Always wanted to shoot the insulaters off of a high line pole. Was always too afraid of what Dad would do if he found out about it. I've done that.....lol

I was 4 years old first time I rode in a cop car. Me and my friend skipped out of town and went and played in the alfalfa fields. Put coins on the tracks and a few turned out real nice. About 300' before the train ran them over I had the sense to seek cover. After we had our coins we were ready to call it a day, so took the short way back,shimmied over a couple tarp dams and soon as we hit the pavement we got cuffed and stuffed. That's the same kid that waited for his mom to be carrying a full load of laundry down the hall, while lying in wait with a fishing line trip string. Had a disagreement with the neighbor kid, I may have hit him? He ran home. I saw him in his room through his window, so I grabbed a big rock and tried to hit him with it. I was a terror before I hit kindergarten. Glad I grew out of it

My grandmother was always deathly afraid of guns in the house. It stemmed from one of her brothers accidentally discharging his shotgun in the house right beside her when she was a kid. I was about 8 years old and had had a BB gun for a number of years. Old Crossman pump. I was cutting through the kitchen with the gun, which I thought was unloaded. Grandmother started fussing at me about having a gun in the house. Being the brat I was, I said "Oh come on Grandma, it's not even loaded" and pulled the trigger to demonstrate that fact. The glass door of the oven shattered. To make matters even worse, that oven was a strange double oven mounted into the wall, and they never could find the glass needed to repair it. It was a long time before I got my BB gun back.

Childhood was fun. I was actually the good son, because I watched my older brothers get into trouble a lot.
We neighborhood kids would ding and dash - ring the doorbell and run. Usually be hiding in the bushes by the time the lights came on. We always did it after dark of course.
I shot a few street lights with bb gun or slingshot, one was right at the corner of our driveway.
My sister is about 18 months older than me and she would have her girlfriends for sleepovers. There was a big tree with a low branch in our backyard that would allow me to climb 30 feet up. I would climb the tree in the dark and look directly into our upstairs bathroom for a nudie show when the friends were showering. I was like 14, it was a big deal, lol.
I liked playing with matches as a kid. I, and a couple friends, one hot dry summer day, were lighting tufts of grass, then stomping them out. One got away from us with the breeze and one of us yelled "RUN". We were about half way home through the woods when the sirens went off. Not to long later we learned that we had burned around three acres. I think I was 12.

I am told my cousin and I were in the school principals office for breaking a window at the ripe old ages of 18 and 24 months. At age 4 I locked my grandmother in the outhouse. It was an hour before somebody heard her yelling. At age 10 I decided to build a rocket and fuel it with Potassium Nitrate and sugar. I decided to melt the fuel in a tuna can using a candle. The 8 foot fountain of flame was impressive. I realized I didn't have good enough temperature control with a candle so the next attempt was on the kitchen stove. My mom noticed the scorch marks on the kitchen ceiling and that was the end of the great rocket experiment. Probably a good thing. Looking back it would have been less like a rocket and more like a pipe bomb.

Me and two friends stole a 1950 chevy pickup from the local beer joint. Went off the road and rolled it 3 times. We got out of it with minor bumps and bruises. lucky to be alive. I was 15.

Jake, you are the sort of guy that dumped Jello in the toilet at the parties weren't you? No, but I left some “upper deckers” in a few restaurants & hotels. Actually that was only 15 years ago.
