Hey mom, guess what I did.

This is mainly for the members who no longer live with there parents. Does anyone else enjoy telling there parents the things they got away with when they were younger?

I enjoy telling my mom some of the things she didn't know I did while I was living there, sneaking out the house, accidently setting my trash can on fire when I was 13... etc.

I love seeing her face when she realises some of the shit I got away with. Those things you wanted to brag about when you were a kid, but couldn't for fear of getting grounded. :)

I have fun with this, too, although I confess I dread to hear some of my son's stories in a few more years. I know there are some!

I just told my mom last year about the time nearly 30 years ago when I spent the night with my friend Karen across town and how, instead of sleeping soundly in our beds, we got dressed to the nines, drove 45 minutes to downtown Dallas, and got into the most sophisticated private disco from that era (you were supposed to be 21 to get in; I was barely 16 and she 17) and danced and drank happily with God knows who for hours and hours, then drove back home to Karen's house, far too drunk to have driven safely, and sneaked back in at 4:45 in the morning. We had a ball!

I still haven't gotten the nerve to tell my mom about the long weekend the next summer when I told my parents I was spending those three days with my first serious boyfriend and his family at their lake house. We told his parents we decided we'd rather stay in town at my house so we could spend the weekend in air-conditioned comfort and just relax. Where we actually went was his empty house on the other side of town, where we ordered pizza, had major amounts of teenage sex, drank whatever we wanted, and just generally had a three-day honeymoon in complete privacy. It was great.

These were the reasons I always checked and confirmed my own son's plans with other involved parents when he was going to be out of my custody for any significant length of time. He'll probably read this before long and know why I didn't trust him! Because I myself was such a sneaky little devil.

No, but I think I'll do that once I finish college. Parents always try to stop you but no matter how hard they try it's pretty easy to figure out ways to slip through the cracks.

i do this all the time. my dad has a stamp that looks like his signature that i stole, and i use it all the time. i told him about it last week. he thinks i lost it though.

i still live with my grandparents... but when i got to old to 'punish' i came out with alot of stories when i was drunk one night lol...

shoulda seen her face when i told her i stole my grandpa's truck all the time to go joy riding in the middle of the night....

My moms generally laid back, unless I'm doing something I really shouldn't be doing..which is hardly ever :o
If she asks, I tell her.
"Did you really just play xbox at your friends?"
"No there was a party, but we also played xbox." yada yada

oopps sorry I used to use the marihemp boards a long time ago. wasn't aware of that policy.

I'm not sure how to PM you back (this new schematic is a lot more advanced than marihemps).

You can delete the message if need be, the topic just sparked that memory and the most natural way to remember it was to type it out.

i was quite baked on some good diesel also.

even when i was young, i thought my parents suspected the sort of trouble i was getting into. i just figured that since they didn't have any proof they weren't going to press the matter. it wasn't until many years later that i found out they didn't have a clue what i had been into. i really have no desire to let them know how blind they were and i sure as hell don't feel like bragging about the kind of shit i was doing back then.

I will though...I remember I told my aunt a couple months ago that my cousin and I put her youngest daughter in the dryer for about 30 seconds running. All we heard were THUMP, THUMP, THUMP...that was a few years back when I was 10 that we did this and as far as I know she dosen't have brain damage. LOL. She does have 4 kids though.

I just told my parents this one a few years back...that I was the one that pushed my sister in the fire ant pile and she had bites all the way up to her chest. If anyone has fire ants where you live you can understand how BIG those ant piles get..that wasnt very nice of me.

I did also get caught with a lot of stuff too...

forged report cards, fighting, vandalism and generally any other thing that is unsafe to the public and myself.

Lol story of my high school life

I told my parent about how I use to sneaking out of the house all the time. I thought they knew the whole time and was surprised they had no clue. Thats about all, the rest of the stuff they do not need to know.

Yeah... I'm 30 now, and I enjoy telling my mom "war stories" from my mis-spent youth. In exchange, she has been telling me stories about her youth... I think she gave her parents a harder time than I gave her! Yeah... I've drank, and used drugs, and skipped school, and would sneek in my girl-friend at all hours of the night and stuff... But I've never stole my rich friend's speedboat for a joyride, got drunk and crashed my brothers car, or have to get "bailed out" of jail at 4am, for drinking underage, and beating the shit out of some guy in the bar. I think I was just better at "not getting caught" than she was... LOL!

when i was in high school i forged my report cards my entire sophmore year, because my parents/grandparents gave me the incetive of money for A's and B's, it was a great scheme, and worked very well.

Now that im doing pretty well in college, and not living with my parents I told them what I did, they didnt really take it jokingly, they were pretty pissed, but eventually got over it

Thats crazy. I did the same thing in my sophmore year. I did the entire year too. I had typing class....so I could erase the grades on the scan tron with a regular eraser. I would make a copy and then type whatever grades I wanted to put.

i'd dont think ive reached that level with my folks yet. but until then, i'll gladly keep the time i drank a bottle of cough syrup and missed the toilet trying to pee in my tripped-out state while they slept peacefully in thier beds to myself....
or the time i went to Bertucci's for sunday family dinner after taking monster bong hits in the kitchen

cant say the worst things ive done even here as its not allowed ....little to say ONE involved me throwing up outside the house then runing inside with HUGE pupils ran uo to me mum n shouted....ALLRIGHT MUM!!!! HOWS YOU DOIN!!

When I was about 9 or 10 I was upstate for the summer with relatives, and went to my cousins' house. We were messing around in the basement, and I threw a switch that I thought was for the lights. My cousin said that his father (my uncle) told him that if anybody threw that switch, the boiler would blow the whole house up! We put the switch back to the way that it was before, and went down the street in case the house was going to blow. We didn't alert my aunt, who was upstairs making dinner in the kitchen. We figured that it was probably OK, since we put the switch back in place, but if we told her about it we might get in trouble anyway. If she got blown up, well nobody would be the wiser because we weren't even there. We did plan on pulling a fire alarm, though, if we had to.

After watching the house for about a half hour, with nothing happening, my cousin went home, and I went back to my grandparents' house. I worried about it for a while. My cousin eventually found out that it was just his fatherâ??s way of keeping the kids from touching the boiler switch. One day Iâ??m going to â??confessâ?� to my aunt and uncle, who are still living there.
