Stupid things you did as a child?

[twistedshadows]

I was wondering what kinds of dumb things other people did as babies/toddlers/small children.

These all happened before I was four:
I stuck a metal key in an electrical socket and electrocuted myself, I fell off the top of a jungle gym and had to get stitches, I cut off the majority of my hair with safety scissors (I looked like a boy for a while there), I stuck some foam from my car seat up my nose where it got stuck (my mom didn't notice for a week until it started to smell funny - I had to go to the doctor to get it removed), I picked up a piece of cactus thinking it was a ball and had to have all the stickers removed, and I also apparently ate deodorant, though I luckily wasn't poisoned as I immediately threw it back up.

Sorry if this has been done before, I didn't see it in my search. Feel free to enlighten me if you must.

I swallowed at least $1.25 worth of change and nearly ate a spark plug before I was six. I also drank straight from the toilet. With a bendy straw.

When I was four, I climbed to the top of a seven foot ladder and fell off, hitting concrete.

What do I win?

No, it just explains a lot. XD
I think the jungle gym I fell off of was 6 or 7 feet tall.
Let's call it a tie.
(Except you didn't electrocute yourself.)

I was riding my trike at about the age of 2 in the hills of the city zoo. My dad had a rope fastened to the rear of the trike to stop me from raping myself on passerby. However, he somehow let go right as we neared the apex of the hill. I just kept biking. Momentum carried me into the brick wall of one of the public washrooms; broke every tooth that had been formed and two ribs. Otherwise, was fine.

A story I remember with pride. Oh, and this other time, I thought that algae was grass and jumped in it, only to nearly drown in the seven feet of water. I was about 10. Don't judge me.

I have a scar that starts at the top of my forehead and extends across my scalp in a straight line.

I don't remember how I got it. I was told that I ran into a wall when I was a toddler...

I fell off a climbing frame and broke my collar bone.

Also, ran into four or five glass doors and had three or four concussions as a kid.

I never did anything like that as a child, I was what you might call, a smart child...

You just reminded me of another incident. I don't remember this, but my parents told me about this one: Apparently, during my first trip to the zoo, right before we left, I walked up to a stone wall, stopped, headbutted it with all my might, and walked back over to the family. They still have no clue why I did it, and neither do I, but apparently I left a sizable dent in the stone.

oh, yea i also stuck a skittle up my nose when i was six because i wondered what would happen... i now know it gets stuck, almost had to go to the hospital to get it removed...

Mine isn't as extreme but it was still pretty funny, When I was about 3 or 4 I was the flower girl for my parents wedding, and I decided to give myself a "little" hair cut right before going down the isle, my mom was freaking out because I had a decent sized bald spot toward the front of my head.

Other than that, I didn't really do much as a kid, My brother took care of that for me.

 

[ironmace2.0]

Well this is the only one that comes to mind.

I was going on my bike down a lane with my brother, he said look at that and points up, I look up.Then I go down a hill lose control and hit my head on a van. Yep needed a little stich up.

Well, at least it was a bendy straw.

I fell off a climbing frame and broke my collar bone.

Also, ran into four or five glass doors and had three or four concussions as a kid.

Okay, okay, we're tied.

Aww, we were all smart too... In our own way...

-Stood on top of the toilet and fell through the (rather flimsy) lid, spent three days drying out my sneakers.
-Tried to pat a swan and fell into the lake at the botanical gardens.
-At the same botanical gardens a few years later on a school excursion, chased some ducklings to catch one and take it home. Got chased and bitten multiple times by the mother duck.
-Ate snails because my brother said to, got told not to, ate dry cat food because my brother said to, got told not to, all within about twenty minutes at kindergarten.
-During my first year of primary school climbed the fence and sat right beside a bee nest, picking enormous caterpillars off of the leaves of a tree and throwing them at my friends.
-Also in my first year of primary, bit a sixth grade girl on the wrist because I didn't want to answer a question she asked, but wanted to respond in some way.
-Sat right next to a bullant nest and got three bites.
-Tripped over backwards and fell through a window.
-Knelt on a skateboard and tried to go down a rather steep hill, breaking my two front teeth.
-Deliberately scared my brother into jumping through a wall, not realising it cost money to repair.
-Tried balancing along a low garden wall, saw a patch of moss and wondered if it was slimy or not, jumped on it, slipped and got stitches in my forehead.

I'm pretty sure I was under ten years old during all of these.

oh, yea i also stuck a skittle up my nose when i was six because i wondered what would happen... i now know it gets stuck, almost had to go to the hospital to get it removed...

I did that with a remote control button, only I was like 11 and I did go to the ER to have it removed, I remember feeling like a jackass in front of all the genuinely sick children there.

 

[katsabas]

Licked my room lamp and got burned. Ate pencils and erasers and jumped from a 5 meters high oak. Still alive though.
