Answer 2

This is good, check it out. My parents always new I had a thing for woman. Cause one day, my parent's, my maternal grandmother, my sister and myself were standing outside my grandma's house in "Maspeth, Queens" that's in New York city by the way. I was about 4yrs old, so I'm guessing it was around "1970".
This beautiful lady walked passed grandma's house carrying some groceries. (I guess she was at the A&P on the corner shopping). My parents were so engaged in conversation, they didn't notice that I started to follow the lady opposite the main street (which was Grand Avenue). By the time I followed her to the next street, She was at her house. Well I knew that we lived above the butcher shop on Grand Avenue about six city blocks away.
I don't quite recall the journey, which must have taken a good 15 to 20 minutes back to our flat. But I'm forty years old now, and I don't think I will ever forget the look on my moms face when they got to the butcher shop stoop where I was waiting for them. My grandma went on to her great reward years ago, and I just lost my father two years ago, But my mom still brings up the most horrific day In her life. The day she almost lost her son to another woman.

Answer 4

Trying to follow in my older cousin's bike riding, I was 5 he was 14. Decided to ride down a dirt trail on a hill. About 10 ft from the bottom there was a dirt ramp where you get air.

Cousin tells me just follow him and keep my brakes on. Well, I am 5, on a yellow sundance bike with the little basket on the handlebars and banana seat. I had my brakes on (you know where you have to pedal backwards to stop it, no hand brake levers here) and wasn't going anywhere, so I let go and away I went. I was going so fast couldn't even get my feet back on the pedals. Jumped that ramp cousin said I was about 20 ft in the air and I landed it (he came rushing forward and grabbed my bike so I wouldn' t fall.
It was a hard land. I hit so hard I fractured my right collar bone. We were too afraid to tell anyone how I did it. Said a dog was chasing me and I fell in a ditch.

Answer 5

I was a very curious child..I wanted to know why things were they way they were...so I took a match and lit up a pretty rose ...and I was only 3 years old ..the grass where the rose was dry and brittle ..we hadnt had any rain in months.. well it started a fire...and burned down a lumber company. My mother was outside hanging clothes on the line and saw me running back and forth with a saucer trying to turn off the fire. The Fire Dept got there and I ran inside and hid under the bed...The Chief sat me on his lap and told me NEVER to do that again...My Mother spanked me...Thank god that my parents did not have to pay a fine on that stupid prank of mine...I never did that again

Answer 6

Hold on to big rocks and then jump into the quarry with them and see how far I could sink before I had to come back up for air. All of us boys did it. I was the reigning champ, I could hold my breath for 4 1/2 minutes. Oh yeah, we had BB-gun wars too. Oh yeah, we also almost caught the woods on fire trying to make a home made flame thrower. We were able to put the fire out with shovels of dirt but we lost the tree house fort that we built.

Answer 7

My mum bought me these red boots for winter. I was waiting and waiting for the rain to fall, but no luck whatsoever. So I went in the bathroom I opened up a tap and left the water running. In like 10 minutes I had the whole apartment flooded ! But at least my new red boots really worked, whilst the apartment was all flooded,my socks where still dry lol

Answer 8

I'm not sure if this counts as crazy, but it sure is funny. When I was about 9 and my little sister was about 5, I told her to play a game with me because I was watching her while my parents went shopping. So, the game was that we would tie each other to this huge tree in our front yard and the person tied up had to escape. So, I made her go first and I tied her to the tree using two jump ropes and double knotted it. Then I told her to try and get out and she tried and tried, so finally I went inside, left her out there tied to a tree, and 5 minutes later my parents come inside and ask my why I'm in here and my sister is crying hysterically tied to a tree outside. We still talk about that day! I get a laugh out of it everytime.

Answer 9

After school let out after my second day of kindergarten I boarded a random school bus. Now mind you my mom picked me up from school normally. But in all the cartoons I watched all the kids rode the bus and I was always wanting to live out what I saw in the cartoons. After about a 15 minute bus ride the bus driver took me back to the school where the principal and my freaked-out mother were waiting.

Answer 10

I was 4 and my mom and I were shopping at Sak's Fifth Ave... while my mom was looking at clothes, I saw a beautiful bracelet on a mannequin and wanted to give it to my mom as a surprise, so I took it off and hid it in my pants pocket. When we got home I told my mom I had a present for her and gave the bracelet. She asked me where I got it and I told her that I took it from the store b/c I wanted her to have it. She explained to me that it was stealing since I did not pay for it. She drove us back to the store and made me give it back to the lady behind the counter... I was crying and upset and couldn't figure out why my mom and the woman were laughing- (now I realize that they thought the incident was cute and innocent)- needless to say, my mom ended up buying the bracelet but let me hand the lady the $...

Answer 11

I was about 6 and my dad took us to cow creek.
My dad and cousins would jump from a rail road trestle.
The trestle was only 10 feet over the water. So I thought I could jump off too. I went up to it and jumped.
Hit the water and was knocked out as soon as I hit the water.
The next thing I remember is my Dad holding me in his arms while my mother was driving us to the hospital.
