Three yo me was running around the living room with a sweater over my head. I hit the coffee table with my face. Tooth went through the skin below my bottom lip. Had to get 3 stiches at the ER. Almost 50 years and I still have a faint scar.
I watched a couple compilations of 'hilarious' fails today I was able to sit through, stoically and was ready to not laugh but the kid boobytrapping itself made me laugh in recognitions
My cousins and I used to hit our neighbor's metal flag pole because it made a neat clanging noise. One day we decided to use a hammer and bang it like a drum. The decorative metal ball on top of the pole fell off and hit my cousin on the head. She got a concussion and everyone else except our parents had trouble believing the story 😂😂
We lived a farming community. There was a grain elevator in town. The grain bens holding corn and soy beans were about 150 ft high. As a teen, I'd climb to the top and sit there and watch the 4th of July fireworks from three different counties.
What do you mean as a child? When I was 12-13 I was climbing trees and pretending to be Tarzan, jumped from a branch, intending to catch myself on another, couldn't hold on, and broke my arm. Tree weeks ago, barely days before turning 30, I was at a sporting goods store, saw roller-skates, and without any previous experience tried them on, no protections or higher brain function involved. I fell after 1 meter and broke the same arm. at the elbow. My dominant arm.
When I was a kid I was playing on a rocking chair not knowing how dangerous it was. My dad tried telling me not to stand on the chair and rock it, but I didn't listen and wound up falling off the chair and hitting my head on a baseboard heater. After a quick trip to the emergency room and a few stitches, I learned my lesson and I still have the scar to this day.
I was 4. We had these stools that you could spin on. My sister told me to stand on the stool and she would spin me. Well… I now have a nice dent in my forehead. How I escaped getting a plate, I don’t know. I never listened to my sister again. On the rock in the ear, I was 33. I ripped my mask off, and sent both of my hearing aids flying. Cue frantic search while praying that they don’t get run over. I find one and cram it in, only to find both my hearing aids. Yep. I stuffed a rock in my ear. Cue ER doctor laughing so hard he can’t do his job. Cue older doctor who knew my grandpa as he trained under him calmly fishing the rock out of my ear while chewing out the younger doctor over his behavior.
Lmao I did this too. Except I realized the pee splotch was too big to realistically come from our cat, and so I ended up scooping it out immediately. Parents never found out.
My most stupid moment: Age 7, jumped out of our tree to show my parents I could do it and was brave and could land. Spoiler: I could not. Severely sprained the top of my foot and couldn't walk for a few weeks. However, the one that takes the cake is from my sis. We're on vacation in San Diego and she's 3. As she put it, she "found a bead on the ground, and I didn't have any pockets, so I put it in my ear. It kept falling out, so I pushed it in further, and now I can't get it out." Went to a few different ER places trying to find someone with the tools to pull that bead out. My mom still has it in a scrapbook somewhere.
When I was 7 I pushed a pencil sharpener up my nose. Had to go to ER to get that thing out. and did I do that ever again? Yes, of course I did, 5 more times in fact.
A few of these stories escalated because the child was afraid of getting into trouble. Not saying never discipline you children, in fact disciplining is necessary!, but if your child is so afraid to come to you that he/she hides the problem, like getting an erasure stuck in his/her ear risking permanent ear damage, please reevaluate your parenting style. My father was like this. Could not tell him anything. If you had no choice but to ask him for help, he’d make you like such a botheration. Folks, don’t be like that!
one thing come to mind, dont really remember what grade I was in but we were allowed to go to home and to school independently from grade 3. Before that school would send a car to pick us up. So most of us used the public busses. But since half of my class was going to other direction than the other half, so we used different buss stops, the buss stops were located at the opposite sides of the road; it didn't take long before we invented a game where we would see how many times we could "visit" the other bus stop, by running through the road before our bus came. We stopped when a car hit a class mate of mine. He was fine later on.. But thats when it hit us whoa that was kind of dumb.
I got a baby doll, but I wanted one that I could “feed & change”, a more functional doll than the one I got, one I could give a bottle of water to and then have it put out the water as the “urine”. So I decided to emulate the reality by shoving a shoestring in its mouth and taking the other end & sticking that into the wall outlet. I got quite the shock from that & had to fess up about why I had done that. I had nothing else to work as a stand in for the bottle. My grandmother was a nurse. So this made sense to me.
Told my grandma in a bout of early childhood sarcasm that brokkoli was my favorite vegetable. She believed it and served it for the next 20 odd years. My parents still laugh about it.
Ran around with metal spoons as toddlers. My sister had it hurt her mouth roof but was lucky and only fell flat on my face when I hit the sofa. Wild times…
when i was 4 i jumped out of my bathroom window to get a toothbrush i had thrown and nearly died in year 3, i hopeed over the small fence in my school and broke my arm
I wasnt even a child, I was a teen and should have 100% known better but I had a widows peak at 13 and HATED it so much that I took a razor to it. Little did I know that I would look horrendous and if you shave your hair, it grows UP. For 2 years, my hair would stick up and I looked like alfalfa from little rascals 🤦♀️
One day I was riding my scooter in 2004 and I was going down my street and I went a little too far and almost got killed by 2 cars going North (1 way), and South (1 way). Safe to say I was grounded for 2 months.
When i was about 3 or 4, I decided to see what would happen if I poked a wire in one hole of a power outlet, a nail in the other hole, and turn on the power. When I came to across the other side of the room, my dad was repairing the fuse that had blown, and mum was fussing over me. Self administered shock treatment, could account a little bit for my eccentricities.
Well, when I was in 8th grade I was in gym (We had block schedules at the time so I had it for like 2 hours) and my friends stopped paying attention to my adhd ass to watch netflix and I got bored. So what did me and my other friend do? We found a piece of metal and I stuck it straight in the outlet and I got shocked. I was completely fine and very lucky and I actually didn’t even get caught. I then proceeded to do that *again* straight after I got shocked. What a wonderful year
there has been a few moments but the worse was when I was about 15. I was trying to fix a phone charger with a spring because I saw a video of it, well it ended up stuck in my thumb and I started freaking out because I couldn't get it out and man was he pissed. He doesn't let me live it down
There used to be a line of dents in my little brothers forehead at the same height as this one table made from a giant trunk with a particularly sharp edge
The rock one is similar to what happened when my sister got a bead, from those cheap mardi gras necklaces, stuck in her ear and after home/clinic/doctor attempts, they had to surgically remove it and that gave a glimpse as to how anesthesia makes her more loopy than a clown on acid 🤡
Wtf. The parents are the ones who fucked up in the rootbeer story. Even adults can get a little lost in there.. Who would let their kids out of sight in an airport, especially the first couple years after 9/11?? I'm glad getting locked out is all that happened.
I grabbed a red hot sparkler with my bare hand when I was younger because I thought it looked pretty. Got a 3rd degree burn on my hand. Still have the scars

The story of the kid swinging from the shower rod and landing in the toilet made me laugh so hard! 🤣
Same lmao
I watched a couple compilations of 'hilarious' fails today I was able to sit through, stoically and was ready to not laugh but the kid boobytrapping itself made me laugh in recognitions
2:11 I was eating and almost choked!! From the surprise laughter 😂😂😂😂 omg
In the span of seconds I slathered myself with butter.
I'm torn between the time I swam in the sand and the time I threw a cup of yogurt in the toilet and flushed it.
Better than swimming in yogurt and cleaning out in the toilet!

Ouch! Hope your arm heals fast!
lol that could be me

I peed in our cat’s litterbox . Not sure what my thought process was on that.
Lmao I did this too. Except I realized the pee splotch was too big to realistically come from our cat, and so I ended up scooping it out immediately. Parents never found out.
God damn we do some stupid shit as kids and these stories always crack me up .

The stupidity I get up to increases with age, and I’m 23 years old.
Im 20 and I’ve done more dumb shit in the last year than I did between 5-10. I blame my ability to drink alcohol🤦♀️
We should get drunk sometime and academic

I like yours and you grandma's style

How do you use spoons as toys, in childhood, let alone youth?
Did you grow up and spoon sluts or do you get home, and poo?
When my family went to a Chinese restaurant (I was about four years old), I saw all the waitresses and blurted out “Look at all the Mulans!”
when i was 4 i jumped out of my bathroom window to get a toothbrush i had thrown and nearly died
in year 3, i hopeed over the small fence in my school and broke my arm

used to think that if you died in you sleep you die irl
10:46 This story make me laugh my ass off.
I grabbed a red hot sparkler with my bare hand when I was younger because I thought it looked pretty. Got a 3rd degree burn on my hand. Still have the scars
Believed in my Mother
I didn't know what else to believe in, is my excuse
Believe I'll grow happy
We'll get there, we'll get there
