re: Stupid things you did as a kid/adult

I was going through the cabinets at our house when I was about 11 and noticed all of my mother's cast iron skillets and pots felt greasy, so took them outside with a Brillo pad and some Comet and cleaned them. When I showed her my good deed, she shrieked and mumbled a few incoherent words and started to cry.

When I was about 14 my Dad asked me to back up our old Pontiac so he could hook-up our Ouachita bass boat for a fishing trip the next day. Well, I gave the car to much gas and immediately heard a bang. A few seconds later I heard a pounding noise coming from under the car, so I stopped and looked outside only to see my very, very, angry father crawling from underneath the car with a crushed cigar and his cap askew. Apparently I had run over him in my zeal to hook up the boat.
