When I was about 8 I was working with my dad in the yard on a hot summer day. We took a break and he gave me a few bucks to "go to the store to get a soda...and get me a beer while you're at it".

I rolled my bike over there and approached the register with a Bud tall-boy for Dad and a bottle of Coke for me. I didn't know you had to be 21 to buy beer. The cashier thought it was the funniest thing ever.
 
Our family went to to the supermarket a long time ago when my little brother was 2. He saw a little Cookie Monster lollie pop that he really liked. He put it in his pants and and walked away trying to whistle. When we were in the parking lot, we noticed he was acting a little strange and found the stem of the lollipop sticking out of his pants. We went back to the store and paid for it.

Blew a fuse in my junior high science classroom by putting in some staples.
 
I was amazed by fire on the stove when I was little and lit a piece of paper on fire. I found it too hot to hold so I dropped it in the trash can, causing the trash can to catch on fire which I calmly proceeded to fill my drinking cup over and over again to douse the fire.

when i was in a chemistry class. the teacher then lit up a fire and asked us what could dissolve the fire. classmate said water. he yelled, "WATER?!!" he then calmed down and poured some water. it blew the ceiling and it became black. it was so funny.
 
lol good entries!

just remembered another from later on in my life; my room used to be pretty cold in winter so I used to do the whole aerosol + lighter flamethrower thing to heat it up a bit. Then I became increasingly confident and started squirting lighter fluid through a syringe I stole from school. Needless to say I got over confident and just squirted a whole load of lit lighter fluid onto my carpet.

It's hard to explain foot-wide scorch marks on your carpet, it turns out.

Was painting the fence for my dad about 10 years old or so I guess. I decided writing "<insert my name> was here" in VERY BIG letters on the grass was brilliant. It encompassed about a 20 x 40 foot area.

Ran full speed into a closed sliding glass door. Luckily it didn't break. I bounced off.

Sometime later I did the same thing with a closed screen door. Went right through it. This was back in the day of metal screens.

I had hash marks on my face for weeks.

Okay. We have a new construction sunroom with a sliding glass and screen door, and brand new windows. All the screens are still metal. Who are the pansies with non-metal screens?
 
More stories!

I'm laughing, but a little scared at what my kids might do now that I see some of the stupid crap you guys have done.
 
tthrew a rose firework in a park trash bin that was full of grease from a grill grease trap. Didnt know this before hand. Huge purple flames 2 feet above the trash can. Minutes later, the police arrived. Me and my friends were long gone!
 
I used to run up the stares a fast as possible when I was about 5 back to my bedroom after using the bathroom and flushing. The toilet sounded like a monster.
 
My friends and myself would ask people if they wanted a car wash. Then, if they said no, we'd throw mud on their car, and ask again. Somebody didn't think it was funny and we had to stop 8(.

I used to sneak out of the playground at recess and go onto this street and let everyones dog out of their yard.

We lived in a house where the backyard opened up into the lower playground of the elementary school behind us. We had the biggest "backyard" on the block. 😀

One day decided to dare my little brother to strip down nekked and run 'round the perimeter of the lower playground. He got stopped halfway around by some guy on a motorcycle who asked what the hell he was doing. Then when he got close enough back toward the house I took my brother's clothes, ran in the house, and locked the door. Mom was not amused.

- We used to eat dirt (mudpies).
- Played frisbee in the street (CAAAAAR).
- Flipped off passing cars until some guy stopped his car and scared us into knocking it off.
- I have a scar on my leg from running with scissors.
- Got my stomach pumped from drinking a bottle of mom's perfume.
- Used to eat Mom's dietary aids (tasted like chocolate).
