What's the funniest thing that you did as a child?

I was nice in kindergarten, I think though around the time I began to read Detective novels, I accused our neighbor of selling stolen property
for which I wish I could apologize lol

When I was around 4 I use to worry my mother to death because I'd take off all the time. Well, I always loved animals, so one day I decided to take a walk up the road a bit where I met this friendly dog, then along came another dog, and another until I was surrounded by about 10 dogs all licking me and friendly as could be. Suddenly I hear my mother calling me frantically, so I ran home where my mother spots me with a pack of dogs behind me. Poor mom.

When I was about five, a neighbor lady was sewing a dress for her granddaughter. Since I was about the same size, she asked me to try it on so she could mark the hem. I went home and told Mom the nice lady was making me new clothes!

I went out in the front yard in my night gown and flashed cars driving by. This was at the suggestion of my older siblings.

hahaha, the neighbor-mom yelled at me.

I was a horrible child, apparently....
I did so many horrid things, I didn't mean too, I was just so damn curious. I may have make several entries. Hope I don't bore ya'll, ha ha ha.

My parents had to put chicken wire over my crib at night and had encased the entire yard. Not because they were cruel but because nothing stopped me. By the time I was five, all the cops in the neighbourhood knew me. Most of them had found me wandering, sometimes up to miles away from home, at all hours of the day or night. I had relatives and friends everywhere. My first day of school, I didn't come home till 5:00. I had a battalion out searching for me. I wandered into the maelstorm and it took a couple of minutes before anyone realized I was there. he he

LOL Ceili. You just described me. Curious about everything and unstopable.

When I was about 7 and living on the Cape, my cousin and I (same age) use to run around outside with no tops on with all the boys. Our mothers use to yell at us to put our tops back on, but we had a good argument saying that it wasn't fair because we looked just the same as the boys did.

Buck and I were in first grade. He and I were the only irish kids in the class. He had just moved here and no one, save me, could understand a word he said. So we hung out.
Someone tossed a big box of magazines into the garbage. Buck and I rescued it and carried in to the little park and into the sandbox. He ran home and stole his mammies matches and we proceeded to build volcanos.
We scrunched up the magazine pages and built the sides out of sand. Then we started the paper on fire.
Half way through the book of matches, buck's mom found us. She dragged us, by our ears, to my home, then back to her house for the unending lecture.
She wasn't mad about the fire, so much, as the dirty magazines. Seemed we had found a pile of Playboys.
It was several years before I realized what "dirty" meant.

hahaha!

We used to pour rubbing alcohol on the cement basement floor and light it on fire. Cool nearly invisible flames.

Montana, I had my fair share of running around topless. But, I didn't have to do any convincing.

When I was in 8th grade I went with a friend and her mom to Boston. Her mom met a date at a bar and set us off on our own (lovely). We wanted to go to china town so we went into the subway system and headed out to Orient Hieghts (whoa!) jumped back on the train and got out of there fast. After we did find china town, we wanted to get back to Fanieul Hall, so we took got on the train going to Quincy (Quincy Market), turned around well before we got that far though. Oy.

Oh wait! This thread's about the FUNNIEST thing, not the STUPIDEST thing..... hmmmm.

When I was about ten, my father decided that I was too old for trick or treating on Halloween. Instead, it was my job to hand out candy at the door. So, I took a handful of Double Bubble gums, the block kind, hand drilled little holes in the middle, filled them with tabasco sauce and plugged them back up.
It was funny...then.

Yikes!

The funniest thing i remember doing as a child was running around in my wonder woman underwear and tank top.

Littlek, stupid things are usually funny too.

Back to kindergarten...
One day, I decided that I was going to escape. So I ran over to a little lawn upon which sat a large chain link fence. I started climbing and I was about halfway up when I heard a teacher yelling at me.
"Just what exactly do you think you are doing?"
"Leaving"
"Get down this instant"
"Umm, no"
"Don't make me come after you!"
"I won't"
And she did. She walked all the way up to the fence when we heard a hissing sound. To our suprise, the sprinklers decided to come on at that very moment. Not only was I completely soaked, but so was my teacher and the little fat kid that I had convinced to come with me.

While we were waiting inside for our new clothes (kindergartens are always prepared for anything!), I spotted our pet rat. It was sitting comfortably in a nice metal cage just in front of me. On the cage was a sign that said "DON'T PUT YOUR FINGERS IN THE CAGE". So, being naturally curious I escaped any punishment with a quick trip to the nurse.

Let's see. Where to begin. I was looking out the window, but I couldn't see far enough, so I stuck my head through the window guard. It got stuck. My mother was in the apartment, but she couldn't hear me yelling, so I had to yell to people in the street to tell my mother to come and rescue me. She put vaseline on my ears and slid me back out.

Up in the country I was playing in the sandbox with a little boy. I convinced him to taste one of my sand pies. He did and started crying. His mother came over; my mother came over. They both told me that I did a bad thing and not to do it again. As soon as they were gone, I convinced this kid that the reason he didn't like the pie was because it was vanilla. The tasty sand was deeper in the sandbox. I made a pie of the sand from deeper down, and the stoopid kid tasted it. Screams. And I was removed from the sandbox. LOL.

You haven't changed much, have ya? LOL!
