I don't know what is worse, I burned a lot of things in my pyro phase and wrapped and re-wrapped Christmas presents. I also snuck out...and never did it again since my mom figured it out within like 15 minutes! And she didn't punish me, just sobbed. That was worse than any punishment!

Ha! Y'all were rebels! My best friend and I used to skip school and go to art museums. Dorks!

I was a terrible kid - When I was young, maybe 9 or 10, I cleaned the toilet with my sister's toothbrush (never told anyone to this day).
Friends weren't allowed over until our parents got home from work, so my sister & I waited until our dad came in the kitchen door and sent our friends out the bathroom window.
In junior high, a friend & I would wait at the bus stop until my mom drove by going to work. We then went back to my house for the day.

My brother and I put those exploding cigarette thingies in my Mom and Dad's cigarettes. Problem was we put more than one in each cigarette making them downright dangerous. My Mom lit up and her cigarette made quite the impressive 'BOOM'. The entire end of that ciggy was blown to oblivion. We had to RUN,RUN,RUN for our lives...LOL.

When my younger brother was around 26 months he was getting really good at chasing 7 year old me around the house. It was all in love and games and he figured out that attacking me with the "tickle monster" was the quickest easiest way to getting me squeeling and running. I remember him jumping onto the sofa and saying tickle tickle tickle. I jumped off and took off towards the hallway. I ran in the bathroom and waited for him to catch me. When he got to the outside of the bathroom door i jumped out and yelled boo, to which he replied tickle tickle and reached out. I put my arms out and gave him what i believed to be the lightest of pushes I could possibly do for fear of actually hurting him as i ran by. I push and run. I get not even a full step when i hear a shriek of pain. I turn around and there is neil on the floor. I pushed him just hard enough his head jerked back and hit the corner of the door. There was blood on the frame and he was screaming. I saw blood dripping from the back of his head. I screamed for my mother who immediately wrapped him in a towel and her and my cousin whisked neil off to the hospital. I sat there on my dads lap in shock of what happened. I couldnt believe i actually hurt my baby brother, even if it was on accident. the most important person in my life. i cried and told dad how i felt. About 3 hours later my mother still clutching my brother as tight as can be returned home. Neil had to have stitches and had a huge bandage wrapped around his head. I ran to him and smothered him with kisses crying and telling him how much i love him and was so sorry. I will never forget how horrible i felt! then he looked in my eyes gave me a weak smile and said its ok sissy i love you. It was definally one of my worse childhood memories. I was so worried i really hurt him!

neil always jokes that he still holds it against me and jokes i did it on purpose. When he was around 11 he slipped on a pair of my underwear that were sitting on the steps going down to our laundry room. Even tho I had nothing to do with it he blamed it on me that his teeth went through his bottom lip when he fell. Hes 19 now and still maintains that every injury he ever had was my fault. and that im not allowed to own purple underwear or I might hurt someone else. LOL!

This is a hard one, so many too chose from. I think it may have been when I was five I was roller skating and my little 4 year old brother wanted to skate so I told him I would hold him and he could skate with me. Well I picked him up and tried to skate and ended up dropping him on his head. He needed part of his head shaved and lots of stitches. He has forgiven me and we can laugh about it now.

convinced my brother to eat Pill Bugs (Rollie Pollie bugs) because when the balled themselves up they looked like the little chocolate candies called Sixlets. Ugh, that was more gross than mean. He said they tasted good....

House was two stories and my room was downstairs...parents upstairs. was 'dating' a boy who had a weekend cottage in my town. so liked spending time with him....wouldn't you know it? The window closed and locked behind me...'

The worst thing I ever did was this: I was mad at my mom one day and so I went to the 'fridge and switched the raw eggs with the hard boiled eggs. When my mom grabbed two eggs to slice up for a salad, she was rather surprised to find they were raw. She questioned my sister and me...and I lied and said it was my sister who did it. Being the younger sibling, my sister fessed up -- until we were told that we couldn't go see the latest Disney movie until we told the truth. I had to tell the truth and well, was grounded for (1) switching the eggs, (2) blaming my sister, and (3) lying. We still laugh about it to this day..."remember when you switched the eggs?"...

shoplift a necklace from a local children's clothing store. I think I was 9 or 10 years old. We didn't have a lot of money, and we had gone in the store to look. My mom said we couldn't buy anything. I saw the necklace - thought it was spectacular, and walked out with it. I was stupid enough to put it on and wear it in front of my mom that very same evening LOL. She asked me where I got it... I was made to take it back to the store the next day and hand it back to them and tell them what I'd done. Oooo-weee - was that ever humiliiating! I'm so glad that she did that and I would do the same with my daughter today.

I was stubborn one Sunday morning and insisted I wanted salt on my pancakes. My parents assured me I wouldn't like it, but I ate (at least some of) it anyway.

I've never put salt on a prepared meal since, and I have to remind myself to add it to things I'm cooking.

well, not when I was little....but....in 9th grade I got caught shoplifting makeup. It was the first & last time I've ever done that. Can I add that I am 40 yrs old...so this was a LONG, LONG time ago!!

We had a parakeet when I was little, and I used to collect the tail feathers when he'd lose them. Then one day, when my mom wasn't in the room, I had him perch on my finger, I held his feet down with my thumb and I pulled all his tail feathers out. When my mom saw him, she shrieked in horror and asked me what happened, and of course I lied.

I eventually got caught, and got a couple of nice spankings and was sent to bed early for a week.

I was only about 5?

I think it's ironic that I'm a hard-core animal lover and huge animal rights supporter now! :) I feel horrible about it now, of course... I didn't know it would hurt him when I was little. :(
