When you were a kid

mydixiewrecked · May 2013

what are some of the weird/naughty things you did? I remember when I was about 6 I wanted spagetti-o's for lunch and we didn't have any. I threw a fit,and my Mom made me go take a nap. She also went to nap, when she fell asleep I gathered some change and snuck out. I walked to the corner store a few blocks away and bought some. I got my butt spanked that day.

my BFF and I once ate an entire container of Tootsie Rolls (you know, the big ones that you can reuse as a bank?) and then we stuffed all the wrappers back in the container b/c we thought nobody would notice that way...obviously we were wrong..
Also, my sister had this hook and loop type lock on the top of her bedroom door b/c it used to be my dad's model room before she was born...one day, we (same BFF and I) climbed a chair and locked my sister in her room...we got good and whooped for that one, and they took the lock off so we couldn't do it again.

Oh I could write a novel! Um let's see... Well when I was 4 almost 5, I didn't want to clean, so I hid in a box. I fell asleep and my mom and stepdad couldn't find me. Well it ended up being this huge ordeal. My mom thought my dad kidnapped me, she's prone to overrating, and a massive search ensued. Helicopters, dogs, police forces from neighboring counties.... I woke up crying and my neighbor heard me. I remember my mom hugging me with her huge belly, she was pregnant with my twin sisters.

Another thing was when I was a teenager. I was into some bad stuff for a while and ran away. It was winter and after an hour I was cold so I went to a local business and knocked, it was like midnight, the janitor let me in and gave me hot chocolate. He called my mom and when we were driving home she knocked my cocoa out of my hands. I was mad about that. I'm sure she was more than me, but at the time I was a dumb teen and didn't care.

When I was 5 or 6 I was grocery shopping w/my mother and I wanted a pack of gum, my mother told me no. While we were standing in line I took a pack, when we got home she saw me chewing a piece. She asked me where i got it and I told her from the store. She was sooo angry. She took me back down to the store had me stand in line and tell the cashier that I took it and that I was sorry.

Hmm?when I was 7 I wanted to watch kindergarten cop but it came on TV too late so my mom said she would record it. Well I snuck out of my room and watched it on the TV in her room and while watching for some reason decided that I wanted to make my parent?s closet smell good with incense. I ended up setting the apartment on fire, crawled back in to bed and waited for my mother who was in the living room to notice and come get me. I burned the apartment through to the downstairs neighbors, who were off on vacation. I remember my dad being so mad that I stayed at a friend?s house for a few days until he cooled off.

Yea?I?m not looking forward to what mishaps my mini-me will be getting in to, lol.

Well my dad left me in the car when it was running and went into the store. Needless to say I took off in the car and drove down the street, stop when I hit the curb so i must not have been going that fast! Thank god! I think I was either 4 or 5.

Have you seen the video to the little kid who stole his parent's car and took it on a cop car chase?

Hmmm, let's see...I was 2 when I did all this:

One day my mom told me not to touch the stove as it was very hot. I gave her a naughty look and proceeded to put my whole palm down on the burner. Burned my hand really good.

I climbed out my second story window onto the roof. I then walked down the roof to the condo next door and into their window to see their little boy who was also my age. My mom couldn't find me and was freaking out when the neighbor found me.

Or there was the time that I climbed the 6' brick wall in the back yard and walked 4 or 5 blocks down the road. My mom of course freaked out because she turned around and I wasn't in the backyard anymore. She was searching the neighborhood and saw an old man. He asked if she was looking for a little girl and that he had been watching me play in a puddle.

I am so glad DD1 is not a climber! My poor mom. I scared her to death several times.

I was probably like 5 or 6 and was playing across the street with a boy my age. I didn't want to go home when my parents called for me so the boy and I hid in his parents' car. They had the cops searching the neighborhood while we sat in the car and laughed before we came out.

Around the same time, I decided I wanted to go swimming but we didn't have a pool. So I took the hose and filled up one of our empty trash cans and climbed in.

I was a little hellion and I know I already see it in DS.

One time, my parents were going somewhere (funeral maybe?) and they were going to drop me off at my cousin's to play on the way. I had told my mom that she needed to bring my cabbage patch doll (that went EVERYWHERE with me, except school) and what I wanted her to hear. She brought her, but forgot the outfit change and I lost it. Like hysterically crying until they turned around and said forget it. My dad put me in my room and sat in front of the door so that I couldn't get out to go play for a good portion of the evening. I was probably 4.

I often tried to "lose" my kid brother. Once, at Meijers (sort of like Walmart), I was pretty sure that I had lost him for good, until he found a person that works there and had them page my parents. I was maybe 6 then.

I wasn't terrible as a teenager, but for whatever reason, I did NOT want braces. It became a battle of wills between me and my parents, especially my mom. She would often say things like, "you don't be pretty if you don't get your teeth fixed" or "you want to meet a guy and get married someday, right?" Pretty much made me feel like crap about myself for most of my teen years. I ended up having my teeth fixed when I was like 30 instead.

I was probably like three and had a pet hamster. I knew I wasn't supposed to play with it if my parents weren't there with me. One day my mom got up and left the room for a minute and I stuck my hand in the cage. I heard her coming back and started to take my hand out of the cage, but it got stuck, I shook my hand to free it knocking over the cage. Poor little hamster didn't make it.

My dad buried it in the back yard and I ran around telling the neighbors that my dad killed my hamster with a shovel.

I still feel bad about killing my hamster

You were little so don't feel too bad. I was 3 and took my goldfish out of his bowl to watch cartoons with me on my pillow. That was his last cartoon. Crying

When I was 4 or 5, my friend was in my older sisters room, with my sister's friend plus sister ... I had probably been bugging them and they probably had given refuge to my friend .... I went into the back yard (where I could see in the window), and because my friend was making faces at me, opening and closing it, I got the bright idea to get the garden hose and spray her through the window. Well, she didn't close it in time and my sister's new turn table slash stero got wet and "ruined". I wasn't allowed to have a friend over for a while after that and my sister still will comment about how I ruined her stero (which was still working when I took it over as a teenager).

Oh, for weird, I loved the taste the early stages of cookie dough, took lots of "eewws" to realize the gigantic tub of Crisco shortening did NOT taste the same as butter plus brown sugar.

Used to "camp" under the dining room table, would make syrup sandwiches as the food (was inspired by Paddington Bear's marmelade sandwiches).

I fell in the baptistry at a church when I was 7. And when I was 5 I told a little girl who I didn't want to share my doll with that my mom said I wasn't allowed to play with her. She cried and told on me. Also when I was 5, my friend and I were playing with golf clubs in her house while being babysat by her teenage brother who didn't give a flip what we were doing. She accidentally hit me in the eye and blood got everywhere. There were no cell phones and her brother was just like uhhh idk, wait till mom gets home, so I bled for half an hour before our parents got back. I still have a scar on my eye from that.

I totally could have written this! I did the same thing. Standing in line, about 4 or 5. Wanted the gum, mom said no and I remember sticking it in the little holes of the grocery cart but she says I stuck it in my overalls front pocket. Either way, when we got to the car I said "oh look what fell in!" Yeah...she made me take it back in. I cried for a long time lol
