over by the cops. Not for doing anything particularly stupid apart from being only 13 1/2.

4) Escaping from the bedsit at our holiday house in the middle of the night to reenact the storming of Normandy only to get stuck half way up a cliff. 2 hours of screaming and we we were finally rescued from the Beachlands volunteer fire brigade.

5) After watching American Graffiti, it gave me an idea on how to seek revenge on a grumpy neighbour. One end of the chain to the car, the other to the car port. Goodbye carport and hello slave labour to pay for it.

6) Inspecting Dad's brand new Holden Kingswood and finding out what "this thing does" Not a great idea on a steep driveway.

7) Drinking beer during lunchtime in Form 2.

There's a few more but these are what spring to mind

**mister.koz** · 27th June 2008, 15:15

Rigged up a jump on the footpath for my bike, decided having a nice fluffy looking tree at the end looked better than road so i came screaming down the drive way, hit the ramp, went through the tree (bike stopped and onto the road knocked out in the path of an on-coming car

Me and a couple of mates decided to go on an 'adventure' ride (on our bicycles.) We rode down this sealed road to see where it went and then along the dirt road at the end. It ended up next to the railway lines and a rail bridge so that became our base camp. We duly lit out little fire to heat up the cans of beans we'd brought along and thought we were doing pretty good. No can opener so the cans went unopened onto the fire. When someone remembered they could explode there was mass panic! Running around trying to figure out how to get the cans out of the fire (that hadn't occured to us beforehand either) I came up with the idea to let them explode. BUT we'd put a big sign that I found over them so we would be safe!
The cans took quite a while to get to explosion point by which stage wooden sign had started burning. Cans explode, burning sign is showered everywhere, farmers field of maize catches fire, shearers quarters catch fire...

Once the maize started going and we couldn't stop it we took off. Farking packed our undies for ages afterwards thinking the cops were looking for us!!

Was about 16 - out the back of the boondocks with mates.

Pissed and stoned with a 22 rifle.

2 of us surfing on top of the car down gravel roads whilst shooting at opposums - one spotting from the roof, one shooting from the bonnet.

One pissed, stoner driving with no licence - he was 14.

Jesus - makes me wonder how we never died that night.

Other stupid things -

Threw a guy off a balcony once - got arrested.

Woke up next to a really, really, really fat and extremtly ugly chick once - had shaving rash on my face..(WTF).. looked under covers ..... oh shit...stubble..... ran out of house only to find I had no idea what town I was in.

ahh - good times.
