Childhood things your parents don't know about

    What are those silly little things you did as a child, which your parents never found out about or only found out about as an adult?

    I recently told my mother about how I scaled a 3-storey apartment block to watch a lightning storm that, at one point, was only a mile away. It had the best view, but the look on her face was something priceless.

    I stole 50p from my mother's purse once when I was sent to do the messages. This was at a time that pocket money was 10p a week :) I cried myself to sleep over the guilt for about 3 weeks, but wouldn't tell them what was wrong. Only told my mother about it a few years ago, laughing. She wasn't amused initially - she remembers that period, and they thought that something terrible had happened to me and had brought me to the doctor and everything (which I don't remember). She saw the funny side eventually!

    LOL, you were molested and your brain has blocked it out and replaced it with some ridiculous story of a nicked 50p.

    Kudos to your mother for not telling you the truth about Fr Reilly and those extra first confessional practices you were made do.

    When I was 7 or 8 I molested the priest and told him not to tell anyone.

    I cycled straight into one of my mums favourite trees and broke it.
    I told her it was a woodpecker.

    I found "The Book of Love" under their bed, had mad positions and stuff. I returned nearly every day for 2 years, making sure the book was placed in the exact same way I had found it every time

    it wasnt ruffians that threw 20 tins of paint at our wall, it was me. and i did a pretty damn good job for an 8 year old.

    My weekend camping trip to the Phoenix Park was in fact actually a train trip to Wexford. And whilst there, I got so drunk I passed out in a wooded area and slept whole night. Myself and my mates had so little money on us that we had to hitchhike to/from the train station. A year later we got drunk again and somehow ended up in a train station in Cork.

    God I miss being 12. I'm such a 'tame' person now!

    I forged my mum's signature on sick notes and homework journals (where they used to write reports re: your messing for them to read) for years. Could still sign her name for years after I left school.

    i made my brother laugh so much that he fell off he top of the sofa and his bum went straight through the window!
    he was so embarrassed about the glass in his bum that we told them it was a bird!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭Vinta81


    Agh embarrassing to admit, but I was the one who kicked the glass front door in when we moved here! You don't tell me we're moving to Ireland on my 12th birthday and expect me to be happy lol. To this day, they still think the construction workers did it lol.

    Whenever I go to friends house for the night it's because their parents are away. Have a feeling my mam might suspect that, but no idea really, I'm always fine by the time I go home.
    I'm 16, so as most of you have guessed this still goes on.

    Also there've been a few times that I've just left in the middle of the night and wandered down to the village to meet up with friends.
    Not recently, except for kind of recently when a friend called me up at one in the morning and basically told me to leave my house and follow the music, spent like an hour wandering around backroads trying to find a party.

    Gin : 40%
    Vodka : 37.5%

    How does that work exactly?

    That time the dog ate an entire shepherds pie due for the Sunday dinner? We nicked a bottle of wine and ended up disgracing ourselves to the point of a shepherds pie fight...Sorry about that
