I climbed up one of those big tube slide things when I was like 6. When I fell off I thought that I had broke my back and died.

When I was around 9 my little sister was making me nuts( she was 4) so to make her cry I told her that her stuff bear was dead. We had a funeral where I stuffed the bear into my mother's desk and we picked flowers outside for it.

Also the girl next door lived with her grandparents and had aunts and uncles that was teenagers. She was talking about smoking grass and we could not come up with what the big deal was. So we took some grass clippings from the compost pile and tried to smoke it out of a popcan pipe she took from her Aunt. Burned the shit out of my windpipe. I was around 10.

I did something very similar when I was 12 except I was trying to kill fire ants. I got a few handfuls of black powder and put it on the ant hill and then used a lighter and WD40 to try and light it. I didn't get burns like you did but I lost all the hair on my face and lower arms.

Also, back when I was a little kid we invented a sort of proto-energy drink (energy drinks didn't exist back then). We would buy a 1L bottle of Mountain Dew, drink about an inch or 2 out of the bottle, and then dump a half pound of skittles into it. Then all you had to do was put it in the fridge and let the skittles dissolve. You knew it was done when a sugar film formed on top of the Dew. We each drank one of these nearly every weekend during the summer (our parents didn't know we did this). If I drank that crap today I'm pretty sure it would kill me instantly.

Well now I know what I'm doing this weekend.


Me and my sister used to pretend I was Darth Vader and she was my apprentice. I force choked a My Little Pony.
 
I used to jump off the deck or the shed or the garage with umbrellas of various sizes and sheets and stuff as homemade parachutes just to see if it would work. It never did. My parents never tried to stop me either, even though they must have realized the inherent danger of letting me impact the ground over and over like a retarded meteorite. No idea how I'm not dead. I never even broke a bone.
 
something i do and still do is whenever i'm on a swingset alone at a park i end up singing. i don't care
 
When I went on vacation to Disney World one year, I brought along this little stuffed panda that I was really attached to at the time. The silly part is that I also brought all these accessories for it, like a miniature doll toilet, and actually remember putting it next to the hotel room's toilet.
 
When I was 4 the oringinal Star Wars trilogy was replaying in movie theaters. My Dad loved Star Wars and was thrilled beyond belief that his four year old could experience it in theaters the way it should be watched. To help prepare little four year old me for what could potentially be a confusing and frustrating experience, my Dad brought me two Star Wars coloring books and a sticker set to introduce me to the settings and characters so I would understand what was happening on the screen. So by the time we actually went to see the movie, I already knew most of the characters names and was beyond excited to finally go see them. I had decided in advance that Leia, the only female lead, would be my favorite.

I think I followed the plot of the movie pretty well for a preschooler. That is, until the scene where Leia gets kidnapped by Jabba the hut rolled around. I hadn't yet grasped the concept that things could happen, "off screen" in movies so I was very confused when Leia had suddenly disappeared and changed her clothes. Now, Disney had taught me that all princesses MUST stay in their assigned outfit for the entire duration of the movie. Exceptions could be made for characters like Cinderella who receives an on-screen costume change, but other than that, princesses do not change their clothes. And I just didn't understand why she had too be so exposed. How embarrassing for my poor princess Leia!

I was so upset by this that I screamed out into the theater, "DADDY! SOMEONE HELP! LEIA'S WEARING METAL UNDERWEAR!!!"

Fortunately, the amount of fear and desperation in my voice made the packed theater of hardcore Star Wars fans find this adorable rather than annoying. Most of them laughed while my father had to haul me out of the theater and assure me that Leia's clothes were probably in somewhere nice and safe, and she would have them back very soon.


TL; DR My dad took me to see Star Wars, a movie I was far too young for, and I was disturbed and horrified by an iconic movie costume.
 
One time, my friends and I were not satisfied with the speed we were getting when using a slip-n-slide so we decided to add dish soap to the entirety of the mat. We didn't think our cunning plan all the way through and ended up with soap in our eyes and mouths. (:_(
 
When I was 4-ish I ate dish soap. There was a lemon on the bottle so it must be lemon flavored, right? Needless to say, it did not taste like lemons. :(

Also when I was 4-ish I ate the leaves of my mom's arrowhead vine plant because it looked like lettuce leaves. The leaves hurt my mouth because apparently they're poisonous!
 
I was in Sunday school and it was Palm Sunday and I was, I dunno 6ish and they were talking about how Jesus was resurrected so I raised my hand and asked "so is Jesus a zombie?" and then the teacher had to devote the entire lesson to explain.

Also, I played Pretty Pretty Princess with my brother and I would get really upset when he won and was the pretty pretty princess and I always got the cursed black ring!

As an aside, I always hated Pretty Pretty Princess because my stuck up cousin once made me play it with her but I swear she rigged it so she would win.
 
I once put packets of sweet and sour sauce in my pockets during school at lunch, forgot, and had to wear sauce drenched pants all day. Shit was so cash :left::cool:

Oh my God, I loved that game. I think I cried when I lost one time and got the black ring. XD
 
Another vacation story.

Two of my older cousins liked to have their own personal space - as in, they usually didn't want to play with anyone else except each other. Y'know, girl privacy and all. One year we had rented a condo, and they barricaded themselves in the bedroom four of us shared (it had bunk beds). Me and my other cousin got a piece of paper, wrote "Why can't wee wee come in?" on it, and slid it underneath the door. We thought it was hilarious, but they got pissed off.
 
One time I took a penny and dropped it down behind a nightlight - right on top of the prongs for the plug. It nearly set the house on fire.

Another time I put a Red Hot up my nose and walked around with it until it broke open and flooded my sinus cavity with the liquid inside.
