Daft but harmless things your kids have done (lighthearted)

[missintolerance]

I’ll start.

my 21yr old DS and his friends accidentally popped a bean bag outside on the lawn (I suspect alcohol was involved). Beans everywhere apparently. DS thought it be a really good idea to vacuum the beans up and spent 2 hrs vacuuming the lawn with my brand new vacuum. Vacuum now blocked with grass, leaves, twigs and polystyrene beans. Goodness only knows what the neighbours thought watching idiot DS vacuuming the lawn.

tell me you stories of daft but harmless things your kids have done.

Mine made an art gallery by gluing their pictures to the windows using prit stick..... they couldn't find any blue tac....

Spilt a drink in the back seat while we were driving on the motorway, because I was concentrating on driving, told him to grab some tissues out my handbag to clean up. When we got to our destination realised he'd used sanitary towels to mop it up and then stuck them to his window for the world to see. Wouldn't mind but DS was 10 at the time so definitely knews the difference between always and kleenex

Not my kids, but when I was around 17/18 my mum went away for a week. I spilt milk on the carpet and wiped it over, not realising it needed properly cleaning. The smell became horrendous, I ended up having some friends round, getting drunk and cutting the patch of carpet out and trying to infill it with a bit from the garage.
We laugh about it now

When I was small, I wanted to create a swimming pool in my bedroom so I started filling cups of water and tipping them directly on the (wooden) floor. I think I got about 6 cups worth before my mum found out and explained why it wouldn't work 😂

DS aged 2 tried to escape through the cat flap. He got his head and one shoulder through and got stuck. I had to cut it apart to get him out.

Had a call from my teenager , who'd just been told off by the fire brigade who were called to the house ( I was at home , teenager at friends house . )
Her and her mates had thought it would be a great idea to make a cheese toastie by laying the toaster on its side and popping cheese sandwiches in to make a toastie .
It caught fire , and they called 999 .
Thankfully the kitchen didn't burn , just the toaster .

I left the room earlier for 2 minutes, during which time I heard my 13 year old tell my 5 year old to stop sprinkling glitter on the cat. So then I had to bath the cat and now now look like a had a fight with a cactus.

My then 7 year old dd1 decided they needed a mat for their Barbie dolls and told 5 year old dd2 that her fringe would be perfect!! Rushed her to the hairdressers but there wasn't much they could do and it was school photos the next day.

Dd1 was about 17 when she accidentally walked out of Primark still carrying a basket of stuff. She'd walked down most of the high street before she realised & then had to try & get back in without being seen 😅
