Ok, so i'm in the mood to laugh... so i figured it would be fun to discuss the ridiculous things we did as kids whether on purpose or accidental. whatever, its just gotta be funny lol
i'll start:
when I was 6, my parents and I flew out to the midwest to visit the fam. At the time, I had ridiculously long hair that I of course refused to let my mom brush. Complete with the stretch pants, high tops, and big bugs bunny shirt, i was a regular white trash walking disaster.. ok..moving on.
so, on the escalator, i decide that I have to have my troll (or whatever stupid toy was hot at the time) in my suitcase, so I bend down trying to get it out of my bag. I'm concentrating so hard on my task, I fail to realize that my hair has gotten stuck in the escalator and is slowly being sucked into the stairs, by this time, my parents got off the escalator and i started screaming my head of.... they had to stop the escalator and cut my hair to free me lol
we still made our plane though. lol
i still have a fear of escalators but its still one of my favorite stories lol

Half-cocked a pellet gun and pulled the trigger.

Needed several stitches.

Otherwise, I wasn't all that accident prone.

I was rolling in a tire and chipped my right front tooth on the ground. It still shows to this day.

I got hit by a bike (10 speed) while playing double-dutch and broke my collar bone.

My daughter shaved her eyebrows.

My mom told me that when I was 17 months old, I walked into the kitchen, where her and her friend were sitting, threw down my toy, and said "Oh shit", and then walked out.

When I was 4, I was admiring all the wigs that my aunt owned but I thought only bald women could wear them so I started cutting my hair. My mom was able to stop me but not until after I had given myself a nice bald patch above my forehead and right ear. I had to wear a hat or scarf to cover up my bad hair-cut.

i managed to break my own nose - gymnastics class, we were being thrown into a foam pit and nobody told me to keep my body rigid. so i got tossed in all loose and floppy and the next thing i know is incredible pain and people asking me if i can open my eyes. broke my nose and had two hellishly awesome black eyes for about a month (like the kind that goes black, blue, purple, green, yellow)

I also fell out of a little red wagon onto the drive way and got a concussion at age 2 and a half. I leaned back too far and tumbled out. After that my grandpa attached an old seat back to the back of the wagon which from then on was the dork-wagon of the neighborhood.

I fell out of bed during the night and broke my left clavicle at age 4. While I was in the hospital my grandma took matters into her own hands and started sawing down the legs of my bed.

My sister broke a small bone in her foot after falling the wrong way on her foot during a pillow case race with the pillow still in it at a childhood sleepover. Yuck. And my other sister dislocated her elbow while we played 'airplane' with her at age 3. Major ouch.

Tried to catch ice cycles falling from the eves of the house.

Da, went through my lip! Ouch!

Still got the scar today.

I have always been a klutz.... so I have many many stories I could post in this thread!

The funniest had to be when I was 16. I had been at softball practice all day Saturday, and as a catcher, I had been squatting all day (it was an 8 hour or more practice). So that night, I got a really bad cramp in my leg in the middle of the night. I was so startled that I rolled out of bed, and got a huge rug burn on my forehead.

You can imagine all of the horrible jokes that followed at school for the next two weeks. *LOL*

The most horrible was probably when I was 5. I was in Florida on vacation with my Mom, and she had me riding on the back of her bike. I got my foot caught in the spokes, and she didn't realize it, and kept riding. Of course my screams got her to stop. It took them over an hour to get my leg out. I still have a huge scar on my ankle. I couldn't walk for over a month, and had to crawl everywhere or use crutches. It was really bad. :-( I've never been a big fan of bike riding since then, which sucks because my hubby was on the racing team at Virginia Tech. He's really into it. I keep telling him I'll give it another chance...

Not really an accident, but still embarrassing.
I was at King's Dominion with my family and family friends when I was 7. I wanted to get on this roller coaster so my mom, the other family's daughter who was 6, and her mom all decided to get on. As we were in line I started to get really nervous but decided to get on anyway. I was crying when the ride left the station so the attendents saw me, STOPPED THE RIDE as it was going up the first hill, climbed up the hill and asked me if I wanted to get off. I said yes and I thought my mom was going to murder me and she just kept repeating, "Jamie is YOUNGER than you and she's staying on the ride!" My mom and I had to climb down the hill (which was about a foot wide with no railings) so I could get off. The roller coaster was stopped halfway up the hill for about 30 minutes, the people on there probably wanted to kill me.

When I was 4 yrs old, I had a cold and needed to blow my nose. After I did, I went to throw my tissue away in the kitchen. My mom had just finished cooking and had turned the oven off but it was still hot. My sister, who was 3, was with me and told me that I should touch the coil in the oven (we could see it through the oven) with the tissue. I opened the oven and did it. It caught on fire while the tissue was still in my hand. I freaked and dropped it on the floor. The little fire went out but it charcoaled part of the kitchen floor. My parents were ticked!! lol....My sister and I were crazy when we were little!

When I was 4 I stuck my fingers in the VCR and I couldn't get them out. It ripped off one fingernail. That was pretty awesome.

9 yrs old my older brothers and their friends were riding an atc quad in back of the house where a huge dirt mound/hill was formed...... i begged and begged to ride it all day and they of course said no because mom said no....well after a while of begging and pestering them they finally said ok. Well i wanted to do the dirt hill run and i got up it 1/2 way up it flipped on me so my oldest brother reaches up and pushes it forward and as it landed on all fours it bucks up and took out my whole entire front row of teeth having to cap each and every one of them.

Fell out of the tree house my dad and uncle made us kids

crash and skidded into a hugh throny bush on my bike at 7 as the entire street kid population would race around the block anc create bike races and took myself out in the alley.

got stuck climbing a tree in the alley way

broke my arm skating

I am so glad i am no longer a tom boy

4 brothers and to be the only girl you tend to get scrapped up a bit! best childhood of my life!

Me and my mom and her mom, were going down the escalators in Macy's, and my grandmother accidently burned a cig hole in my head because she wasn't paying attention. I was several steps below them. My grandma had her head turned because she was talking to my mom, but she was holding her cig in front of her. She burned me because she didn't notice that I stopped at the bottom of the escalators to wait on them.

When I was like 7, the neighborhood bully was trying to pick on me and some of my friends. So...my mom taught me how to fight. At one point, she was holding up a cabbage patch, while I practiced throwing punches. I threw a very hard punch and knocked the CP out of her right hand. All of the weight from my punch and cabbage patch shifted to her left hand and broke one of her fingers. Oops!

This happened to one of my cousins. When she was like two, she put hot pepper (the kind you get w/ chinese food) where the sun didn't shine, and screamed for like 10 minutes. What posessed her to do that? I don't know.
