Things I still wonder why the hell I did that as a kid...

When I was 13 I went to watch a play with my family and the performers asked if it was anyone's birthday, I put my hand up (no idea why it wasnt my birthday). My mother and 17yr old sister were looking at me and mouthing put your bloody hand down. Next thing the spot light was on me and everyone was singing happy birthday. I just sat there grinning.

And we once had to do a presentation about sea pollution in science. I wrote a song about oil spills killing guillemots and made my best friend sing it with me complete with flapping wing dance. We were about 14.

grr

"I ate a worksheet that I really didn't want to do once."

Innogen {grin]

Oh yes, I once wet myself on my friends drive because I was too nervous to ask to go to the loo. Then I ran off without saying anything and jumped in the river (in the park a minute or two walk away)- went back and pretended I was wet because of the river.

Did anybody else talk on those weird teen phone chat lines ? We used to do it regularly and then meet up with randoms .

And we think the internet is a scary place . Teens have always done dumb stuff .

I once wondered what would happen if I closed a stapler on my finger.

Blood. Lots and lots of blood.

I once sat on the edge of the stage in school and tried to pull my friend up. I fell 5 feet and landed on my chin.

Blood. Lots and lots of blood.

My friends and I once used one of the curtains at the side of the stage (you know the narrow ones?) as a swing, with a knot tied in it.

When it (inevitably) fell down we bundled it under a chair and ran like the wind.

At least there was no blood that time.

I used to have catchphrases I made up - they were never funny.i repeatedly dropped them into conversation hoping they would catch on

in junior school I held countless endless improvised puppet shows in class - (allowed by the teacher) where the whole class had to listen to my ramblings

I was only thinking this same thing the other day and wondering if other's did as many stupid things as I did.

I have done a few things but I would be totally outed as family and friends who know come on here too.

I REALLY really wanted a proper wig. Begged and begged, for a year, eventually got one for combined bday and Chrisymas present. It was a 'proper' ladies one but inevitably it looked shit on a 10 year old so I never wore it. No idea why I wanted one?!

Hilarious

I stabbed a brooch pin through my thumbnail to see if it would hurt. It did.

And in a drama class we were doing role play and I was asked to take notes. Except I didn't know if I was supposed to be really taking notes, or pretending to take notes, so I sat and pretended to write on a pad of paper for 40 minutes. And at the end the teacher wondered why I hadn't really written anything

cryin g wth laughter here

I ate a worksheet that I really didn't want to do once.

I pulled my knickers off in the corner of the playground :/ goodness knows why.

Also ate the cress that we grew in the classroom.

I shall now namechange..

Hahahaha that is the kind of thing I did.
I was at school in the evening once for a concert and had left my music in lower school (concett was in upper school ) so had to walk yhrouh the pitch black dining hall to get it and my music teacher was coming the other way but I didn't realise it was him and screamed and only thanks to his quick reactions did he miss getting hit with my flute case.
I still think about that and wonder why I didn't switch the lights on (I know know really I wss scared of yhe caretaker and didn't want to get told off)

I once wondered what it would be like to use a pencil sharpener on my little finger - quite painful as it turned out.

I also had an English project where we had to write a story about a pirate and some islands, and I named all the islands things like 'Dikless Island' and 'Fukker Island' somehow thinking the teacher would never notice. I got a weeks worth of detention for that.

I could actually go on forever about ridiculous things I did in school that make no sense at all
