When We were young and imature

[Hellion]

:devil I remember a long time ago when we spent Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house; I decided to walk over to the peoples house across the street, and remove the lightbulbs from the strings of lights and smash them out in the road. The funniest part was when you removed a bulb the rest of them would go out. Needless to say the neighbor found out and when no one was around broke off the outside light from the house by the garage door. yaeh; my grandma was'nt too happy about that. Another stupid thing we did where I used to live; was build a snow wall across the dirt road with one of those snowblock makers. There was not much left of it the next day when we checked it out. Ahh the memories,

I had a ghetto freind who grew up in Pontiac who could break into any lock

we ate food from every neighbors fridge and none of them ever found out.

It was like being goldie locks

Hmm... feels like confession time.

I'm a big-time animal lover and respecter, right?

When I was probably 4 years old, my sister bought me two goldfish. I used to grab them out of the water and poke their eyes with dull pencils. She'd catch me and put them back in the water, seemingly none the worse for the experience.

I don't know why. I think I couldn't grasp their own ability to feel.

I look back at that and shudder.

Oh yeah. There was the time when I was a little older that I "punished" a kitten who was biting & scratching by putting it inside the washing machine and just pulling the on button for a nanosecond, just long enough for a quick burst of water to spray out. Kitten was REAL happy to see me when I opened the lid and let it out. It wasn't hurt, but it was terrified out of it's mind.

I don't know what I was thinking. I think about that and I want to vomit. I'd kill anyone who did such a thing to any of my cats.

What in god's name goes through our brains when we're kids? Where the hell does such behavior come from? Why do some of us grow up to be respectful, conscientious adults and some of us end up Jeffry Dahmer?

I swear I think sometimes kids have shorts in their nero circuits.

Mine were just ditzy heh not mean. Except to each other, which is strange. For twins.

When I was about 9 years old I ate candy at Kroger without paying for it. I was in the aisle and it looked good so I ate it. Well a clerk saw me and questioned me, I denied it....she was sort of far away.....so I said I just smelled the candy but didn't eat it.

Then I told my mom (she was in the next aisle) that a Kroger employee falsely accused me of stealing and my Mom berated the clerk and talked to her manager as well. The manager said he would take discipline the employee.

Yeah, that probably wasn't very cool of me.

When I was 12 I helped to of my friends steal candy at perry drugs (now rite aid) by distracting the guy at the counter.

[Homicidalheathen]

Sorry, I am ghetto kool. I survived on what I could beg, borrow or steal for awhile and hate commerce so I didn't think it was bad to steal a few grapes and/or candy ect.

I never got caught.

My kids are now street and book smart the perfect combo.

I told them if your ever hungry just go in produce and the candy isle and snatch a few........pizza hut doesn't pay much.

I hope they are rich bitches either way but just in case..........if I die........my genes will live on.

How goth is that?

I'm confused about the "were" portion of the title......

[Adriel1]

dumbest I've done is when I was 18 and bought Few pounds of gun pounder and made a bomb out of it. My friend and I took the bomb we made to a ally with a emtpy dumpster and stet it off. It blew the dumpster apart. Now as i look back I could have killed myself or someone.

I can see that too....

I forget what it is, but there is some chemical that we have a lot more of when we are younger and it makes us do dumb things. We lose it as we get older there for we think before we act more then when we were kids.

my friend's car was an 1980 something Baretta... someone had put one some form of spoiler on the front of the roof, where it didnt belong, or even look good... but he had bolted it through the top of the car... i foundout that i could lock my right foot under it, and remain fairly stable no matter the speed of the car (as long as there were no fast turns.)

this lead to a game we called "Car Surfing" which was me on the top of my friend's car, going 90 down the highway.

there is no reason i should be alive today.

[Morbid Side]

Looking back as the funniest thing I've ever done is when I was 3 years old living with my grandma. One night while the family was in the dining room talking amongsts themselves I took the liberty to dash over to my Grandma's cupboards and grab the biggest f'n chocolate syrup bottle I could find and proceeded to rub it all over my skin and body to be like my former idol Michael Jackson. :fear

Yeah. I was that obsessed with MJ I went to great lengths to try to be like him. However, I never did get the whole moonwalk thing down.

Ugggh. Glad someone's amused. I'm ashamed. Even today.

I just don't know what was going through my head. And I hate to think that was the same person who today ended up with 14 cats because I can't trust anyone else to take as good care of them as I do.

I really don't think I'll ever forgive myself that. It bothers me that bad.

I remember when we were 10, my best friend and I thought it would be funny to shake up glass bottles (remember when pop came in glass?) of coke with these stopper thingies ontop. Well, needless to say, the stoppers blew off, and there was pop all over the ceiling. We ran out of the house and my mom was running down the street after us screaming at the top of her lungs.

This other time, when we were 8 or 9 my friend and I took all my mom's liquor bottles and dumped the booze down the drain, then filled the bottles back up with water. We dumped 5 or 6 almost full bottles.

When I was 7, right after my mom and step-dad got married, I thought it would be funny to leave my step-dad a "present," so I grabbed some paper towel and took some cat poo from the litterbox and put it on his pillow. I got in trouble because there was litter stuck to the poo, so he knew the cat didn't take a dump on his pillow. Of course now I feel bad that I was trying to get the cat into trouble, but I was a dumb kid.

I smashed my mom's car into the garage when I was 12 when I was trying to take it for a ride and put it in drive instead of reverse. I tried to tell her she did it when she was drunk (she was an alcoholic, so it was possible), but I left evidence behind (my gameboy :doh )
