That reminds me...

When I was maybe 6 or 7, my sister (one year older than me) and I were outside, playing with whatever toys we had. She came over and took one of the toys I had, and wouldn't give it back. I said something to the effect of "you better give it back, or I'm gonna go get dad's hammer". She still wouldn't budge, so I went in the garage and grabbed my dad's hammer out of his toolbox. I returned to my sister, still playing with whatever had started this fiasco. I told her "I'm gonna hit you with this if you don't give me it back". She didn't, and I smacked her square on the head with the hammer. She screamed at the top of her lungs, and of course my parents came running over. They took her to the ER (3 or 4 stitches), and I got a good spanking for that one.

When I was in eighth grade, we had a science project to demonstrate our knowledge of circuits by building a structure and lighting it with old 1.5V Christmas lights and D batteries. The lights had been stripped and cut to have an inch or so of wire sticking out.

I went to the bathroom, and when I came back a couple of my friends told me they discovered something really cool. They wouldn't tell me what it was, but instructed me to put the ends of a light bulb into a socket. We had a substitute that day, so I decided to do it. On contact with the outlet, the filament inside the light bulb explodes. It was so cool that I decided to do it again. Then this b tchy girl threatened to tell our teacher when she came back, so I stopped. When the teacher did come back the next week, she noticed that a whole string of outlets didn't work. I had to pay the school $66, and endure a lecture from the principle about how I could have killed myself. I can't say it wasn't worth it though.

Spilled boiling hot tea on my left thigh. The large second-degree burn is just in the final stages of healing, three weeks later.

I've done more stupid things, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

These are hilarious! Sounds like some of the things I have done in my past. Now, I'm only 19, but I think I have a few for ya:

Ok so when I was 13 years old I had an obsession with fire, like most people here seemed to have. So me and a couple of buddies are bored one day and come up with a great idea of lighting golf balls on fire and shooting them in an open field. We were all on the high school golf team at the time. So we take a thing of gasoline and a couple packs of golf balls, load it into our backpacks with some clubs, and ride our bikes to this huge field behind a church in our neighborhood. We lit about 5 of them and all thought it was funny until the cop car pulled up in the church's parking lot. He gave us warnings and watched us ride our bikes home so he could talk to our parents. The cop was actually really nice, and said he used to do this stuff when he was a kid, but its a different age we live in and all that jazz today.

Here is another one that happened recently. I am from Milwaukee, and the Chicago Metra train comes up to Kenosha. So last summer me and about 12 others (we had my car and a friends car packed) decide to go down to Chicago for a day, and take the train from Kenosha. Well we were in a real hurry, because 2 people were late. When we get to the train station, we literally had 3 minutes to get on the train and park our cars. Not caring about parking signs we parked in some random lot, get out and RUN our asses off for the train. Right as we got on the doors close. So when we come back from Chicago, we get out and look for our cars. They are gone! We flag down a cop (the police station is right next to the station) and get the numbers for local towing companies. Well the cop we got was really nice, and drove me and my friend to the towing company that towed our cars. That was a nice $240 dollar lesson. On top of that, once our cars were taken out of impound, there was a nice $20 parking ticket sitting on our windshields. What a day. At least everyone decided to chip in for the towing and parking tickets, so it didn't come out to much money for us. Then when we got home, we all went to my house and my mom had made cookies and cake for all of us, so it wasn't all a loss

Sorry for the long stories... they are good beleive me!

It was my second to last period class

I moved a big cabinet and I was hiding behind it

Kids in the class said "over there your valentines present"

she does not believe them

then she goes whats that noise

she comes around and I jump out "Boo"

Her face turned into fear

she said some things to me

I moved back the cabinet

called her for some help she ignored me completely

I think she is still mad at me about that.

Never got In trouble

I was 16, and some friends and I decided it would be funny to drive around in my car hitting empty trash cans that were still out by the curb. We must have hit 20 or so, before a vigilante neighbor boxed us in, reached in my window and took the keys. My 3 friends bailed, I was left to face the music. 3 police cruisers showed up...I guess they had gotten a number of calls, heh. and then, to make matters worse, my mom drove right by us on her way back from work. She was NOT pleased once the cops told her what was going on. I ended up inexplicably getting off scot-free - well, legally anyway. No CS, no fine, nothing. Although, my parents took away my driving privileges for a LONG time except to / from school.

Oh, and "Roman Candle Fight" is not as cool as it sounds...

Went to class, left my keys in my car with my car running. Hiked a few miles back to my dorm room in the snow, luckily it was just flurries, but it was cold. Waited for a roommate to let me in, got my spare set of keys. Hiked back to my car. For some reason known only to the young and stupid, I had decided that the best way to handle my key needs was to have 3 separate keychains. I only had 2 sets of car keys though; the one on keyring #1 in my car, and the one on keyring #3 back in my dorm room. I had walked all that way and gotten keyring #2, and had to make the trip a second time x_x
