Kids can find some incredibly random things to do! Which, when you think about it, isn't such a bad thing. Experience is the greatest teacher of all, and getting yourself into sticky situations when young can give you a lesson in life that you will never forget. As long as your death wish lets you make it through to adulthood in one piece of course!

Twitter user @MotherOfDoggons asked people to share some of the stupid things they did as kids, and some of the real stories will make you wonder how these funny kids managed to survive this far. From starting fires and stabbing themselves for attention, to eating grass to prove that they are part horse, let's just hope that these crazy kids have learned from their hilariously stupid experiences. And if not then hey, at least they have funny things to tell. Scroll down below to check out the funniest tweets selected by Bored Panda, and share your own stories in the comments!

Of course that's dumb. You should've used the Johnson's Baby Shampoo one.

Hahaha, I always got Play Dooh for Saint Nicolas at my school. My mother dreaded that time of year. Because for some (creative) reason I always smeared the stuff in the living room carpet. As I also loved to make drawings on the bottom of the plate that was our salon table, instead of using the blackboard. I probably found drawing while laying on the floor more relaxing. And drawing gnomes on (again) the carpet in our living room was also my speciality ( in all shades of pink & purple).

I would say yes and no. Yes for not injuring and possibly even killing the kid, No for taking out the entire street.

My mom says I did that with a fork. A wonder I'm still here today to tell about it.

My sister did it with a hair pin, my mother told her not to or she will die, so she did it to prove her wrong. She got a shock and told my mum: I didnt die! It took my mum a moment to realize what she actually did.

So thankful for the safety design of UK sockets and tripping mechanisms.

You should be happy they weren't sewing scissors because otherwise you would have gotten electrocuted. (I mean, I can only assume they weren't)

We had a kid in six grade do that with wire... besides tripping that circuit, the clocks that were connected to a master clock in the office dropped off the wall.

100% total b******t. The main fuse in the school building would have blown. There is no way the "entire street" would have been affected.

When I was 7 I stapled my thumb just to see what it felt like. It hurt.

My friend and I were in grade 10 and bored one day in Science class. I dared her to stick the long metal tweezers into the outlet on our lab counter. She did. Luckily only shorted out that outlet.

I did that with a bobby pin. Thing burnt in & imbedded in the floor. I was supposed to be asleep. Mom came to check on me because the lights dimmed & bzzzzz’d. But I was clever; back under the covers pretending to be asleep. Ayup.

My Dad drilled through a mains cable at 11:30am on Xmas Day when I was a kid & shorted out the whole village! He had two PhD's! We never did admit it was him, just went outside & complained with everyone else!

Well, to be fair, the whole "you have to wear clothing to preschool" rule is pretty dumb....

Why do children have such a strong death wish? Is there any other animal out there who has to constantly save its young from killing themselves?

Did you pretend to be a cat and tried to climb the tree next time? 😺

I went through a short phase where I was pretty sure I could fly if I just tried hard enough. I gave it up pretty quickly when none of my flying experiments worked.

Parents shouldn't leave the fish tank "open" when there are little kids around
