What’s the worst thing you ever did as a child?

In 3rd grade, I brought a cigarette lighter to school and used it to set a girl’s ponytail on fire during class. I remember the teacher asking “What’s that smell?” and then all of a sudden the girl jumps up screaming, the top of her head was in flames. Why would she use hairspray on such a basic hairdo? Stupid.

Anyway, a couple of assholes in the back row ratted me out and it was a whole thing. Parents were called, lawsuits threatened. The girl’s parents wanted my hide. Lucky for me, my grandfather was a state judge and he made some phone calls and some money was paid to make it all go away.

Although apparently part of the deal was that I had to transfer to a private school and go to counseling. They claimed the girl had to have skin grafts and they said her hair would never look right again. Whatever. I always thought it was mostly her fault anyway. She was annoying and if she hadn’t had all that crap in her hair, it would’ve just burned the ends of her hair and then burned itself out.

I have no idea why I did this - I have no memory of how it got to that point BUT I remember being in the nurses office in 2nd grade - the nurse had to call my poor mom in to take me home. I pretended that I had laryngitis - but at that age I really didn’t understand laryngitis - I acted totally Helen Keller mute silent. It was like laryngitis that would be on Brady Bunch, Partridge Family or Gilligan’s Island. For some reason neither the nurse or my mom called me on it. My poor mother must have felt like a total ass going along with that! I totally cringe at the memory of being such a self indulgent idiot!!

I had a cat, and had built a little box "house" in the back yard to shelter stray cats. It had a rug hanging down for a door.

One day I caught an injured grackle. I don't know why, but I called my cat, coaxed him into the cat house, threw the grackle in after him, and held the rug door shut. It only took my cat a few seconds to kill the bird.

To this day I feel so ashamed for having done that.

It was the girl’s fault for being annoying. It was the girl’s fault for wearing so much hairspray. It was your classmates’ fault for ratting you out. It was the fire’s fault for not burning itself out at the ends. The girl milked it by needing skin grafts and being disfigured.

Was the worst thing you did as a child burning this girl’s hair or getting caught?

Summer between 5th and 6th grades. We had the only pool in the neighborhood and I had a crush on the boy across the street. One day a bunch of us neighbor boys were swimming and a "pretty" girl and her friend rode their bikes up to the fence around our pool. The neighbor was deeply engaged in flirting with the girls, and they with him, so I got out of the pool and went upstairs to my room. I got out my BB gun, pumped that thing a hundred times, and shot the pretty girl in her calf (from about 200 feet away!). It was silent to them, of course. She buckled over and grabbed her thigh. I went back outside and nonchalantly got back into the pool and asked "what's going on?" She said she thought a massive beetle or other bug must have stung her. I guess the BB dropped into the grass and disappeared. When I finally saw the wound, I felt horrible. It looked like a black puncture wound, but it did not bleed.

A few days later, I saw her at the corner market. Her leg was very bruised. I have never told anybody this story before.

I mean, getting caught was obviously worse because of what happened. Her parents were so mad I thought they might kill me. There was talk of me going to juvie, although thankfully that didn’t happen.

I had to change schools and go to counseling sessions and endure people talking in hushed tones about what was supposedly “wrong” with me. It was obvious that I was a “problem” for my family to deal with from then on.

Meanwhile, that stupid girl got lavished with sympathy and attention for months and months. Probably years, even. You can bet she milked that for all it was worth.

I stole a 3 musketeer candy bar from the grocery store in 4th grade. I was agonized with guilt until I wasn’t, about a week later. Then I ate it. Conveniently the store went out of business or I’d be forced to drag my adult ass there and offer payment. I think it was 25 cents at the time. Never stole anything else ever again.

I prank called this kid mercilessly in 7th grade. my friend and i would call and say stupid stuff, burp and belch and hang up. Nothing incredibly mean, but the true secret was that i had a crush on him and it was thrilling to hear his voice on the phone, even though i was pranking him. Anyway, his dad got pissed at all the phone calls and had them traced. I got into a lot of trouble from my parents. i don't think he ever knew it was me though, maybe his dad never told him who it was. This was before caller ID.

My 6th grade teacher had just washed his chalkboard and it was pristine. Sometimes kids would draw on the board or play tick tack toe but he told us all that we weren't allowed to mess it up that day, and then everyone went to lunch. I stayed behind and wrote in tiny little letters on the corner of the board, "Jason Rules!!!" and then I smeared it around to make it look like I had erased it but not enough that it couldn't be read still.

When we came back from lunch Jason got in big trouble. He was so irate, protesting his innocence, that he got sent to the office and I think suspended. Our teacher was just like, "Yeah, sure, ok. Who else would write that, Jason??"

R50, they tried to ruin my life over a prank while that stupid girl got sympathy and attention beyond belief. All because her scalp got a little singed. I’ve seen her since then and she looks fine. She has one of those Mia Farrow pixie haircuts. I heard through the grapevine that she can’t grow it any longer than that, but it’s just as well. She looks better this way.

There was some evil bratty boy in the grade below us. 2nd? There was also a very cute, nice retarded girl in the same class. There was a huge slide, to us anyway, in the playground. It was so popular the classes did it in groups. Kids were all behind each other on the ladder.

I was watching the class and the brat was behind the retard at the top. He pushed. She fell off the ladder to the ground. I saw the whole thing. One of those slow motion, movie-like moments.

AKKK!

She was alright we heard. It had to be at least 20 ft tall. They soon took it down

My mom was horrible with money, and I went through a period in my preteen years where I'd take advantage of that fact. I would occasionally write checks for pizza when she'd go out to party, and they'd sometimes bounce. Also, one time she sold her car for cash and kept it in a tin can in the house until she could deposit it in the bank. I took $40 and she never ever said anything.

There's no way I could've gotten away with stealing money from my dad. As disgusted as I am with my behavior, I'm disappointed she rarely made an effort to control her finances. In addition to filing for bankruptcy she got a credit card in my brothere name and ruined his credit. She tried to get one in my name, but fortunately Discover contacted me.
