Crazy Things You Did When You Were Younger

[remyandhollandsmommy]

Since others are admitting to drinking mishaps, I will too. When I was 16 I went to a party and got totally wasted. To prevent me from falling into the bonfire we had going, my friends locked me in my boyfriend's jeep. I decided to roll down the window and attempt escape. I squeezed out and fell to the ground (this jeep was HIGH off the ground;the tires were 32s I think) where I rolled under the jeep. I passed out under the jeep, but luckily they found me before anyone drove off. On the way home that same night, we stopped at McDonalds to pick up a friend and when I went to use the restroom, I passed out again. Now that I am older it is embarrassing that my friends (who BTW were not that sober either) had to pick me up off the floor with my pants halfway down!

FYI...I don't drink now that I am legal because of drinking too much as a teen!

I have a friend who was so drunk that she leaned up against a boulder to go to the bathroom one late night and the boulder was loose and sent her rolling down the mountain with her pants down. She was okay, with a thousand different bruises and scratches.

One of my drunk moments (I hope my mom isn't reading this!!) is that I thought I was peeing in an alley and thinking I was hiding behind a dumpster when I was really in the middle of a parking garage. Finally realized it when a car flashed his brights at me. DUH!! I will never get that drunk again.

I have two really stupid ones from when I was a child.

We were visiting my cousins and they had one of those old fashioned outside cellar doors on a diagonal slant that was made out of wood. I was about three years old and my male cousin of the same age (who was wearing heavyweight denim jeans, BTW) challenged me to slide down the cellar doors. I had on a little frilly dress and lacy underwear. Well, I accepted the challenge, slid down the doors and got about 500 splinters in my butt
They had to take me to the ER and have four people hold me down on the table screaming to try to get them out! My mom says my butt looked like a poppy seed bun! It is one of my earliest vivid memories.

Then when I was about nine, I was over at a girlfriend's house and we were sitting in her kitchen and she dared me to eat a pound of butter. I don't know what I was thinking but I sat there and ate the whole pound, no bread, no crackers just the butter
About an hour later, her mom came in to get dinner ready and went looking for the butter. Oops, all gone

The things we do when we're kids.

I didn't do much crazy, even during spring breaks, but my DH.... well let me put it this way, after hearing about his childhood with 4 brothers and a sister, I told him if we had two boys, we weren't trying again for a girl, cause I wasn't raising 3 boys with his genes!!

Probably the worst thing they did was build ****y traps for the kids behind them. They put bricks up in the forks of trees, then rigged a way for them to fall on the other kids. While they were "testing" it, they knocked one onto the oldest boy's head. It hit an artery, and he spurted blood the entire way back to the house! Thank God MIL is a nurse!

The youngest one locked himself and his best friend in the trunk of the car while playing hide and seek. In 90 degree weather. They nearly died before someone heard them pounding to get out.

Our house was set up so pur parents bedroom was on the first floor and all us kids (4) were upstairs. We had a chimney and our grandfather was very cautious about what we would do if there was a fire. They installed a saftey ladder out the window of mine and my sis's bedroom when we were about 13yo. Well when 16 came around for me, the ladder was a free pass to go out after hours. Friends would pick me up down the street and for a while I was never caught. One night, I was sneaking up the ladder and looked up to see mom. She freaked out and asked what I was doing. I told her I had heard the smoke detector , got dressed and was following the evacuation plan! She started screaming, got everyone up and out the windows, called the FD from the car and made us all wait outside till they came. Before they cleared us to go in, the neighbor, mad at the noise, came over and totally busted me. I was grounded for a month!

These are ALL fun to read but your story made me spit Diet Coke on my keyboard. I can't believe you thought to tell her that you heard the smoke alarm. I can imagine what your heart rate was when she called the f/d!

Way, way, way too much! I was a cliff jumper, too - too many feet in the air into too few feet in the water! Skinny-dipping, racing on the highway, being so drunk that I handed my keys to someone who wasn't sober either... My guardian angel was working overtime from a good portion of my life.

Lol, you and I probably would have gotten along really well back then.

I had an episode in the desert where I swallowed a handful of magic mushrooms and washed it down with a bottle of tequila. It really is amazing that a lot of us survived our youth!
