When I was a kid there was a big field near our home where rice and watermelon were being alternately planted . This was where I and my playmates fly kites during summertime. One summer, we saw the big watermelons in the field and we thought it was not bad if we would get some. Anyway there were a lot. So we entered the field and got 3 big watermelons. We feasted happily on the watermelons which were so sweet! We enjoyed the stolen watermelons a lot so we repeat for few more times. Unfortunately, one time the caretaker of the field came and we were caught in the act. We were reported to our parents and we got spanked and for quite some time were put under "house arrest" for few days and were blocked from going to that field again. Were you ever involved in naughty actions when you were a kid?

@salonga There is one thing I remember I did alone. I was going somewhere and I spotted a fully ripe mango in a compound that had barbed wire fencing. I put my hand through that barbed wire and picked that mango (lol)

while farmer complaints of us to parents then how we look and we feel like doing guilty and our parents also give some punishment but the thing we enjoy during doing it is most important at that time for us but not for parents....

Whoaaaa! Hahaha! I have never tried that as a kid, but that must be fun. HIhihihi! Of course, as a child, we will think that it's okay to have some because there are a lot. What I have done before when I was a child was, I juggled those eggs at a stall in the market. LOL The old lady seller asked me not to do that because I might drop her eggs.

AAh. This is the season i guess. I don't steal though. I understand the amount of effort and time it required to make them. So paying them is wise most of the time.

I was caught doing something not allowed quite often. I remember being spanked just once, the rest of the times (and I can't remember what naughty thing I did), i would be sent to my room and no TV ...
