My mom, told me repeatedly, to stay off the roof & not to jump off it either. She felt I would land in her cactus garden & get hurt.
I didn't do as asked and kept jumping off the roof. Day came that I fell backwards upon landing & my mom enjoyed every minute of pulling those thorns out of my back & a#*. One by one.

Don't run, wear shoes, sit still, stop jumping, don't swim across the lake, don't run the horses
All sorts of injuries, I truly made my mom nervous, she could not stand to see blood and I was always at the emergency room
Don't run-ran into the door and got a concussion
Ran into a tree and got stitches
Ran from my dad around a corner, he grabbed my arm and it broke
Stepped on a broken bottle and had to have the bottom of my foot stitched
Rad into the metal angle iron of the bed and split my toe off from the other ones, my dad used duct tape to tape it back on, but mom insisted on stitches again
stepped on glass all the time
stepped on metal all the time
if I would have sat still, I would not have had any adventures
Don't swim across the lake, well I could do it, but had to float for awhile when I got tires, and sea weed is dangerous to get tangled in and there are snakes in the lake
Got thrown from a horse and broke my leg and arm
Lessons learned on my own. don't put regular Christmas lights on an aluminum tree, yes, it does electrocute you
Take light off fish tank first before you clean it, you can get electrocuted
Don't stick the fork in the toaster because can get electrocuted, and you really can!

I think I was 5 and my brother 4.Our house backed onto a river but a fence had been put up so we sneaked off down the street and played under the edge of the bridge where there were lots of little fish and tadpoles . We were having a great time until we turned around and saw our mom coming down the bank. She chased us all the way home and every once in a while giving our butts a whack with a twitch she had grabbed on her way home. I am sure people must have thought we were being murdered the way were screaming. I know we never did that again.

do not ride your wagon thru the middle of the bea hives, stay out of that tree, do not go in the corn crib where the copper heads are, do not sick the dogs on the neighbor weirdo in the woods, do not pick the colored glass out of the chicken poop and put it in your pocket, leave that dead bumble bee alone, stay away from the cow and her calf, do not ride that horse he is dangerous, just a few I remember doing when told no. Oh yeah and stay out of the creek. Guess I didn't mind much but -- when you knew the kid police weren't around hmmm you could do it anyway. Got caught a few times -- bee stings.

I can honestly say that every bit of advice my Ma gave me was wrong. She put me and my sister into care when we were aged 2 and 4, and when we (briefly) went to live with her in our teens, she gave me two bits of useful advice:
1. potatoes take 20 minutes to boil
2. when timing a journey on the tube, allow 2 minutes per stop
Everything else she told me about men, money & life was pants. Thats why she has no money and no friends, and I have lots of both.

Only one? ....Sorry, many more....1) Don't have sex until you get married. 2) Don't marry the first guy you fall in love with. 3) Don't drink until you're 21. 4) Don't smoke pot. 5) Don't listen to THAT music (fill in your own) 6) Don't have kids until you're finacially able to afford them. 7) Don't get divorced. 8) Get a nice hairstyle & wear nicer clothes. 9) Don't go to bars. 10) Don't date anyone you met in a bar.......I've broken every one of those & I'm sure quite a few more. My mother's turning over in her grave right now. I've paid for my mistakes. Sorry Mom.

When I was little-I used to live by the beach-and me and my sister weren't allowed to go to the beach by ourselves. We never listened, and snuck off anyways.
One time, we decided to go swimming with are friends, and we put are swimsuits under are clothes. We were playing in the water for awhile and I got stung by a jellyfish.(I was five at the time) And my friends older sister took me to her house, and her mom called my mom!
My mom was furious, not only did we get caught being at the beach, we also went swimming!
I remember being grounded for along time, and not gettng to play outside. For a LONG time.
We were never able to sneak off the beach again.

The one thing that I did which had the worst consequences was to marry my ex-husband! Bad move! I would rather have had the thorns in my backside!

My mom told me not to get married - twice - but I did it - twice. She was right - twice! I did have some beautiful kids, though, so I guess we both win.
