Our family visited a ghost town in the mountains in Australia. There were a lot of old mines there. An old railway connecting 2 mountains - crossing a ravine. It had a hand car on it so I started pumping the thing trying to cross to the other side. What I did not realise was that halfway across, the railway had collapsed into the ravine... My parents were shouting to me to stop which (surprisingly) I did and I then came back over the same track. My parents were white as a sheet....(and too shocked to wallop me a good one).

We would have roast beef for Sunday dinner. My slices of roast beef would have a hole in the middle of it, so I'd cut around that hole, because I assumed that's where 'the worm' was in the meat, and I didn't want to eat that part. I'd leave a little doughnut of meat on my plate every Sunday.
It took years for me to realize that's where the rotisserie spear went through the meat.
I was a dumb kid.

Growing up my small town had a store with blacked out windows. I asked my more worldly friend what kind of store it was and she said they sell “dirty underwear”.

Well I spent the next however many years thinking about this disgusting store that not only sold used underwear, but they didn’t even wash them first!

Fast forward to me being a teenager and a friend asked what that store was. I said, “Oh that store is super gross. They sell dirty underwear”. It hit me, dirty as in adult and not dirty as in unwashed.

I was about 5 and had done something that I knew was going to get me a spanking. I figured that if no one could get into my room, they couldn't spank me. So I slathered my bedroom door k**b with Vaseline and hid inside. My brilliant plan did not work.

Gahhhh! Vaseline! My toddler son found a nursery size jar and sat in the middle of the kitchen's tile floor to play in it. When I walked around the corner and saw the mound of giggling goo I ran to get it from him. One step. That's all. One step and I was flat on my back, sliding. Slid past him, through the kitchen, into the laundry room, and halfway up the wall. His giggles accompanied me.

When I was four we were roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. I was impatient so I stuck one on a plate in the microwave. It got massive, and I was like, omg, I've discovered not only how to make marshmallows cook faster, but they expand magically and it's gonna be amazing! Then I reached in and grabbed it with my bare hand.
That obviously didn't work out well for me.
But I started making marshmallows in the microwave after that and would just stick a fork in it and spin it until it was basically a marshmallow lolly. Though, I didn't try to work that method out until well after my burns had healed.

I was 6, and fascinated by the pilot light in our furnace... The basement was also my "playroom" and a friend and I were pretending to have an Olympic torch (twisted sheet of paper, lit on the end by that sweet, sweet pilot light). One of our torches got out of hand, and I panicked and threw it into the garbage... which was a cardboard box full of paper. I ran upstairs to ask my mom for a glass of water (no way was I telling her what we'd done LOL), but she handed me a little Dixie cup. I ran back downstairs to dump the few drops of water on the small fire, and ran back upstairs to ask for more, which of course alerted my mom that something was going on. Oof, what a grounding that was! The even dumber thing? It happened in the basement, which had a huge utility sink right next to the furnace LOL

Wanted to see if I could x-ray my arm using a traditional edison lightbulb. This was in the early 1980s. I was small. It kinda worked. It also burnt me. Undeterrred, I decided to see what happened if I melted crayons on it. That worked. I then thought well, let me wash the crayon off with a wet cloth. Result: boom. Bulb popped and threw glass everywhere. Lucky didn't hit my eyes.

When I was a little girl my brother's, and I played chase in an old cemetery. Now this cemetery was a really old one such that if you hit the grave just right the whole thing would collapse in. We thought it was funny when one fell in while we were running full speed across the place. I shake my head at this for several reasons not the least of which is the fact of how bad one of us kids could have got hurt pretty bad. This was in New Mexico, so the ground was really sandy. I think we kept our guardian angels pretty busy.

Until the age of 23, I truly believed rabbits only lived for a week or so. My Italian parents used to keep rabbits, which I foolishly believed were pets. One day I came home from school and noticed little Luigi (my favourite) was missing. My mom told me he died during the night of old age. Whilst I was shedding a tear or two into my delicious dinner I asked my mom what we were eating?
That’s luig…er I mean chicken she said. I miss Luigi.

When I was 3 my Mom was on the phone. I kept tugging her shirt until I got her attention, informed her I lost my teddy bear's eye. When asked where, I pointed to my ear. Dr visit to get it out. As Mom was waiting to pay I tugged on her shirt again. Told her I lost the other eye. Where? The other ear. Dr was nice enough not to charge for the 2nd extraction.

Age 4 Dad showed me a magic trick where he made a kleenex disappear. When I asked where it went, he said up his nose. You see where this is going. Dad was banned from showing me any more magic tricks after that.

When I was about 6 years old, I found out the hard way that riding in a little red wagon, tied to the back of a dirt bike, down a gravel road is not the smartest thing to do.

Worse yet, when the wagon hit a big rock and flipped over, I 'forgot' to let go and was dragged about 100 meters. Stripped all the skin off the inside of my right leg from the knee down to the foot. Still have the scars (faint).

Portion of our yard had native grasses, and I discovered that pulling up a handful would leave a nice dirt clod on the bottom. It reminded me of a bola, so I would hold the grassy stalks, give 'em a good swing or two, and launch them across the yard at prey. Usually my little brother. Sometimes I lit the grass afire.

One time when my family went camping in the mountain wilderness in Colorado, I realized that I didn't know where the bathroom was. My oldest sister, always a bit sarcastic, told me that I'd find it 'down three trees to the right' and I would see a roll of toilet paper bolted to a tree. I started hiking down the mountain into the woods, absolutely sure that I would see a bathroom materialize. It was a miracle that I found my way back to camp after wandering around for more than a half hour. I still hadn't gone to the bathroom!

We were well aware of the danger of the 3rd rail, and stayed will clear, and we knew the trains were running about 20 minutes apart, but still...

I was really dumb as a kid, but there was this one time when I was wondering if staplers worked on skin as well as it does on paper. Ended up stapling one of my finger. Pretty bad idea.

Another time, I was made to sit while my family was watching a movie. I just copied the actor and dived straight on to the floor from the bed (the actor in the movie actually jumped from a cliff or a building top maybe). Still have that scar on my forehead. *sigh*

I stapled my finger too, but not on purpose. I worked in a theater box office when I was 17. Between customers, we put together the decorations for new movies coming out. I got a customer and forgot I was holding an open stapler. I'm still kind of amazed that I kept a straight face while talking to the customer with a staple in my finger.

When I was in my early teens, my friends and I thought it would be fun to rollerskate down a very steep, ice-covered asphalt path. Of course, as soon as my skate connected with a bump in the ice, I flew off at pretty good speed and gave myself a compound leg fracture. The most traumatic part wasn't the hospital stay or months of therapy; it was watching the paramedics cut off the first jeans I ever bought with my own money. Funny what we remember as adults.

My grandmother had an electric heater in her living room that was a bar that turned bright orange when it heated up. The bar was behind a front metal grille to prevent you touching it, but the struts on the grille were widely separated. I was always shouted out if I went too near. One day, aged 4, I found myself in the room with no one there, so I switched the switch and the bar turned the prettiest bright orange colour, and I reached in to touch it...

Several weeks in hospital getting skin grafts, and years of physical exercises to ensure my skin grafted fingers didn't contract and seize up, and now I have no finger prints on that hand (and hairy skin on my palm and fingers because it's grafted from my leg). I was very stupid as a child.

I once ate an entire container of tums. Somehow I had no problems. I was 5 and thought it was candy.

I now have to take tums due to a recent surgery, and I hate them. I remember this.

Also, I am very anxious about going to people I don't know's houses, and as a little demigirl, I'd run away from the building and on the road and sidewalks for about a block before I had to be picked up and forcibly taken to the place, and I would scream and cry. In case you're wondering, I did this to other family members, too.

I also used to eat random flowers, and somehow I didn't get a poisonous one in my mouth. That, and I ate random things and drank markers. I honestly have no clue how I'm still not dead.

If it's any consolation, I was wide awake when I managed to slam storm door on my fingers. Yesterday. As a grown dang adult.

I used to chew on trees, and eat random things I found in my yard. I'm lucky I never got sick.

Many trees and bushes are edible in survival situations, so you were (mostly) safe. Mushrooms? Not so much. My granddaughter's school chum had a BBQ at a KC park last year. Found "mushrooms" growing by their picnic spot and threw them on the grill with their hamburgers. This woman is pushing 30, with two kids. Entire family went to ER with poisoning.

I wanted just the opposite... there were places to go, wonders to see, forts to build, adventures to experience, pranks to pull, mischief to create, fires to bring into existence...

I walked out of the kitchen with a plate full of Pasta when I was 3. Ended up tripping over a bag in the hallway. The plate broke and I cut open my hand.

Let's see. I overdosed on flintstone vitamins and had to spend 3 days in the hospital getting my stomach pumped. Flipside, is that I'll probably never suffer from anemia because the iron in my blood is still on the high side.

And I also split my head open falling on a book case I had tipped over trying to use it to reach for the light switch without leaving my bunk bed.

Whoa! You're lucky to escape that OD without lasting damage. If I recall, high iron can accelerate cholesterol's damage to your heart so monitor it as you age. You can also donate blood to help yourself while helping others. Also: dang bunk beds get us all at some point lol Make great forts tho.

My best friend and I got a big rope and went out to a Christmas tree farm. I climbed to the top of one of the trees, tied the rope to the top and then threw the rope down. My friend then pulled the top of the tree down as far as she could, I wrapped my arms and legs around the trunk and she let go of the rope. We spent the afternoon doing this, really funny and really dumb, lol.

I (4 or 5?years old) asked my mom what the things on the ceiling in a department store was for(fire protection sprinkler heads).
She told me they "put out fire" and I promptly lost my mind and insisted that we leave the store. I would freak out anytime I saw sprinklers until I learned what "putting out fire" meant. Not that it literally outputted fire but that they quenched fires.
It was a confusing few years and I was never the kid who wanted to be a fireman.
I've gotten slightly better since...

One Happy Doggo

POST

During Primary school, my friends had abandoned me and i was running around the cement quadrangle, and i thought to myself, "Why can't i jump over that bench like those cool people do in movies? " I decided to trry and see if it was possible. Took a running leap, my foot caught on the edge, and i went tumbling over, did a fuul roll, hitting my head onn the concrete and coming to a stop at the bench, also hitting myself on the edge of the bench. I was dizzy and sick and wanted to go home, but my horrible grade 4 teacher, Lee-Ann Smith (I see you) saw what had happened. Didn't come over to check, just stoof there. I asked her if i could go home, and stood up and began to walk awkwardly toward her but he said "no, stupid. It's your fault, deal with it." I began to cry and sat underneath a table, while my friends came over and asked if i was okay. She wouldn't even send me to the sick bay, let alone give me a note to go home. When i got home, my mum asked me what happened, and ofc i lied.

my brother and i would ride our bikes around our street with some neighbor kids and we somehow thought that holding our hand on a streetlight would make us go way faster. give us its energy or something. well, i ended up going way too fast and i couldn’t stop, and ended up hitting a curb and falling over my handle bars, landing in one of the only yards that was grass and not rocks

It was just a one story house so it wasn't that high, at least that's what we thought when we were young. I wouldn't even think of trying that now.

I was probably 4 or 5 and would replace the sugar in the sugar bowl with salt. Happened several times even though I got in trouble for it. I still have no idea why, but I must have thought it was a pretty funny prank at the time.

It was a small thing. When I was around 7 or 8, I was playing trivial pursuit with my family. All adults. Being a kid, I wasn't doing well in the game, I was basically just sitting there bored as hell. Well, there was a question, something like 'what's the only English word that ends with an I'. I immediately perked up and shouted 'Deni!' My family told me that I got the answer right. Of course, that wasn't right, since it ends with a y. I was so proud of myself too haha

I was in second grade. My mom, dad, and I lived on a farm. The owner hired my dad to take care of this farm and in return we didn’t have to pay rent. It didn’t work out but that’s another story for another time. While we lived there I would go outside and play. I would walk around the lake. I had this whole property to myself for the most part. I can remember going outside to play and sneaking under the barbed wire fencing and going into the pastures to pet the cows. I would also sneak into the barn and pet and talk to the bull. I was 7. 7!!!! Just walking up to the hill like it was no big deal. And petting cows like they were puppies. I guess I’ve always loved animals.
