Things you got away with as a child..

i got away with most things..i had those hippy parents that thought we learned through any experience we had...so..pretty much..we were on our own....<it sounds better then it was>
 
I never got away with squat, I still swear to this day mom had some sort of tracer on me.

Although when I was in the corner grocer I sused to pee on the wagon wheel of the potato stand and the grocer would give me an onion as a reward, which i usually ate right there raw.

Oh! SO you got to run naked all the time! Do you wear clothes now? Hmmm?

LOL

:kiss:

one of my main rules....

if you're home...be naked!!!!!!!
 
That just brought to mind... Running about in the rain (in my bathing suit!) and sliding around in the mud with my friends. Which would always lead to a mudfight. :)

They used to let me stay up late sometimes, watching Nick at Night. My little eyelids would be drooping, but I wasn't tired!

When one of my Grandpa's undershirts had a hole in it, my cousins and I were allowed to rip it to shreds. Under orders of my Grandma of course. :D

MY feeling exactly!

Todd, you got onions for peeing in public and you considered it a reward? You need love my friend. Lots and lots of LL lovin'!

Yes I do need some LL luving.

How do tyou think I got this screws up?
 
i got away with pretty much everything. my parents were always way too busy trying to control my sister and make sure she wasnt beign bad.

some of what i got away with... taking my sister's things without asking, going to the park (and just about anywhere else) without asking, shoplifting (once i swear.. and i've never done it again either.. and i took a little clip thing on accident.. but its still shoplifting), denting the car, hitting the car on the garage, going out with my friends every day instead of doing homework
 
Let's see . . .

Super strict parents,
I'm the oldest,
Small town

Got away with . . . .
NOTHING!
 
I've always been fascinated with nature, and as a child, this fascination manifested in collecting things. Leaves and flowers weren't a problem. Snakes? Well, I got away with it because usually they got loose in the house before anyone actually saw me with them. Then there was the time I thought those spider eggsacs were pretty. They looked nice on my desk in my bedroom. Then they hatched. Thousands upon thousands of baby spiders all over the place. My reasoning was that there had to be enough snakes hiding in the drywall by now to take care of most of them, but mom and dad were not impressed.

Still, I didn't really get in trouble for it, because I was showing an interest in learning.

Oh yes, and frogs. Many frogs. Our house resembled an amphibian/reptile refuge for awhile.

I won't even get into my brief stint in taxidermy. It's really a wonder they didn't put me up for adoption.

We never had a problem with mice, though...
 
Well we got away with many things

My sister and I could run around in our panties ... we had no neighbors for miles & it was hot during the summer.

I got away from having my hair brushed , I just ran away from my mom and hid. :D

Eating dirt ... it was good !! :)
 
Pointing out that people farted in public.

Making my belly button talk.

and

sitting all day in a cardboard box.
 
For family dinners at Grandma's house, I'd sit right next to Grandma at the kitchen table. My parents never had a clue that I didn't eat much of the food on my plate. All the stuff I didn't like, Grandma sneaked away from my plate to her own and she ate it for me. Grandma was dead and gone and I was in my 30's before I told my parents that secret. Now my mom has started to do the same thing for my niece. She just thinks I haven't noticed her sneaking that food away... :)
 
When my dad was at work my mom let me get away with everything! When he was home, I got away with nothing!
 
I was a very bad boy.

I once stole may parents car.

Got into it...released the break and the car rolled down our driveway in reverse
I managed to make a turn and slowly went about 50 yards down my block where I managed another turn and the car came to a slow halt hitting the sidwwalk curb.

I wanted to buy gum.

I was like six or seven.

I DID NOT get away with it.

The second time i did it I ran over the cross the street neighbors fence.
 
We had some favorite cousins visiting, and I didn't want them to leave. The evening before they were to go, I sneaked outside and let the air out of all four of Unkle Orvile's tires. That Night he came around and tuck me in and told me that I was a very good boy. I didn't sleep a wink, because I knew that he would find out in the morning.

In the cold clear light of day, and the deed was discovered, he made a point of taking me aside and telling me that I was still a good boy...I just did a bad thing. Still my favorite Unckle.

I probably got away with a lot, though it didn't seem like it at the time.

We used to play tag on the roof of the house

Sneak out at night to catch lightning bugs for night lights

Jump our dirt bikes off of ramps and see how many neighborhood children we could convinve it was safe to lay on the ground in front of the ramp

Neighbors of ours had a really cool swingset thing in their back yard, but the kids were really dorky... so we'd lock them out of their yard and play on their swingset

Unwrapping every christmas present one year to see what we got and then rewrapping them

Wiring D cell batteries to my Stomper trucks... they'd go REALLY fast across the livingroom and then go up in a puff of smoke

Once, I found a box of 'flavored massage oil' under my parent's bed. I poured it all out and replaced it with plain water and food coloring and put the bottles in my room. I thought they were so pretty

Stealing my step-dad's Jack Daniel's out of the garage and convining him that he must have already consumed it all

I fed my sister's guppies to my crawdad, and once, I gave away her kitten to a neighbor

I was such a shit.
 
I wrecked my car while I was somewhere my parents didn't know I was. I was supposed to be home already, but was out getting mine and my sister's pictures done for a Mother's Day present. When she got them, I got away with wrecking the car.
 
Two of my best childhood friends had go-carts, They had chainsaw motors on them and were very fast, We would run them through the neighborhood while our parents were at work, It didnt take long for the Police to arrive, We always knew they were coming because they had their sirens going. As soon as we knew they were a block or so away we would hide in my parents garage with the door closed. We were never caught, although Im pretty sure the police knew who was using the streets as private race track. Blowing up model cars was also popular, Cover them in lighter fluid and then light a firecracker, the firecracker would explode setting the car on fire. Cheap thrills indeed. When I got my drivers license, I would take my parents car, remove the aircleaner, and run the hell out of it! The sound of the air being sucked into the carburator was so cool. If my father had found out he would have probably beat the crap out of me!Just a few examples of my childhood stupidity.:D
 
Things I got away with as a child? Bah! I was raised by two teachers.

The only thing I really got away with was just plain being an impractical denizen of my own little world. And I'm still a complete space cadet. It pisses my sister off so much....

For instance, I've taught myself character animation in about the last six months, on my own, and I'm now probably the best animator at my school -- a sizable east coast art college. On the other hand, I need to fill out my FAFSA for next year, and I don't know what happened to my tax info. I know I didn't photocopy my forms before mailing them in, but I'm really not sure what's happened to the booklet, my W2s, and the letter from the IRS detailing the mistakes I made, which they noticed and corrected in my favor. Did I throw them away, somehow? Did I leave them at home in Maine? My memory is completely blank on this.

This sort of thing happens to me about 2 or 3 times a year. I suddenly need something again and it's disappeared. Last year it was a tripod. Now I'm missing the above, and I can't seem to find one of my textbooks. Earlier today, I thought I'd lost my wallet. Fuck monkeys-

You country gals are wild...
 
Things I got away with as a Child.

Hmm, I am going to define child as being under 18.

1. Smoking a lot of pot.
2. Sneaking a lot of booze from my parents.
3. Spying with my telescope on the neighbor girl who was 2 years older than me. God that was fun:)
