went 'exploring' on copenhagen aeroport when I was about three. we were on our way to brazil. mom freaked out.
age four or five, walked outside the window on the ledge, just to see if it was possible. we lived on the 5th floor. mom freaked out.
age four, we were on our way to copacabana as usual, which was two blocks away, and I tried to run through the quite heavy traffic. at the last second, mom grabbed my hand and pulled me back. she then explained that you're supposed to wait for the green light before you can cross the road. okay I thought, that makes sense. so we waited for it. after a while, the light changes to green - two blocks away! so of course I ran through the traffic, as fast as my little feet could carry me. mom freaked out, but I learned that I was supposed tho watch the lights on the crosswalk I'm trying to cross. damn illogical adults. :-/
age five, climbed up on the roof of an old country house during my cousin's wedding. the roof was quite steep, but it was still easy to get up. but once I got there, I had no clue how to get down. so I sat there, crying of course, until someone saw me and my uncle came to take me down. mom freaked out.
yes, I was a handful.
Originally posted by wormwoodWhen I was 3 I learned that if I stood at the top of the stairs and rattled the child safety gate, screaming "Breakfast! Breakfast!" at 3:00 in the morning, my parents would get up and feed me (just to shut me the hell up). One day, during this daily routine, I started rattling and my Dad got up to sort me out. He opened his bedroom door just in time to see my months and months of rattling shatter the gate's hinges. With a rather confused look on my face, the weight of the gate pulled me forward and I sledged down the stairs head first on it. My little joy-ride was ended when I crashed into the shoe-rack, shattered the telephone junction box behind it and damaged the front door. Strangely, I wasn't injured at all but it took about an hour to pry the gate from my death-grip. Overall, I put all the phones in the house out of action for about 2 weeks and caused about £250 of damage. Fortunately, the safety gate manufacturers paid up a nice settlement and I ended up making my parents a fair bit of money.

When I was a few years old, I tried to cut a very tiny piece of wood with a circular blade saw running at full speed. My dad was working in the garden at the time and his face turned white. It was a good job my mum wasn't around, she really would have freaked at my dad for letting me almost get my hand sliced off.
When I was a bit older, I pissed on our mains junction box. I believe this was before we had circuit breakers installed. Sparks were flying everywhere.
When I was around 23 or 24, at the local snooker and pool club. After a few pints I thought it would be a good idea to jump a flight of stairs. Misjudged the height and clipped the bottom step as I was landing. Upon taking off my shoe, my foot swelled to the size of Africa. We thought it would be a good idea to go to the hospital. Turned out I had stretched one of my ligaments and was on crutches for a few weeks.
