Silly things ya did as a kid.

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

come on i didnt know any better 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!

This reminds me of my turd form camp. We all used up our deodorant can's to the very last spray into the long drop and a dude threw a match into it followed by a huge flame and the whole thing actually caught on fire till someone swatted the part that was on fire with his jacket or something but the wood below the seat was still flaming and the smoke started to go all over the place so everyone scattered as the teachers came running.

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

If you drop a live eel into a hot bath that your sister is in, your sister moves faster than the eel.

when i was 5 years old i killed 2 cats, and horrribly abused another
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
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

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.

[piston broke]

one of the silliest for both me and the old man,
he got me a kids, carpenters tool kit.i was 5.
i proceeded to go around the house drilling holes in the weather boards,
he tells me at least 100 of them.
that drill is still around,it has been used building many a house and boat in the last 30+years

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.

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.
