Title: What weird things did you do when you were a kid?...Come On Bear Your Soul !!!
Post by: donding on February 15, 2010, 10:18
It's time for some laughs here to take our minds off..."Fotolia and MostStockPhotos"
Tell us those funny things you did when you were a kid!
I'll start by telling you my darkest secret.... ::) My mother always kept my hair cut short when I was a kid and I always wished I had long hair. I use to put panty hose on my head with the ends rolled up so it appeared I had pig tails and played with my imaginary friend which was a rag mop...since it had long hair too.
My dreams came true because I now have long hair so I no longer need those panty hose!!!!!!! At least not for my head.. ;D

Man I'll probably regret I posted this.............. :-\

Here's one of the stupidest things I did when I was a kid....My brother and I use to pick up railroad ties off the railroad tracks. I had ask him "how do you tell if a train is coming?" He put his ear on the tracks and said "You can feel the vibration on the tracks" So he puts his ear down there and said there isn't anything coming...I looked up and here comes a train around the bend!!!! I screamed at him that a train was coming and we took off running down the tracks. There were fences along the tracks and we had to run quite a ways to get to where we could get off. My brother dropped his stakes and continued to run. I even stopped to pick up the stakes because I didn't want to leave them behind. I got off the tracks just in time!!

I found a dead squirrel in my backyard; I buried it out back, using a potato chips bag for a coffin and two tree branches tied together for a cross. Then I lived in fear of The Spirit of the Dead Squirrel, I lost a lot of sleep over it. I was in the 4th grade.

I fell off a rock wall while playing follow the leader and broke  both of my  arms at the same time. It made the local newspaper. Oh, and I let the bathtub run over one summer afternoon. It spilled between the floors of the house into our kitchen. A huge piece of plaster fell off the kitchen ceiling and almost hit my mother. When my parents got someone to fix the plaster, they discovered 2 tons of honey from a beehive that bees had built between the first and second floors of the house.The kitchen ceiling was about to collapse. They had  to call bee keepers to move the bees. I don't remember how they got the honeycomb and honey out from between the floors of the house. That made the local paper, too. My parents must have been thrilled when I went to college.

I had a tempera, but I did not  have a brush...
So I cut a lock of hair to create a paint brush, only because I could not find it...

When Mom came home from work she found a mess of color and me without  part of my hair ...
She laughed like never before then ..... ;D

I made that thing with metal tube where you put some berry ( i used elder which doesn't wash of when it hits clothes)  inside and blow it out to hit people. A policeman was in the parked car infront of my house with open car window, I couldn't resist  and I hit him in the eye , his face was all purple from that huge soft juicy elder berry , he got out and slapped me few times lol 

 Priceless , for all the rest there is mastercard

Not really weird but a bit stupid .. When I was like 6 my mom ordered a bunch of expensive flower bulbs and planted them outside the house .. my friend and I were digging in the dirt and found them .. we thought they were cat turds so we did her a favor and dug them up and tossed them all out in the street. She comes home and I'm all proud of myself .. "The cat pooped in your flower bed so Clint and me got rid of them for you."  ;D

Yeah she didn't look too happy when she saw about 50 high dollar bulbs smashed all over the street from traffic. I have no idea why we thought they were kitty poo .. they looked nothing like cat turds.

I was a scateboard junkie. If I look at the scars I been carrying for the past 35 years and the things I did to get those scars, I realise that I must have shown absolute determination, undaunted courage as well as strong suicidal tendancies.

I played with fire and a plastic bag in a forrest with dry grass and pinetrees.  Boom and the whole area was on fire ???  I ran home and cried, and mom alarmed the firedepartment and guided them all wrong in panic.  When they finally arrived, dad had it all under control. Luckily there was some rocks in the right place and no wind....    New underwear for me...

These are classified as my husbands, but he was telling me one time when he was a kid he was pulling a wagon behind his tricycle and watching the wagon the whole time. He said he was going pretty fast when all of a sudden he ran right into a stop sign. He hit so hard it threw him off the tricycle into the wagon.

Gotta tell you this one too...even thought he did this as an adult..it would be considered something someone with less maturity would do. He use to always say "Where there's smoke there's fire" It was winter and we had a little auto body shop where we lived and we had to heat it with wood. I was helping him sand down the hood of a car. The fire in the stove wasn't burning very good so he took a gas can and threw the gas inside the wood store.. The next thing I heard was BOOM and then here he comes flying across the top of the hood and onto the floor on the other side. When he stood up I died laughing because his beard, eye brown's and hair at the front were all white where they had gotten hit by the fire. He also had on a polyester shirt and it was all melted. I tried hard not to laugh and the only thing I could say was "You know where there's smoke there"s fire honey" And died laughing again.
