Answer 2

When I was 3, I snuck out of my babysitter's home very early in the morning and walked across a major highway and big intersections during morning rush hour traffic, headed for my grandma's house. It was January with at least 1 ft of snow on the ground and I was wearing no coat, a turtle neck, pants, and cowboy boots on the wrong feet with no socks. I actually made it quite far, walking about 20 mins and getting within 2 or 3 streets of my grandma's when someone spotted me and took me to a nearby convenience store to warm up and call my mother. What surprises me is that no one stopped me sooner. That was 27 years ago and I can still remember sitting on the pinball machine at the store, everyone crowding around me and giving me hot chocolate and wrapping coats around me. When my mother walked in crying and frantic they all looked at her like she was the worst mother in the world. I don't remember getting punished, but I did get a new babysitter.

Answer 3

This occurred Halloween of 1975. I was supposed to meet up at a friend's house and their mom was going to take us Trick or Treating. On my way walking to his house, I stopped at various houses, collecting candy. I was having so much fun, I totally forgot I had plans. So I was out like past 10 PM (as a 6 year old, LOL) and my parents were freaking out, but with very good reason. But hey, time flies when you're having fun!

Answer 4

My friend and I used to hang out in my moms car listening to the radio (we were maybe 7 or 8) when one day she dared me to turn the ignition on (we lived in an apartment/townhouse complex and happened to be parked facing someones fenced yard)...



Needless to say I was dumb enough to take the dare and managed to drive us ONTO the curb and into the neighbors fence - no real damage was done since we were going so slow (I didn't know you had to press the brake to get the car to stop) but the neighbor came out and made us tell our parents.



He was nice enough to move the car back into the spot but my friend also convinced me to call my mother back and tell her that I was joking about driving the car into a fence.



Wasn't friends with her much longer after that incident.

Answer 5

Well after I gave MYSELF (4 yrs old) a hair cut, I thought it would be fun to tweeze my eyebrows and then cut them with my little safe scissors. NOT A GOOD IDEA! I looked like Fire Marshall Bill (jim Carey character from inliving Color)



When I was 7 me and my cousin, we used to play "Talk Show Host" in the Bathroom (the toilet was the host seat and the guest sat on the tub like a bench seat.)at my grandmas. well i offered my "guest" (my cousin) a drink from the sink and there was a little shot glass sitting on the bathroom sink. My aunt came in to see what we were doing and laughed at our creative imagination until she looked over at the sink and saw the shot glass empty. She started to panic and asked me what happened and if I touched the shot glass. Appearently, while visiting at my grandmothers for a long weekend she forgot her contact case. Needless to say I drank her contacts..lol..

Answer 6

when i was 4 or 5 my dad bought me a kite and helped me launch it,then started to talk to somebody and i walked some distance away.the kite was so high i could barely see it,so i started reeling it in,wrapping the string AROUND MY THUMB! when my thumb started to look like a purple tootsie roll pop, i realized something was wrong.it really started hurting too! i began to cry and then scream. my dad ran over,freaked out and unraveled the string as fast as he could.no permanent harm was done but i think he said that was the the most idiotic stunt i ever pulled..

Answer 7

ha alright..

i was always really short when i was little.. umm actually i still am.. anyways..

my dad had these crutches from when he had broken his leg.. and the top of them were above my head and the part that you grasp on to came to about my ribs.. that's how short i was.. and i was about six..

so i got this grand idea that i was going to make the crutches into stilts..

i grabbed them and climbed onto my kitchen counter.. i put my feet on the grasping part and help onto where your shoulders would go.. and then i tried to take a step..

well umm.. i went face first into the floor.. i never thought to put my feet out to break my fall lol..

after that my parents made my sister not let me out of her sight when they weren't home..

that's just one of the many stupid things i did as a kid..

I wanted to go play with one of my friends down the street and my cat wanted to go. (I wasn't suppose to take her away from the house) I picked her up and carried her with me. I knocked on the door, nobody was home....BUT, their dog heard my knocks and jumped up to the fence where I was standing. It scared my cat so bad, she tried to climb ME! I ran home with the cat on top of my head, her claws imbeded in my head, blood running down my face. My mom totally freaked! I still have a small scar on my face.
