Kids can find some incredibly random things to do! Which, when you think about it, isn't such a bad thing. Experience is the greatest teacher of all, and getting yourself into sticky situations when young can give you a lesson in life that you will never forget. As long as your death wish lets you make it through to adulthood in one piece of course!

Twitter user @MotherOfDoggons asked people to share some of the stupid things they did as kids, and some of the real stories will make you wonder how these funny kids managed to survive this far. From starting fires and stabbing themselves for attention, to eating grass to prove that they are part horse, let's just hope that these crazy kids have learned from their hilariously stupid experiences. And if not then hey, at least they have funny things to tell. Scroll down below to check out the funniest tweets selected by Bored Panda, and share your own stories in the comments!

Of course that's dumb. You should've used the Johnson's Baby Shampoo one.

Hahaha, I always got Play Dooh for Saint Nicolas at my school. My mother dreaded that time of year. Because for some (creative) reason I always smeared the stuff in the living room carpet. As I also loved to make drawings on the bottom of the plate that was our salon table, instead of using the blackboard. I probably found drawing while laying on the floor more relaxing. And drawing gnomes on (again) the carpet in our living room was also my speciality ( in all shades of pink & purple).

My sister had the habit of breaking the legs on all of my dolls so, as a revenge, I used a permanent marker to make tattoos on all her dolls. Years later when she was like 15-16 years old and had a boyfriend, and I was maybe 9 or 10 and angry at her for some reason, I took a needle and poked holes in a bunch of condoms I found in her room. She saw the holes (fortunately before using them) and hit me several times in the head with a dinner plate til it broke. I don't remember what she had done to me to make me seek that revenge...

You might have gotten away with it if you had only poked one hole per condom. Though a better revenge would be to go to your parents and say "Guess what I found in Sister's room!"

My brother used to do magic tricks by making beads and random stuff "disappear" up his nose. He was too young to tell anyone that he hadn't been able to retrieve one of the beads he had made disappear. Three weeks later he woke up on a Sunday morning unable to walk, seems to have become paralyzed overnight. It was a holiday weekend so my dad took him to hospital, 16 hours in hospital and they had no answers. Dad brought him home, mom & dad are devastated, because the hospital said without determining a cause, it could be permanent. Tuesday morning, call the pediatrician, take him right in before the office opens, first thing the doctor did was check his ears, then shined a light up his nose, called the nurse in and had my dad and the nurse hold him down while he removed the lost bead from his nose. The bead had caused an inner ear infection that left him with no sense of balance, so he couldn't walk, antibiotics for a week and he was back to walking, like nothing ever happened.

My nephew would stick rocks in his ears. He had to have them surgically removed twice. We would call him the rock monster, he hated it.

How did they allow this clearly dangerous child to be anywhere near a staple gun is the real question here

I would like to know if you have piercings and tattoos as an adult, or if you got enough from that time. =) It seems that you wanted it really bad, though, and I kind of hope you do have both! =)

Well, to be fair, the whole "you have to wear clothing to preschool" rule is pretty dumb....

Why do children have such a strong death wish? Is there any other animal out there who has to constantly save its young from killing themselves?

I went through a short phase where I was pretty sure I could fly if I just tried hard enough. I gave it up pretty quickly when none of my flying experiments worked.
