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).

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?

Don't dogs do it to make themselves sick? Mine do anyway! Always know what to wait for if they've been chomping away at our lawn.

I had a friend who would eat grass and toilet paper and she tried to get me to do it too but I never saw the appeal

Most of my friends at school (elementary school especially) liked eating paper because “it prevents you from getting fat”. I didn’t see how but I never tasted it.

Eating a "ton" of anything is likely to make you throw up...

I was around 7 and was mad at my parents about something - no idea now what it was - and decided to protest them by eating grass b/c I knew they wouldn't like it. I don't think it worked, but I still laugh when I remember how I pulled that s**t. I mean, it was kind of genius in a way, because my mom is very freaked out by dirt.

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.

Parents shouldn't leave the fish tank "open" when there are little kids around
