What crazy/stupid/cute things did you do as a small kid?


I was playing NFL for the first time on the NES, and after a few minutes of gaming, it said 2-minute warning..... so I turned off the Nintendo because I thought it was going to blow up.


edit: Actual game name was 'NFL Football'; did some google searching.

Speaking of blowing things up, I used to put marshmallows into the microwave and see how far I could go until the thing would blow up into a sticky mess. I think I got to around 1:00 before they'd explode or implode, or whatever...

i drew on everything, not understanding the potential consequences. i.e. i drew on the TV with a needle and a painted wall with a pencil. i wasn't trying to be evil. i was just bored. honestly.

My favorite story.

I just got a Nintendo, and Super Mario Brothers. HAd read through the book (I was 5 at the time. Bleh).

Saw 1 up mushrooms!

Now...If any of you remember the first level of mario brothers...the three goombas at the beginning...

Well...THEY LOOKED LIKE 1up mushrooms!

I died many times until my dad showed me they werent, and showed me how to play.

That game didnt last long as I got zelda a few months after...and the rest is history!

When I was a little girl, I used to be in love with Def Leopard. Every time 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' came on, I'd drop what I was doing at the moment, regardless of what it was, squeal, and start dancing and singing along with it.

I also used to bring snakes and worms in the house from outside to show my mother. I once came in with a handful of worms to ask my mom if I could keep them.. But she never let me.

One time I made a little city consisting completely of tunnels in my sandbox and put like 50 ants in it. I named it, creative as I was, 'Ant City'.

I also used to randomly jump on my brothers' back and start thwacking 'em upside the head. ^^

I thought it would be cool when i was six to jump of my house and land on the trampaline. I jumped, hit the trampaline, then bounced off and slamed head first into my parents car door spliting my head in open.


I went to the hospital and got 59 stiches. Good times!

Not really a little tale, but when I was in eighth grade, the drama club did Midsummer Night's Eve and I was Oberon.

It was an extremely unprofessional production, which is why I thought it'd be okay to take my shoes off (it was hot). So, I started walking around in my socks.

Anyways, there was this scene when I went to grab Puck by the shoulder to pull her back to me. Well, someone forgot to tell me that the floor had been freshly waxed.

So, I grabbed Puck, stepped forward, and slipped. I fell backwards, nearly flipping, pulling her down ontop of me and screaming: "OH SHIT!" in front of hundreds of parents, teachers and colleagues.

Hysterically enough, it was that that made me decide I wanted to keep doing Theater.

When I was little, I tore one of those small Nerf balls apart. And stuck the pieces up my nose.

It stayed there for a while. I didn't have to have surgery or anything, but it was painful removing it. Probably why I have sinus problems now as an adult.

When I was six, I was playing tug-of war with my then three year old sister in the kitchen. I has recently learned that when engaged in tug of war, you could let go and the person would go flying, with hilarious results. So I let go.

My sister goes flying backwards, twists in midair, and does a faceplant right on the corner of the table. Split her forehead wide open.

When I was a kid, I was just HORRIBLE. One of those kids who's too curious for their own good and, while parents know it'll be useful in the future, annoys the HELL out of them at the time. So they arranged for a little "visit" from one of Santa's Elves telling me I was on the Bad Little Girls list and unless I shaped up there'd be no more presents.

His letter had sparkles around it to make it look more... elfy. I did not shape up. What I DID do, however, was ask my mom if that was elf dust. She said yes. So I immediately crumbled it up, ate it, and began jumping off the top bunk trying to fly.

These are hilarious! So incredibly funny!

Once, I swallowed a toy car. Like...one of those Hot Wheels, metal ones. It was so cool, like the Duke of Hazards car...and I swallowed it.

Then once, I dropped my SNES controller in a tub of water by mistake.

I also thought when my mother would video record events, that I was being terribly witty by saying my mother wasn't here, she was at work.

More recently, at drama, during a skit there was some throwing of water. After wards, while talking and joking after the show, I moved backwards to let someone by, slipped, skid around a little and landed on my ass, soaking my pants with the water on the floor.

My brother and sister (2 and 1 years older than me, respectivly) used to catch me, dump all the toys out of the toy box, put me in it, and sit on it to trap me.

I learned to hide in the shoe closet. They never found me there.

It wasn't till I was 25 or so that my mother found out why I used to run into the front room, and lock myself into the shoe closet, never saying a word.

When I was 4 or 5 I climbed a tree and decided it would be easier to get down if I just jumped. Luckily it wasn't too high up and I didn't kill myself. I impaled my arm on a branch, that hurt a lot, and had to go the hospital. I think it was on the ride home we stopped at a Jack in the Box to get food, and my cousin threw her gum out of the window so my mom got out of the car to go get it. I decided to play with the funny stick while my mom was gone, and I accidently made the car go into reverse. Almost ran my mother over. The car ended up ramming into the wall of the restaurant, and we had to pay them to have it fixed.

I had a very interesting childhood.

Uhm, lessee...

Well, I once got a toy lightsaber for my birthday. I think I had turned 7. That made me the happiest kid in the world.

Anywho, my brother had started using weights in the basement then, to try to build muscle for his karate lessons. I got the bright idea to cling to the basement roof with my lightsaber, and attack him when he came down.

Well, I managed to cling to the roof of my basement. That's harder than it looks, but it was possible at the time. It just took good grip. Anyway, my brother came down, and I released my grip, falling back-first.

KA-KA-CRACK. OW! MY SPINE!

Fortunately, I suffered no permanent injury, but I landed on my lightsaber blade, crushing it.

Hmm... More stories, more stories...

Ah, right, the new lightsaber.

Well, I decided to try that again with a red lightsaber (the last one was green), but no roof this time. There was a rather convenient hiding spot underneath the stairs, and I'd ambush my bro from there. He comes down, I scream and start swinging.

Two months later, I regain my nintendo priviledges.

That's about all I can remember at the moment.
