name something you got in trouble for while you were growing up... - Page 5

I have noticed that several of these entries involve the New Kids on the Block. They peaked when I was in the 7th grade- but because I had a late puberty and was quite overprotected and sheltered (not spoiled at all, though) by my parents, I had no interest in them at the moment. They released another album while I was in the 8th grade which probably still played while I was in the 9th grade... but by the time I entered 10th grade, they were a thing of the past.

Anyhow, more trouble moments:

- coloring on my uncle's book about dogs
- coloring on my father's ABBA album
- cutting my own hair (not so good results at age 3, amazingly good when I was a teen)
- something involving a leotard swap and lying to my mother about it. Why did I go through all this? I wanted a new more stylish and modern leotard and was afraid my mother would say NO and get upset at me for even asking. She did buy me a new one eventually.
- eating in between meals and hiding the food.
- turning around on my seat when the girl behind me was talking to me. I was held after school for that and began crying hysterically.
- talking to someone ONCE in the second grade. Got me an automatic "unsatisfactory" in conduct that week- and a weekend without TV.
- shaving part of my leg in at age 11 without permission.

Gee, no wonder I am so hard on myself nowadays. Few of these are funny, some still are not.

My step bro called 911 once when he was little because Power Rangers wasn't on.

I called 911 and hung up once...I think I was 4. When they called back, I got a "talking to."

- My best friend and I got in trouble for stealing her dad's Playboy out of the mail.

- I once called my brother a dumb dildo, ha ha. I had no idea what it actually meant at the time!

- I also once stuck a button in my nose (for safekeeping after it fell off my shirt) and had to be taken to the doctor's office to get it out.

I stuck a bead up my nose, but I didn't get in trouble cause my parents never found out. It was pink. I remember hiding in the bathroom trying to get it out.

This happened when I was 6 years old, and my brother was only 6 months old. We had just gotten back from vacation in Myrtle Beach, so my mom's huge suitcase was still out in the bed room. My mom needed to take a shower, and I was occupied watching Power Rangers, so she left my brother in his play pen and asked me to watch him (it was only going to be 15 minutes or so).

I then had this BRILLIANT idea to get the suitcase from the bedroom, get my brother out of the play pen, and then put him in the suitcase. I did this, and I zipped it up -- but not all the way, I still wanted him to have some breathing room. I was doing it to "surprise" my mom, like a gift. She said I walked into the bathroom, and she immediately knew what I did.

My dad whupped my ass the hardest I ever had it...

My son put a pebble in his ear when he was 4. He had to have outpatient surgery to get it out because it was resting against his ear drum and they were afraid he would squirm while they were trying to get it out unless he was under anesthesia. His preschool teacher pulled me aside when I picked him up that day and told me he had been awful all day.. oppositional and defiant and she was convinced that he hated her (she had a good relationship with his sister/my daughter a couple years prior and was GREAT with the kids). So I'm yelling at him in the car on the way home that he has to do what Miss Marcella tells him to do ALL the time and he cannot act like that. He pipes up from the back seat "I have a rock in my ear" I say "What do you mean you have a rock in your ear?"

Boy: On the playground, someone put a rock in my ear.
Me: Who put a rock in your ear?
Boy: I don't know.
Me: How can someone put a rock in your ear without you knowing who did it?
Boy: They were behind me
Me: If I have to take you to the hospital to get a rock out of your ear, I need to know who did it!!!!!!!!! (yelling)
Boy: <very quietly> I did it.
Me: WHY WOULD YOU PUT A ROCK IN YOUR EAR?
Boy: To see if it would fit

We get to my daughter's school to pick her up from latch key and I look in his ear and can't see anything. I'm not sure if he's telling me this to get out of being in trouble for being mean to his teacher or what. But when we get home, I get out a flashlight and sure enough, there's a flippin rock in his ear. ARGGGGGGGG. Hubby takes the kid to ER and they send him home "Don't let him be too active" Yeah right! He's a FOUR YEAR OLD BOY! Scheduled for surgery the next morning <sigh> What a trip! Funniest story of his life... so far (hoping it stays that way!) Oh yeah, 4 year old boy on anesthesia.. funniest thing EVER!

ETA: We still have the rock, they gave it to us in a biohazard bag...LOL

That story kicks ass.

*I cut off one of my pigtails at like age 5.

*I sprayed my brother in the eye with kitchen cleaner.

*I tore up and ate a dollar bill (not sure what age I was, but my babysitter's daughter who was the same age as me dared me to do it).

Thought of some more.

When I was about three, I wanted to know what was inside my dad's cigarettes. My dad had just gotten a new pack and had left it on his nightstand. I took out every cigarette and tore them all apart. My dad was pissed when he saw what I had done.

When I was about four, I took a marker and drew all over my face. My mom got so mad at me. She punished me by grabbing me by the arm, dragging me outside, and cutting my long hair off. She hated having to wash and brush my hair, because it was so hard to detangle. So when I misbehaved by drawing all over my face, that was the last straw.

I drank bleach when I was 2. My sister and mom made me drink milk and then ran me up and down the driveway until I puked. Funny thing, I still remember my mother's scream when she saw the opened bottle on the kitchen floor. HA

Jimmy Choo · #72 08-29-2008, 10:23 PM

For the record I was like 3 or 4 so I don't remember what inspired me to do this. I just know that I did. I wandered away from my mom in the local corner grocery store. Not too big a deal b/c my worked there and everyone knew us. Everyone was like one big family. So I had wandered into the aisle that carried femine products and opened one of those giant boxes of tampons. I guess I thought after unwrapping the tampons that they looked like "rockets". So I decided to "launch" them. By the time someone saw me and then and went and found my mom I had "launched" close to 50tampon "rockets" all over that particular aisle. And as several of these stories have ended.....I got my ass WHUPPED!!!!!

LucyKKG · #73 02-16-2009, 04:16 AM

Bumping in hopes that someone has more stories!

*In kindergarten, the teacher sprayed the tables (with like Windex or something) to clean them. My friend dared me to lick it, so I did, and the teacher caught me doing it. I got a "letter home" in my backpack.

*This was around the same time. My mom had promised me a snack. She put a paper towel down to put some crackers on it, but the phone rang, so she went to get it. I kept saying "Moooomm, I want some crackers!!" She told me to wait because she was on the phone. When she returned to the kitchen, I was eating the paper towel.

I don't think I've contributed to this thread yet, so here are a few:

- One night when I was nine, my family was having meatloaf for dinner at my aunt's house. I hated meatloaf! There was something on TV that my brother and I wanted to watch, so we got to eat dinner in the TV room. I waited for my brother to leave the room for a minute, then I took my meatloaf and stuck it behind a pillow of my aunt's Drexel Heritage sofa. When my mom came in and praised me for eating my meatloaf, she noticed that I was kindof laying on the pillow in a weird way...so she lifted it up and discovered what I had done. I still get teased for it!

- When I was 10, my neighbor friend and I were skipping and playing in her front yard and decided to sing a song. So what song did we pick? Why, one of my grandpa's old Navy songs, of course! The song was full of cuss words, and the nosy neighbor lady across the street heard us and ratted us out to my friend's dad - who was a state patrolman - that night. And he did the best he could that night to scare the crap out of us!

- In seventh grade, my best friend and I snuck out in the middle of the night with a couple of boys to go T.P. a friend's house. We felt so...dangerous! We were obviously young and stupid, too, because we walked up the main arterial of the neighborhood on our way home, and wouldn't you know that the only car we didn't hide from in the bushes was a police car! All four of us got put in the back seat and questioned...one of the boys was so scared that he couldn't remember what year he was born. We were driven home to our families, who needless to say were not pleased.
