What's the most stupid thing you did when you were younger?

I hit a small pebble on my sister's forehead ( actually we were playing). Even today I regret what I did & thank God nothing serious happened. Today, just a minute scar can be noticed on her forehead.

Well not sure of my age at the time. I think i was around six maybe. There were these little ball things that were on the end of antennas. Smaller then a marble. Well i can't remember exactly what both my brother and I were doing but some how i managed to end up swallowing the ball part cause it could unscrew off the top. Anyways my brother told me to drink a big glass of water. And we never told no one else cause didn't want to get in trouble. So im sure its long gone through my digestive system now. LOL.

Hi calai, my cousin and me wrote letters, supposedly from our mothers, requesting we be allowed to go home at lunch time. The ridiculous part was we thought we would get away with it. We were met at the front of the school by our mothers, and were then confronted by our teacher, who had alerted them. They all had a good laugh, and we weren't punished.

I had something similar happen!

In second grade my teacher brought in a chili plant. It was beautiful! She said not to touch it but not why. Of course, I touched it! Then I rubbed my eye--OUCH!! I didn't want her to know that I'd been so stupid so I sat there calmly while my eye felt like it was burning up. When recess came I went to the bathroom and drenched my eye till it felt a little better!

After that, I always asked why!

I don’t remember how old I was; I think I was quiet young, about five maybe. I decided to light some candles and let the wax drip on my fingers, I think I was trying to cover my hands with wax like a glove...I know...Pretty silly! As you can imagine, I poured the wax on my thumb and that was enough! I had a blister the size of a marble and I still recall screaming my head off as my mother was attempting to burst it and disinfect it!

At naptime in Kindergarten our teacher would often take a bathroom break. As soon as the door door closed, someone would always yell, "Teacher's gone!" and we would all sit up and talk. Then one day no one yelled when she left the room, so I sat up and did it. Unfortunately, I didn't see that the school nurse had slipped in and was sitting in a chair in the corner! I was caught in the act with the whole class for witnesses.

when i was child i always eat my nose dirt.i like very much when i was child.then someday my mom saw me eat it and my mom was very angry and shame on me because i did it.i can't forget it along my life

I tried to fix our night light with the portrait of virgin mother in it and its quite nice to see when its dark. However, the electric cord was too short so I cut the cord and connected it with longer cord. But at that time I did not realise that there are two cords (positive and negative). Before we slept that night, I told my father to plug it in and we had a short circuit at home, we didn't have electricity all night. Was not a very smart thing! I learned from it though, that I repaired a lot of our flourescent lights who were in storage and made them work again.

Well,

1. When I was veeery young I mistook an ammost finished bar of blue soap for chewing-gum and I ate it.

2. Not so much older, I thought the vey old woman owner of the bar I used to go was a beggar and I gave her money. In my head there was a connection: old/bad-looking/poor. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

3. When I was in first grade the teacher was explaining how plants make roots, and she did it by putting beans in the cotton. In the afternoon I went to the shop with my mum and while she was buyng fruits I picked one bean of any kind there was in the shop and as soon as I went home I gave them to my mum proudly, without realzing they were STOLEN. My mum was so shocked I still remember it, and I could never ever steal anything, not ever a bean, again.

There would be more, I just have to think about it...

Soon as I read the discussion question, the first thing that struck was the chewing gum incident. I still can't believe I could be so dumb as I was on that day when I had bought a handful of gums on eat on my school trip and a friend bluntly told me that chewing gums are detrimental to health and I came to believe it seriously. To top that, he even asked me to hand over the gums to him which he would later on dispose of at a rightful place, to which I thankfully agreed. Many years hence, we would still joke about this (now) stupid thing which I then did completely out of innocence.
