poll: when you were a kid
what things did you do to terrorize your community, teachers, parents, siblings, etc...? come on, I'm sure people have some funny stories.
i used to get in trouble when i was little for picking all the neighbors flowers. tulips were my favorite.
truth or dare at childhood slumber parties usually involved things we'd get in trouble for.
ding dong ditch anyone? this is so bad ... i had a bratty side, but i swear they made me do it! they double dog dared me.
Re: poll: when you were a kid
toilet papering of course. the best was the time we TP'd the crotchety old super intendent's house. and we'd steel for sale signs and drive way reflectors too.
seriously ... i lived in the country and there's not a lot to do. i'm sure my parents are greatful for the kind of trouble i found which was in retrospect preffy harmless. now college ... that's a different story all together.
This is fun!
When I was a kid, I used to argue with my teachers. The reason why this made me "bad" is because I would only argue with them when I knew they were *right.* The entire time I argued, I knew I was wrong... but I just wanted to be a smart asss and have some fun... and I enjoyed the fact that I had good debate skills and could argue a point that was not valid.
I used to come home from school and tell my mom horrendous stories about things that I never did. She would ask me what I did in school that day and my response would be something like "First, I yelled at the teacher and stormed out of the room because she threatened me at pencil point. I walked to the main intersection and hitch hiked with a creepy man who promised me candy. He took me to the mall and I ditched him by getting lost in a crowd. Then I went and saw a gory horror movie (my mom NEVER let me see those when I was a kid, understandably) at the theater and I ate a bunch of candy. After that, I went to the animal shelter and adopted a kitten who I've hid in your bathroom. I found another creepy stranger to give me a ride back to school and then you came to pick me up... and here we are."
That's one of the stories that I actually told my mother. She never believed me, of course, but she'd pretend just to humor me.
I was a sarcastic little shiit.
Oh man, I was a pretty lame little girl growing up. At least compared to you guys. I think the worst thing we'd do was either stick the underwear of the first person to fall asleep at a sleepovers underwear in the freezer OR put her hand in warm water.
In HS we TPed a few houses, but they were more like the "fun" teachers or the captain of the football team, captain of the basketball team, etc.
We would constantly "steal" things. I say "steal" because we would take something from one place and put it somewhere else, steal something from that place and put it else where. We had a whole points system and the more high risk place you took something from the more points (if you stole from the PD it was lots of points, some random guys yard less points).
I'm sure we did some other crazy crap I just can't remember. College = disaster zone! I was a maniac child.
