mine are (or the ones I can think of):

tip over the tray on the high chair (but I guess a lot of kids do that.). I hated my high chair soooo much.

- throw my marble collection at vases or other breakable objects, then laugh when they smashed

-peeing in telephone boxes (which sort of became an obsession)

that's all I can think of for now.. their's probbaly others too- I'll think on it.

what about you?

something else: shoot my water gun and birdies/ other insects

[Soupe du jour]

I did a lot of naughty things and was often blamed for others that I didn't even do. Once I even told my mother that "If I did even half of the things I am accused of doing, I must be AMAZING!"

At maybe 6 years old, I thought it would be nice to get mail. So I went from one neighbors' mailbox to another stealing their mail. I did that two days in a row. The second time a neighbor noticed it, so told my mother. Of course I got in big trouble. As part of the punishment, I had to return all of the mail directly to the neighbors and personally apologize for stealing it, and opening several pieces.

I used to cry a lot when i was young. My mother was extremely annoyed with me.

In 5th grade I printed some really inappropriate letters from my school laptop to my classroom printer. It was a big deal and the teacher was reading them aloud and asking who did it. I did it a couple times but the principal then tracked the letters to my computer. She had to get someone from the school district to hack into the system. I just got my computer taken away for 6 weeks. I didn’t get into huge trouble like a kid would if they did that in these times.

played "knock and run" with the naybours

I enjoyed it, them not so much

Confessions: I sexually experienced when I was a child. Didn’t have a stable home environment. I remember watching Animal House as a child and other movies and thought that was the real version of what life should be like. Father left when I was 1 and mother looked at me like I was my fathers child because he didn’t pay child support. Threats from mom were Go Live With Your Father. First movie at three was Jaws. No one took me to a therapist or spoke to me. Hitting was the means of communication. Wasn’t right but as a child I didn’t see it any other way. Looking back, I would have never done it and wish I never did.
Pushed a kid off the turtle toy in kindergarten so I could have it. Regret it but was still a child that wasn’t fully developed.
Stole a flag cupcake topper.
Grandpa used to get mad about signs in his yard, so I threw them in a puddle. I got in trouble but who looks at the adults?

Neglect and Regrets

[*Beth*]

One day when I was 10 years old I'd forgotten my house key. My mother was at work, I had no father in the home. So I was locked out after school. The garage was unlocked, so I dragged a ladder and set it up to reach a kitchen window. I climbed up the ladder and broke the window so I could climb in. I denied to my mother that I had broken the window. Of course, she knew I had. But for some reason I never could tell her. By the time she died some 30 years later, I had never admitted to having broken the window. I don't know why, but I never could tell her the truth about that window.

When I was four I'd pinch my brother till he cried then tried to calm him down so he wouldn't tell my parents.

And at four years old I called 911 several times for fun...got in BIG trouble for that.

[downandlonely]

When my brother was a baby, I would break things (by accident) but then claim he did it so I wouldn't get in trouble.

[mugwort2]

When my sister was nine and I was eight with a bunch of neighborhood kids in Summers Point NJ we snuck into what we assumed an abandoned home . We were in the shock of our lives when we got to the master bedroom there was a man and woman living there. To say they didn't appreciate us being in their house was a really huge understatement. Their yelling at us scared the he... out of us. My sister, the other kids and I never did such exploring from then on.

[KBMK]

I took the glue out of pritsticks and rolled it round in my hands until it was like blue tack, then stuck stuff to the ceiling with it. Got away with that for weeks, until my dad's friend Cliff was round and a cup fell on him. Got away with lots of carry on.

Some kids I went to school with would call 911 from the public library’s pay phone. They never got in trouble because how would they know it was them

That’s hilarious! It reminds me of a silly little memory I have of being at school. It was Christmas and we were in History, being lectured (told off) by the teacher. Right after he finished one of the Christmas decorations fell off the ceiling and landed in a neat pile on his desk, which broke the tension we were all feeling.
I don’t think I was a particularly naughty child but I’m sure there were things I did that my parents didn’t like! Hmm. I remember I used to dry the cat off on rainy days with a tea towel even when I was asked not to. Telling my brother to shut up became a compulsion - I would go back in time and change that if I could, even though it didn’t end up having serious consequences.

I locked the neighbor's dog in the crawl space under our house once and forgot he was there. He started making noise, and my mom freaked out because of it. When I was asked if I knew what it was, I lied and said no. I got in bigggg trouble when they figured it out.

Poor dog I did some bad things like this when I was kid, too

[Prycejosh1987]

Me, my older brother and cousin stole money. I stole £5 and bought a watch,
my brother stole £20 he bought something, that i do not remember,
our cousin stole £100 and bought trainers.
I got the blame for everything and was beaten by my younger uncle then i was beaten by my Nan with the shoe and then the next uncle came home and beat me with the belt. Its actually sad looking back, because i told the truth but my cousin and brother lied. I used to get beaten for absolutely stupid reasons.

[~*glass_owl*~]

My mom had a drawer where she kept money, we would just take from it so often she started leaving money there for us instead of punishing us for stealing (I had a weird mom). We'd go out and spend it on candy and stuff we needed like food (there was never enough food I liked to eat in the house). I guess I was a practical kid. Oh yeah and prank phone calls, I did that too. I ordered pizzas for people who hadn't ordered them.

When I was two mum and my aunt put my cousin also two on the step and gave us both a popsicles and took our picture. I hit my cousin on the head with my popsicle. I don’t remember this but the story has been often repeated.

[Mountaindewed]

I used to call 411 at my friends house and fool around with them just because. This one lady said “honey, stop playing on the phone.” I racked up my friends phone bill too doing that.

I love this thread haha. One time (after reading The Magician's Nephew) a friend and I got the idea that we could crawl into next door's attic, and we made a hole in the roof lining and the insulation before we were discovered
I also took the plaster off the chimney breast in my room, cause I had watched my mum do that downstairs...but made a bit of a mess of it

[downandlonely]

I played with insulation in the basement one time and got a rash

I did quite a lot of naughty things as a child, but one stands out and it earned me my first visit to the Headmistress at school

I went to a primary and middle school that took 5 year olds up to 12 year olds. We used to go to lunch in two groups - younger kids , ( me, 6 at the time) & older kids. One day in assembly the Headmistress warned that some kids had been putting salt all over other kids food at lunch - ruining it. This would not be tolerated and any one caught would be punished. This, it seemed, had been happening at the older kids lunch.

Goodness knows why... but that day at lunch I unscrewed the top from the salt shaker, and tipped the lot over the boy sat next to me's food. Turning it from barely edible to definitely not edible. No mistake who was responsible. Had we not been told about this in the assembly it would never have occurred to me.

After lunch we went to the playground and I was a hero, older kids coming up, impressed with my daring! All was well until the end of play bell went, and I was summoned for my visit to Mrs Jones - the Head. What had she said would happen to anyone who put salt on another's food? Punished.

This was 1975. Teachers used Corporal Punishment. The horror of the situation dawned on me pretty quickly, and the tears started streaming. Not deterred Mrs Jones quickly dished out two almighty whacks across my behind with a wooden ruler.

Or Christmas attempted peeking in already wrapped presents and searched in my parents’ bedroom closet another time for hidden Christmas presents.

I’m also slightly guilty of this!
