When I was in about the 4th or 5th grade. So 9 or 10 I cam home one day and my mom wasn’t there when I got off the school bus. This had never happened before.
I thought it was an emergency and called 911. The police came and I told them ‘someone stole my mommy’. About 10 minutes later she pulled up. Running late from shopping. Probably not my finest moment.
She never gave me any flack for that.
What did you do when you were a kid?
Snuck into the barn, soaked my old stuffed animals in gasoline, and lit them in fire in the driveway.
My brothers and I used to take the lightbulb out of our lamp and throw aluminum foil balls at it so it would spark a bunch.
It’s really a mystery how I never burned the house down.
When I was 6 we lived on a street that had a little donut shop on the corner. I stole some change from my Auntie and went down and bought a bag of donut holes. My mom found me out playing on the street with the other little kids with the bag and spanked my butt for stealing, lying and going to the donut store.
Got caught shoplifting balloons from the nearby grocery store. That got me grounded for week.
Or me and my friends used to steal the valve caps off of tires of cars. We kind of made it into a contest to see who could get the most.
I was 17 and one night I was sitting in my car at the park with a couple friends. I had just rolled up ten fat joints and then we heard sirens and two cop cars with their lights on came screeching up behind my car. There was no time to do anything. They walked up and saw ten joints in plan view and ordered everybody out of the car. After a while they threw the joints on the pavement and ground them into dust with their boots. No one got ticketed or anything. I was sweating bullets though; I had a pound of pot in my trunk. But they didn’t search it and let us go with a warning.
I guess the moral of the story is don’t steal balloons, it can lead to harder drugs.
