Childhood Craziness - Share your story

Just curious how my childhood craziness compares to everyone else.

1. Rode down the street on a skateboard on my stomach, wheel got stuck in eroded asphalt while going downhill, slid off and pulled my gums over my teeth. 8 stitches to hold them up

2. Built a snow tunnel when I lived in CO and had it collapse on me trapping me underneath until my best friend / next door neighbor karate chopped me out.

3. Watched "A Christmas Story" then proceeded to dare my cousin and we both went outside and stuck our tongue to the frozen aluminum fishing boat. Took about 10 minutes before our parents realized we were missing and poured warm water on it to get us unstuck. Taste buds were stuck to the boat.

4. Played tag in the front yard with two motor homes parked in opposite directions, went up one ladder, down the other over and over till the roof gave way and Three nails went 3/4 of the way through my foot. Was eating that candy that foams in your mouth leaning over the edge of the motor home crying and screaming with foam pouring out of my mouth and a bloody foot in the air.

5. Was chicken fighting on the monkey bars with my karate snow chopping best friend, went to grab the next bar while releasing the one behind me at the same time he grabbed me and pulled me down, cracking my collar bone in half.

6. Went ice fishing in a homemade portable ice hut with four holes cut in the floor so you can ogger out for ice fishing holes and park it over. Got a bit on my pole, got excited and stepped into a drilled out hole in the ice cold water all the way up to my waist.

7.  Fractured my wrist playing flag football.

8. Slammed my thumb in the garage door, nail turned black and fell out.

9. Decided it would be a good idea to ride my neighbors Doberman like a horse, fell off grabbing for his hear to hold onto something, turned and bit my head catching me just under the nose and on top splitting my head open. 14 stitches

10. Karate snow chopping best friends white terrier escaped into their front yard , grabbed him when I was on my way over to return him a bee was on the screen door so i decided to hit it and knock it off but it was on the other side, slapped it's stinger and got stung, screamed loudly from the pain, scared the dog which then turned and bit into my ear causing it to bleed.

11.  Easter time everyone was out back and they yelled for all the kids to come outside, got excited, ran as fast as I could straight into the seemingly invisible glass door and smashed my nose.

12. Decided it was a good idea to have a BB gun war with my friends only some of them had pump action rifles that they pumped up 12 times, 8 times more than the agreed upon limit of 4. Friend popped up behind a bush and (despite the no shooting above the chest area rule) shot straight at my head. The BB proceeded to lodge itself in the softer part of my scalp just above the hairline where I had to pull it out with tweezers and blood poured out onto my face.


I'm sure I have more but that's all I can remember...  Is this normal, do you guys remember this kind of damage as a kid growing up?

Haha, wow... you had an interesting child hood.

The most epic memory of mine was when I was like 3 years old my brother was sitting on the little kid potty. I came into the bathroom with a bucket, filled it up with toilet water, and proceeded to dump it on his head : )

that's an intense childhood! i'd say that number three was my favorite though!!

Originally posted by RelyK I found a broken window outside the back of my house, so my best friend and I grabbed shards and started playing swords.. we gave them names like in thundercats and the result was 6 stitches in my palm.

Yikes... That must have been fun.

I never really got injured to bad when I was little. It was my two brothers that ended up in the hospital, I guess I was the lucky one.

I remember when I was like 8 my brother locked me out of the bedroom so I couldn't play nintendo. I was so pissed when he unlocked the door I threw a plastic crayon holder and it hit him in the head. He ended up getting stitches.

ahahahahahahahah thats hilarious, when you're old you'll appreciate the attention from the nurses in the old folks home giving you assistance to go the bathroom, and yes it will be funny then too.

I don't remember how old I was but

my second toe got caught in a bike chain, and chopped it off... and it was too long so they couldn't sew it back on... so my second toe is about half the size and without nails

don't ask me how painful it was.. cuz I don't remember, but I'm sure it wasn't fun

3 and 4 are classic.  I think you were just an ADHD suicide child, man.

I was a hyperactive but not particularly coordinated kid (which has led to me beng an hyperactive but not particularly coordinated adult).  When I was 2 or 3, I jumped on top of the sofa (not just the cushions, but the backrest part) and started doing a little jig.  I fell and smacked my head on the coffee table, my mom rushed me to ER.  Stitches above the left eyebrown, still have a scar-y patch there where hair won't grow.

Apparently another time I was running around in the bathroom, tripped, and hit my head on the corner.  More stitches in pretty much the same area.

I wasn't too bright as a kid.  I was super cute, though.

One more..

Those are some crazy stories...I don't think I ever had anything like that happen to me when I was younger

Crashed into a brick wall on my bike ,going full speed not paying attention~ I was waving at my Aunt Driving by, Broke my wrist and 4 fingers, Bent my front Wheel in Half was out of school for 2 weeks, my mom had to do my Homework it was awesome !!! 

hhaha these are great.  i was never that crazy ass a kid though.  i just remember being super clusmy, and breaking about everything in my house.  i wasn't even allowed to do the dishes because my parents got tired of stuff breaking. 

there was this one time where i was sitting in the car somewhere with my family.  i was looking at the car door and i noticed this little hook thing, and i pulled it, not knowing what it did.  my cousin then tried closing the door, and the door wouldn't close.  my dad was pissed, and ended up driving home with my cousin holding on to the door, hoping she wouldn't fall out.

Originally posted by ToXic*FloW Hahah this is a awesome thread. 1) When I was like 8, I was standing in the back of my dads truck. My little brother decided to hop into the drivers seat and put the gas to the floor. I Flew out of the box doing a backflip, Landed on the back of my head...It was bleeding all over the place. 2) I cant remember how old I was but, Me my friends and my little brother were running through the sprinkler. My little brother had a fondue stick for some reason and threw it on the grass. I slipped and fell on it, it stabbed through the bendy part of my leg. Haha, it was hard to get out because it had little hooks on it. 3) Me and a buddy were wrestling, and he asked if he could "pedigree" me. I guess Triple H or someone did it from WWE. So I let him haha. It consist of me putting my head in between his legs then he jumps up and drops to his knees ramming my head into the floor. I Broke my nose, Concussion, and My teeth went through my lip. 4) I was ripping through some Glades, and I had no space to stop but there was like a 30 foot drop coming. So I decided to grab the trees on my side to stop. It pulled back all 4 of my fingers, they were all broke haha. 5) I was doing backflips on a trampoline, and I over shot one. Flew off the tramp, landed on some metal and bruised all my ribs. Theres alot more but got stuff to do haha. Oh 1 more. This isnt pain related or anything just really funny. When I was like 3 years old my mom was in a store trying on clothes, so the person who worked there asked to "see it" as in the shirt or whatever she was trying on. But I took it a different way and pulled my pants down, to show her my you know what hahaha. My mom was just a little embarrassed haha.

There we go that's what I'm talking about, I knew there had to be some other rambunctious accident prone kids out there...

1. In junior kindergarten (k4) we were performing Cinderella. The day we were performing was one of the first times I got to get dressed by myself... and I forgot to put underwear on. We were all changing, and I cried...It was traumatic.

2. When I was 9 I went swimming at a lake with my friend and I spotted some turtles. I went to see if I could catch one and stepped down on a home-made anchor that was hidden under the murky water (milk jug filled with cement w/ metal blade coming out). Sliced my baby toe nearly off... idk how many stitches that was...

3. The following summer I was taking tennis lessons (like all the little suburban kids did) and we had a contest at the end of the day, who could pile the most tennis balls on their racket, I spotted a bunch across the courts and ran for them. To beat another kid I tried to jump over the net (like my instructor had done earlier that day). My foot caught the top of the net and I did a 3pt landing on my face. In&out of consciousness for almost 4 hours in the waiting room. Quality. Concussion and a broken nose.

4. We were learning about the weight room and lifting in middle school. The high school had an older Universal that had a sit-up incline (not very steady). I went to use it and started with a weight on my chest. My friend corey reached down to pick up a weight that was near my head and tapped the incline... it flipped. The weight I had landed on my pinky. 2 complete fractures in the end bone of my pinky finger, 18 stitches, aluminum foil in place so my nail (ripped out) would grow back, and a splint... and really fun pain meds.

5. In 2nd grade we were in the gymnastics unit of gym for the year. In usual form I tried to show off and show my class that I could do the splits and ripped my purple corduroy pants straight up the middle. I had to crab walk my way down the hall to the nurse so she called my mom to bring me pants.

6. In 4th grade I went to get a drink at the bubbler (drinking fountain) and this boy I liked was walking up to wait behind me... I got nervous and in my usual suave ways turned to greet him. The floor under the bubbler was really wet and in my turn I slipped, fell and smacked the back of my head on the edge of the drinking fountain. Got a big ol' egg on the back of my head for a few days. Smooth.

7. In the study/guest room at my house the couch was a pull out. For whatever reason the bed was out and I was on it watching TV. My older was goofing around crawling underneath it (I was proably 7 and he as 10) and stood up. The whole bed lifted and my  head slid back between the head and the back of the couch, within a split second (or so everyone recalls) he was starting to put it down, I screamed as my neck started to pinch and bend too far~ Dad walked by at that moment and grabbed it. Yelled at Adam. Helped me out. I had neck bruises for over a week and had to explain to my teacher what happened... they called and suspected abuse.

8. I was getting out of the pool after swim lesson when I was 7 or 8 ~ of course not using the ladder. I slipped and smacked my mouth on the edge. Cracked a big piece off my front tooth and split my lip. 3 stitches and some dental work.

9. During a soccer tournament when I was 12 I was faking to go around a defender and don't know how but her mouth met my eye and her braces slit my eyelid. 6 stitches and it looked like I had TERRIBLE purple eye makeup on for over a week.

10. When I was 12 I was helping my mom put the storm windows on the house in fall. She had me go up the ladder. One slipped. It landed on her head... 6 stitches in Ma's scalp.


...yeah, I know, most of mine are just because I'm a complete klutz.
Nerdskizzle

Remembered some:

1.  Finger broken playing tetherball trying to block a shot.

2.  The bottom part of a roman candle burnt off and something like lava oozed all over my wrist.  Melted the skin off my wrist.  Pretty good scar left.

3.  Ran face-on, full speed into a formal dining chair.  Bridge of my nose hit the top of the chair.

4.  Punctured the top of my head on a really sharp window frame.  I was about 5.  Grandma couldn't figure out why I didn't want to wet my hair.   You know, soap?!  Sting?!  Ouch!

I was just a klutz as a kid. One time at a birthday party we were playing tag and i tripped on the sidewalk and went flying, messed up both knees and both elbows. Took a while for those to heal. When I was 4 I slammed the front door on my big toe and ripped the nail off the bed.. that hurt. When I was at softball practice in 8th grade i was wearing some sandals before practice... headed over to the bench to put my cleats on, stepped over the bench caught the sandal and fell over the bench and scratched up both palms and me knees... again. The real horrible part was a guy that i had a crush on was there and saw the whole thing....... I have yet to break anything (knock on wood).

When I was 24 I was extremely drunk on the lake.  Went to pull the anchor in and pulled myself out of the boat instead and broke half my front tooth off when it hit the anchor I was attempting to pull in.  What can I say I am never going to grow up.

Growing up is for old people.
