Tell us something awful you did as a kid.

[Friedchickenrocks]

Aged about 8 our grandad was staying with us and I hid his glasses. Nobody thought it was me but he knew. He was literally almost blind for a week and even went poking with his walking stick down the loo. "I know it's her. I just know it, little bitch" Eventually they magically re-appeared on the sideboard. I never did own up and my mum never thought it could possibly be her blue eyed girl.

Not me (honest) but someone I know used to give her dog space dust

We had a little alcove behind our front door, I pissed in the alcove because I couldn't be bothered to go to the loo. I was old enough to know better at 24!

Jokes, I was about 5.

Aged 5 or 6, went looking for slow worms, lifted up a bit of galvanise and there was a mice nest under it, i stuck my hand in and out came mummy mouse hanging onto my thumb, i shook it off and without thinking, threw a stone at it, direct hit.

55 years on and it still bothers me that i killed the mum and all her babies.

Me and my brother used to hide fruit in the inside of my Nans cushion covers when we went to visit. No idea why kids so such silly things 😅

We used to sneak around neighbours' gardens in the evening when it got dark. At first the aim was to get through gardens without getting caught but then we stepped it up to include moving things between the gardens like gnomes and those little ornaments such as wishing wells, wheelbarrows and so on.

I'm pretty sure the neighbours worked out what was going on but nobody said anything until one day we went too far - we created a small tableaux involving an outsize frog mounting a smaller stone dog while one of the gnomes got involved somewhere behind. and fairies on the periphery behaved in an unladylike way.

We got in loads of trouble with parents threatening to march us to the police station etc so had to stop for a bit, then we just never really did it again.

Our mum used to call her the lady of the house in a Hyacinth Bucket voice. Anyone new she latches onto who gets a grand tour.🤣🤣🤣 Until the mask slips and they see what she's really like.

1. convinced my chocaholic younger brother who was about 6 at the time that a jar of English mustard was infact a new special kind of chocolate spread and watched him take a giant spoonful of mustard and happily shovel it into his mouth. I can still see the way his face scrunched when the burn hit. I was 10 at the time and I don't think I ever laughed so hard.

2. I was a greedy bugger as a child. Tubby and constantly hungry I was always sneakily snaffling goodies from the cupboard. One particular spring morning I decided to pinch a couple of custard creams from mom's stash and ran up the garden to hide the fact I'd pinched them. I was barefoot and as I shovelled these biscuits into my mouth I stubbed my toe on the corner of the brick surrounding the garden pond. I ran back into the house wailing whilst these half chewed biscuits came tumbling from my mouth... busted. I was highly offended my mom took one look at me blubbing with these biscuits falling from my mouth as I hopped around on one foot and doubled over laughing.

I also used to change the time on my Nans clock randomly to something completely different every few days 😖

I had space dust last week and knocked it off the side of the sofa, some went on the floor and my smallest dog (who frankly needs an ASBO as she's so mental) yummed it up

I would say she looked surprised but she bloody loved it and tried to get the packet off me

😅😅😅 at this one!

Stole aunts cigarettes
Stole pounds from my mum
Used to kill flying ants for no reason

Once when I was about 8, I was playing in my grandparents' very large garden. I couldn't be bothered to walk back to the house to go to the toilet, so I pissed on their lawn. My grandma caught me and was really cross.

I taught my younger sister and cousin swear words, which they would repeat in front of the grandparents. I'd get the blame (and rightly so), but I also used to get the blame for my cousin's lavatorial sense of humour and tendency to want to play rude games - and that wasn't fair!

Snooping through people's bathroom cabinets when visiting friends' houses.

One long summer evening, I persuaded my sister to 'run away'. This was in the 80s and it was normal to wander around the neighbourhood without an adult (we were both under 10). We stayed away for ages, until it started to get dark. My mum was going crazy with worry, and went out looking for us in the car. She arrived back to find us wandering up a hill, pushing our bikes like nothing had happened.

Live in a seaside town.

Used to drop vanilla icecream on tourists from bedroom window so they thought they'd been shit on by a seagull.

Used to put 2ps on the ground with with superglue on upwards face up so it would stick to their fingers - then watch from a distance

god we were bored before the megadrive came along

Aww That is quite innocent and sweet actually

Unravelled the end of my mum's best sari when I was sent to sit in a corner for being bad. Blamed mice.

What is space dust?

Went into my uncle’s coat pocket whilst he was visiting and stole his cigarettes and binned them. I hated him smoking because I knew how harmful they were and was hoping he’d quit! Would’ve been in primary school.

That sweet stuff that fizzes and pops on your tongue. I'm guessing it's chiefly sugar, flavouring, colouring and bicarbonate of soda? Probably banned now. 😅

You used to be able to buy joke kits which included those little strips that make Christmas crackers go "bang", to put in some poor unsuspecting sod's cigarettes. I put one in one of my mum's cigs once, didn't half make her jump when she lit it. 😅

We were playing dares as kids in the street and I was dared to take all the underwear off our line and put it on the next door neighbour's. My mum was mortified when the woman came to the door very puzzled with a pile of her knickers and bras

I rang a company who did demonstrations of vending machines and asked for a demo, giving my friend's name and address.

I also would ring free phone numbers of companies and ask for catalogues to be sent out, again giving names and addresses of various friends.

Our friend had a dog and for some reason if you said "kill" it went beserk. I used to deliberately say words like "hill" or "bill" to innocently set it off.

There was a competition on in the garden centre and me and a friend opened up the box, took all the competition entries out and hid them under the aisles. Then we filled in a lot of forms hoping we’d win the prize. Never heard anything😬

It's also called popping candy, one make is Fizz Wizz.

We also made a huge mess in the school bathroom after a club one evening by squirting all the soap from the dispenser onto the floor and then ‘ice skating’ through the slippery mess. Feel so sorry for who cleaned it up🙈

There was a boy who called me horrible names in primary for years, then fancied me and started hanging off my every word.
I convinced him bored one day in drama that all heating vents opened into wide corridors you could crawl in, like in movies. I suggested we could escape the lesson together.
Lifted the vent off and gave him a leg up. Told him to squeeze through the first narrow bit. Gave a helpful push.
Took both caretakers and the headteacher to get him out pulling on his feet and squeezing him.
He got very told off and no one believed him I’d been involved as I was good
