We all did some pretty dumb stuff as kids. I once plugged up the bathroom sink and let it run for hours in order to turn the entire bathroom into an aquarium.
Earlier this week, Twitter user @MotherofDoggons posed the following question to the site: “What’s the dumbest sh*t you ever did as a kid?”
The responses were so dumb, and so hilarious, they’ll really make you wonder how any of us made it out of childhood at all.

When I was in elementary school, I followed through on the “for a good time, call…” posts on the bathroom wall. And left a message. With our house number. And my name. I got the whooping of a lifetime.

Lost a bouncy ball under my bed and me and my cousin couldn’t see in the dark so I grabbed a lighter and held it under my bed.. caught my bed on fire. My parents still don’t know. 🤦🏻♀️

When I was 4 a skunk was on my porch, I thought it was a cat, opened up the door and the thing actually came in. My mom freaked and so did the skunk, spraying everywhere including both of us. Ya that was fun.

I wasn’t old enough to bake cookies so I’d chew up bread, form it into a cookie, put PB and sprinkles on top and sell them to my friends for a quarter. I finally told one of them the recipe and felt so bad I gave her a plate full for free. She ate them anyway.

My mother loves to tell this story: One day when I was really little I wanted to help her out in the kitchen, so to get me out of the way she gave me a potato to play with. After awhile she went to check on me only to find out I had managed to flush the potato down the toilet.

When I was like 6, I took an egg from the fridge and put it under my pillow before I fell asleep thinking it would be a baby chicken when I woke up
