re: Stupid things you did as a kid/adult

When I was a kid, I took the 4-wheeler for a joy ride when my dad was taking a nap. I did not check the gas tank. I ran out of gas about two miles from the camp. This was before cell phones. I ended up walking back the 2 miles in my neoprene waders on a rather warm day for winter.
Best part was when I got back, my dad asked if i tried to switch to the reserve tank on the bike. That was how I learned the hard way about what a reserve tank was.

Story from when my old man was a kid.
The kids used to roll cigarettes for the adults at the camp using a roller-machine. They would just roll a dozen or so and throw them on the table for the adults playing cards.
The kids decided it would be funny to put ground up match-tips in a cigarette instead of tobacco. They rolled it and waited for the unlucky person to grab it. Said they burnt every piece of hair off of some guy's face

I leaned the old "it is negative to be black" when I was young to keep me from hooking the battery up wrong.

fire with a magnifying glass
As a kid wondered if I could light a firecracker with a magnifying glass while sitting in my room with just a small sliver of evening sun that was coming through the bedroom window. Yes, yes you can. Dad lit my arse up like a firecracker afterward

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.

I have ALOT and am surprised i made it this far still alive. Heres a milder one. We made little half barracades out of the traprock under the rt291 bridge about 50 yards apart and proceded to launch bottle rockets and m80`s at each other under the bridge, right up till an unmarked car drove right up on us as we were doing it. They took all our stuff and told us it sounded like a war under the bridge. lol. Only thing that happened was we lost out stuff. we were lucky... That was around 1978.

- backed my 4 wheeler off my truck without the ramps
- forgot to tie up the boat at the launch one time, had to wait for someone to drag it back for me
-couldn’t back my boat down the ramp the first time my dad let me take it. Finally had to get an adult to do it for me.
I’m sure I could think of more

When I was a kid we used to climb to the top of willow trees then cut me down so we could ride them to the ground. I can imagine my wife seeing my kids do it.
After riding down about 30 of em we were riding them down either into the lake or landing one the spike stump we had left behind.

Early 60's I was 6-8 years old. We lived right at the back parking lot of St Aloysius in BR. Our back fence was along the Southdowns elementary baseball field, side fence along the parking lot.
I was playing with firecrackers and sparklers and lit the entire backyard along the fence line and down the parking lot of St Aloysius on fire. It was really big.
Found out quickly that a garden hose doesn't work for that much blaze. 3 fire trucks later & a massive butt whipping ensued.
Didn't help that my Mom was parish secretary at St Aloysius, Monsignor Becnel was not happy.

Most of mine were duck hunting.
We up the beouf one morning when it was 8 degrees, 3 teenagers
We killed ducks but froze our asses and anything would have gone wrong we would have been in a bind

BB gun fights across a pond with a buddy. I hit him once in the hip and that was the end of that.

BB gun war with my brother.
He was better armed than I was.
I eased around a tree in time to take one right between the eyes.
I watched that bb all the way in.
Game over after that.

Oh yeah.
I made a bow and some arrows.
Was in our treehouse when the youngest brother came by.
I made a beautiful running shot into his right butt cheek.
The arrow stuck and wagged up and down as he ran to rat me out to Mama.
I got in big trouble because little pudge boy had to get a tetanus shot.

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.

Sounds like every duck hunt I've ever been on

When I was 11 I stole a six pack of Milwaukee Best beer from the old man’s camp fridge and went into the woods to drink it. Half hour later when I was putting 5 of them back the old man caught me and beat my arse.
He had a good laugh when I told him I wasn’t taking them, I was returning them because they tasted like shite.
