When kids are young they get the wildest ideas. They think they can fly, or that they’re a horse, or that it’s a good idea to walk the dog with roller blades on. Kids kind of think they’re invincible.
As a result, kids do some pretty dumb things. As much as you might not want to admit it. You’ve probably done dumb things too when you were young. In fact, you might have even done some of the dumb things on this list.
Bobsled down the stairs on a piece of cardboard anyone? These experiences all teach us lessons. Like not to sled down the stairs on cardboard.
Here are 40 dumb things people remember doing when they were young:
Everyone had laser pointers when they first came out as a toy. It can supposedly do real damage to your eye if you shine one in your eye. So, of course, that’s what kids did.
Every kid has done this at the pool at some point. We were so sure that it would work. It never did.
Gel pens were all the rage when they came out. And watching them run out was devestating. But I never thought to put them in the microwave.
Kids take things literally. This poor kid. That’s so sad!
5) Glasses in the Microwave
Kids put a lot of stuff in the microwave. And it never ends well. Dad must have been pretty heated.
Everyone know that you should never mix different kinds of alcohol of beverages. It’s just asking for trouble and the hangover of a lifetime. Well, everyone except teenagers. They learn the hardway.
That is pretty scary. I wonder how long it took for his family to find him. He must have been terrified.
This kid’s parents must have flipped. That’s a lot of dead fish. Sweet that the kid just wanted to help though.
That poor cat. He probably had not idea what the heck was going on. I love how mom suspected nothing.
This is wholesome AF. I always couldn’t wait for Seasame Street to come on. I wasn’t clever enough to try and do this as a child.
Kids can be so mean. And the results can be distasterous. My cousin made fun of my sideburns so I shaved them. They grew back crazy.
Oh my gosh! That must have been horrifying for mom. I’m surprised the skunk came in and wasn’t scared off by people.
This kid decided that she needed to do a little redecorating. She faniced herself a interior decorator. Her career dream didn’t quite work out.
Ewwwwwwwwww. Ewwwwwwwww. Ewwwwwwwwww!
You hear of kids making mud pies. But you never hear of them eating. Well, you live you learn I guess!
I don’t know why, but this is exceptionally hilarious to me. That kid was pretty proud of her mashed butter.
Goldfish don’t get headaches. Well, maybe the do. But you can’t give them asprin.
Wow, that’s pretty big. Thank goodness this kid didn’t get electrocuted. That kid was probably shook thinking he was going to get into so much trouble.
How can you say no to a 3-year-old that loves to read. You can’t. That’s why that old lady didn’t get her laundry done.
Lots of kids stick things up their nose. But this kid’s parents seemed to have quite a rough go of things when she was 5. They must have been exhausted.
This kid must have been real hard headed. Those early 2000 TVs were freaking huge. That’s pretty amazing.
Damn, that’s a perfectly good waste of a Sonic Grilled Cheese Deluxe. And a microwave. That’s an honest mistake though.
These parents must have been enraged. One of the first times when a parent needs to call in the teacher instead of the other way around. Teacher had some explaining to do.
This kid took a turd bath. At least the kid didn’t play with the turd like it was a shark. Eddie Murphy style.
That’s a pretty bold move. Especially for third grade love. Dude didn’t even acknowledgement, just a Band-Aid.
The germs. So many germs. I wonder if that mom ended up a little traumatized.
This kid even heard everyone calling her name and ignored them. She needed an alone time nap. At least they found her.
Not sure this kid was ready for preschool. Sounds like the kid was still in its toddler run around naked phase. Or the kid was just sick of clothes.
This kid believed he could fly. But he was wrong. He didn’t even try using cardboard wings or anything.
This kid must have been terrified. I want to know how this story ended though. She made it out somehow. Unless she’s Tweeting from inside the dryer.
This is another kid who is lucky they didn’t die from electrocution. I wonder if it worked thought. No… right?
Thank God that the neighbors saw these kids. They might not still be here otherwise. This is why parents stopped letting their kids go outside to play. They got too damn wild.
I love how kids are such weirdos and want to be alligators. I bet mom wasn’t expecting this though. Explaining this story to grandma and grandpa must have been interesting.
Every kids plays with something they’re not supposed to. And sometimes that thing is poop. In this case, rabbit poop.
Wait a minute. Did she mean 6? She had to mean 6.
It’s one thing to eat grass. It’s another thing to eat pesticide grass. That’s just nasty. And dangerous.
There’s a lot of kids who would start a fire over some candy. I mean, it’s candy. But ceiling high flames is next level.
If you had roller blades as a kid, you probably did something stupid with them. But this kid was determined. Why didn’t she let go?
That’s makes me a little nauseous. I feel like the texture of eating lipstick would be nastier than the actual taste. I’ll have to ask this kid.
That is such kid logic. Trying to make things better and making things worse. Can you get grape juice out of a pillow? Probably not.
