Share the funny, mischievous things either you or your child used to get up to when you/they were little - £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[EllieMumsnet]

A big part of being a child is all about being adventurous, whether that means your DC has tried to wander around in your size 8 heels for a good hour before realising they don’t fit quite right or even potter in with muddy shoes from playing outside all day. With Peter Rabbit coming to cinemas March 16, we’ve teamed up with Sony Pictures to hear about the funny, mischievous things either you or your DC has done when you/they were little.

“In Peter Rabbit™, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers now takes on the starring role of his own contemporary comedy. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as their fight to gain control of McGregor’s coveted vegetable garden and the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne) extends to the Lake District and London. James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail.”

Watch the Peter Rabbit trailer here:

Did your DC decide to have a go at cutting their own hair? Maybe you got caught giving your toys a wash in the toilet? Perhaps you’re always trying to find the TV remote that keeps going missing and turning up in strange places such as the fridge? Or did you ever rummage through your mum’s makeup bag and use every product on your face?

Whatever your humorous, mischievous stories are, share them with us on the thread below and you will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a £300 voucher of your choice (from a list).


Thanks and good luck

This sounds like more of a horror story...
When my daughter was transitioning from nappies to pants she loved being really helpful and taking her nappy off herself when you were helping her to the toilet

One morning, when she woke much earlier than us she decided to do this little trick. The problem is that she had a massive explosive poop in that nappy. Trying to be helpful, she tried to clean herself up. Clean herself with her toys. Clean herself with her clothes...we walked in on her trying to wipe her bum with a beach ball....

A fox killed 3 of the kids pet rabbits so one day i looked out the window to see them playing in some big cardboard boxes, what i didnt know until I went out to ask them if it was a castle was they had emptied my freezer of mince meat, burgers, chips etc (about £80 worth of frozen food) and had opened it all and put it on the mud and were balancing the boxes so when the fox come to get the food they could trap it into the box. I asked them what they planned to do with the fox and they said "we were going to shout at him and make him apologise by giving fluffy (their other rabbit) a kiss to say sorry for taking her friends away to eat" I didn't know whether to laugh at their cunningness, cry over the wasted food or cry over their sadness of losing their pets as they knew foxes killed to be eat no matter how much i tried to convince them the fox had helped them escape to go exploring with him

Jeez think my 3 have done it all! From hair cutting to drawing/colouring in the newly decorated walls, When my now 17 yr old was about 7 he hated a particular zip up hoodie i bought him so decided to stuff it down the toilet and poop on it he said "just making sure you have to bin it." My now 3 yr old has an obsession with telling strangers "i'm watching you" while doing the whole hand movements to go with it, My middle son had a mop of gorgeous black hair which he decided to 'brush' with his dad's electric razer straight down the middle couldn't even try and salvage that one

My ds was very talkative from a young age & used to, in his innocence, find ways to embarrass me...

Like the time it was my turn to sit on the toilet as we shared a cubicle in the busy ladies of a large department store; he very loudly reminded me to "make sure you're pointing down, Mummy"..

Or when our washing machine was being repaired at a time when my son would often 'drop' certain sounds from his speech. Whilst the man was busy working on the machine, my son said "See, Mummy, that man doesn't say his all his sounds either." Poor guy: he suddenly became the most well-spoken washing machine engineer I've ever met..!

I wrote my brother's name on the wall behind the sofa. My mum knew it was me as he could spell his name correctly and I couldn't!

[Cosmia]

My DS very kindly took our elderly neighbour a bunch of daffodils to cheer her up as she had been unwell. Unfortunately he picked them from her front garden and had left nothing but stalks.....

Every time I go into my daughters room, a little bit more of her Peppa Pig wallpaper has been torn off. Apparently , she has no idea who is peeling the wallpaper off and it was a bit of a mystery as to where the wallpaper was going, until a recent search under her bed revealed a stash of peeled off paper in an old lunchbox!

One day my younger brother and I were bored and found some raffle tickets. We decided to ask our neighbours to buy some and make ourselves some cash.

Quite a few of our neighbours down the lane purchased several tickets, and when we returned home counted up the money. Unfortunately my conscience kicked in, I realised we had done wrong and told our mum.

She was absolutely annoyed and insisted we return all the money to the neighbours. We were too scared and our older brother had to do it.

We never lived it down.

I remember eating my mum's contact lenses when I was little. It was in the days before disposables and they were very expensive. I can clearly remember the look of horror on my mum's face and the sensation of chewing the lenses..oops!
I also drew on the walls and blamed it on the cat.

I was at my grandmas house once who also happened to be an artist and decided to paint a thick layer of black oil paint across the screen of her new tv. Also once shaved off my eyebrows as they joined in the middle but then panicked and said someone had done it to me at school, and only fessed up when I was being frog marched down to the school by my Mum who was ready to tear strips off the head master.

Poured cornflakes into the waste disposal to hear the scrunching sound. I still don't know if I was in trouble for wasting the cornflakes or playing with the waste disposal.

Our littlest loveable characters from books and TV and she also loves art. Our textured wall paper in the living room now has life size drawings of characters including, you’ve guessed it, Peter Rabbit, along with the big bad mouse :-)

[Amirite]

I made two pigtails in my hair, grabbed some scissors and just cut one of them off! There are some cracking pictures of me with an awful Afro after my poor mum tried to sort it!

My little boy who loves peter rabbit has a habit of finding any treats like sweets or chocolates and hiding them amongst his toys and in his bed. He then disappears to ‘play’ and we find many empty wrappers!!

[Sj10]

My eldest two also once whilst at grandmas decided to run themselves a bath and give each other a haircut!! I was not happy with the MIL

[AVT5]

id find my make up in my daughters vanity table draw!

I tried to eat various things when I was young. Mum was always stopping me from making holes in the wall because I ate the plaster. I tried coal, worms, worst of all I loved the taste of asprins & mum had to hide them. Whenever we were given porridge for breakfast, I always turned the bowl upside down on my head and my brother use to shout. "Mummy, Mummy Catherines got here pudding hat on again".Don't know why I use to do that!

My son would dance around singing ‘she’s so lovely’ Got a great video of that in fact.

When I was six I took my mum’s tennis racquet and decided to be a lolly pop lady on our (thankfully quiet/residential) street. Obviously this was phenomenally dangerous and stupid, but I enjoyed myself randomly stopping traffic all afternoon, despite a lot of beeping!

I thought I’d gotten away with it too until my mum went to the corner shop later that day and got the full story from the horrified shop owner. I was in big, big trouble!

Just today, my daughter was having a blue hair day courtesy of her brother and some ink pads.

When I was younger my mum used to collect expensive porcelain busts, I took a particular liking to one and decided to teach her to do gambols..... her head broke off mid roll 😳 to this day I still don't think she's fully forgiven me!

[Strawberry2017]

My little one is only 12 weeks old but she gets the biggest smile on her face when she has done a poo that has gone everywhere!
It's like she's laughing as she knows how disgusting it's going to be cleaning it up.
It is usually all up her back, front and down her legs.
I think she will just become more mischievous as she gets older.

Definitely the time that a friend came around and I hadn't realised that my toddler was engrossed in playing with a box of panty liners

[Sugarhouse]

My dad hated black currant cordial so me and my sister used to tip it in his larger when he wasn't looking
