re: Stupid things you did as a kid/adult

When my dad was teaching me to cut the grass with the riding mower I somehow thought it was a better idea to jump off than stay on when I got uncomfortable on the first pass. That was back before those kill switches under the seat...

Also, during one of my weekly cedar waxwing slayings with the red rider, I accidentally popped one of my neighbor's purple martins. He used to have several big bird houses and feeders out and those purple martins were his pride and joy when they would come around each year. Got my arse peeled for that one.

My list could be a thread in itself. I was a little shite of a kid.
