I'm just curious, what did you peeps do as a kid that wasn't "bad" but an incident that was unforgettable and really annoying at the same time that made your parents flip out/cost them a ton of cash because of stupidity or a dare. One time I went to a trip to a big city three hours away. I messed up the time I was supposed to meet with the group and after a half an hour of waiting, I called my mom collect when my teacher came two minutes after she picked up the phone. My brother also found his way at the top of a mountain while skiing because he took the wrong chair lift. He also called collect to my mom in a blind panic. I think he got down via ski patrol. She still wonders which one out of us was worse when it came to ending up calling collect because of a moment of panic. Oh yeah, my brother also bought two Siberian Husky puppies, at separate times, without asking and/or realizing he didn't have the time for them, and we didn't have the space for them.
I was on a beach, standing up on the lower end of a slide, chatting with my lil sis. Some smartass kid I hadn' t noticed threw a bucket of water on the slide to make it real slidy, and aimed at my feet with his. A half salto and a landing right on my skull later, it only took a few seconds for my whole back to turn bloody red. My sis went hysteric, trying her best to shed as much tears as I was shedding blood or something, and the smartass went poof like a true (but quite livid) ninja. As for me I just left, walking aimlessly in what I can only describe as a zombified state of mind, I wasn' t feeling any pain. I suppose my sis went back to my mum and warned her, she eventually found and grabbed me to the nearest doctor who sewed me right back without anaesthetics. Good times !
... I once stuck my hands in a toaster... while it was on. Yeah, that was a fun day of blistering and burns xD Another day I had this tiny mirror sequin, like the ones in this pattern: Spoiler The thought that went through my head was, "if I put this in my ear it would make my ear REALLY shiny : D". Needless to say I had to go to the emergency room to get it removed. Also, my friend, when she was about 4, got into her mums car and took off the handbrake or something causing it to crash into the house which I thought was quite funny.
I was the good kid when I was little, but I would do some things that would make my parents mad. For example, when I was little my parents put gates on the door of my room to have it so that I wouldn't get out of bed. The first gate was a wooden gate that went up to halfway and to get over it I would make stairs out of my toys. The second gate was a plastic gate covering the entire door, simply pushed that one over, although it took a while. The last one was a metal gate, but I climbed over that one.
When I was seven or eight I had to do a big project for class, so my mom went out and bought a brand new pair of scissors (which are still in the house to this day). Needless to say my curiosity got the better of me, and my thumb was sliced wide open. Surprisingly, I didn't feel any pain or disgust -- though if the same thing were to happen to me today, that would be quite a different story -- and it took like three or four hours for my mom and grandma to stop the bleeding. Yeah, I was never too gutsy as a kid.
The time my parents thought I was kidnapped because they didn't see me with them in the mall when I was 7. After a few hours, I found them. When they asked where'd I go, I said that I went to the restroom. :P
