" I watch someone on video juggling knives and mean I could do the same . "
We all do some incredibly stupid things when we’re young. Looking back, we must have been a nightmare to look after, but it’s all quite funny to think about now.
Well, because sharing is caring, people have been talking about the silliest things they did as a kid, and here are 21 of the best:
1.“When I was five or six I decided I’d have enough of my Action-Man poster. I decided it would be a good idea to set fire to it.”
2.“I saw someone on TV juggling knives and thought I could do the same.”
3.“A young friend of our family was around five and was annoyed by a loose string hanging from the bottom of the couch.”
4.“My parents were getting ready to paint my room when I was a kid, so they let me try a bit of painting (handprints, doodles, etc.).”
5.“Once I wanted to see what would happen if I poured wax from a lit candle onto my mother’s computer for whatever reason, so I did it.”
6.“I once ate an entire bottle of teething tablets for fun and my mother had to call poison control.”
7.“I convinced my 10 yearr old self it’d be fun to get some poison ivy.”
8.“Once at 12, I decided to scare my little sister and pretend to cut off my leg with the flat edge of the saw.”
9.“My brother used to try to emulateJackassand broke several things in the house.”
10.“In middle school I had gone to Home Depot with my parents and grabbed one of those tabs you put in your toilet to see if you have a leak.”
11.“I made gunpowder from a recipe I found in an encyclopedia.”
12.“When I was four-ish I made an open/closed sign for our big front window and would change it over in the morning and at bedtime.”
13.“I was around 11 and my mum had gone to work, leaving our older sister to babysit my twin and me.”
14.“I was really into pea shooters when I was about four.”
15.“I was a very nerdy and theatrical kid who was obsessed with history.”
16.“I was playfully arguing with my dad in the kitchen. For some reason, I decided it would be funny to spray his glasses with lens cleaner while they were on his face so he couldn’t see…”
17.“When I was four and my little sister was two I locked my mom out of the house.”
18.“Me and my cousin wanted to make french toast but we’d never seen it made.”
19.“I went through a phase of tearing off single pieces of toilet paper, making different coloured dots on them with felt-tip pens, and giving them to family members as gifts.”
