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.

I did something similar.. I seen an advert for face wipes that targeted 'spots' and I knew my mum had the exact wipes so I tried to wipe a mole off my leg that I was not fond of. I was like 7 lol the mole does not trouble me anymore

    I had a rough idea, so I looked it up: A 100% slope is a 45 degree angle. In general, beginner slopes (green circle) are between 6% and 25%. Intermediate slopes (blue square) are between 25% and 40%. Difficult slopes (black diamond) are 40% and up.

    My grandmother heard her daughter squeal "Ooh, kittens!" Knowing that none of the barn cats was pregnant, grandma came outside to find my aunt Phyllis with her arms full of three baby skunks. She calmly convinced my aunt to put the kitties down and leave them alone, as they were very tiny and their mommy would be looking for them.

    When my youngest daughter was 2, I looked from the kitchen to the front door, saw her holding the front door open saying here kitty, kitty, got to the front door just in time to grab her and shut it as the skunk hit it and sprayed the front porch, you could smell it on the concrete for a couple of years.

    The boys would pull the pine tree saplings down and the girls would get on the tree and hold on. They would let the tree go! Depending on how big the sapling was depended on whether you got a ride when it flew up, or whether it slipped up and slung you 15 or so feet across the air until you landed on the ground. I took the big trip which knocked the breath out of me and scared me to death. Crazy kids! But we played outside all day.

    I mixed soap with water to make "perfume" for my mum. Then I got a bit offended when she pretended to put it on her body but clearly didn't actually do it. I've later learned soap dries out your skin if you don't wash it off, but at that age I couldn't make sense of her behavior.

    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).

    My sister had the habit of breaking the legs on all of my dolls so, as a revenge, I used a permanent marker to make tattoos on all her dolls. Years later when she was like 15-16 years old and had a boyfriend, and I was maybe 9 or 10 and angry at her for some reason, I took a needle and poked holes in a bunch of condoms I found in her room. She saw the holes (fortunately before using them) and hit me several times in the head with a dinner plate til it broke. I don't remember what she had done to me to make me seek that revenge...

    My brother used to do magic tricks by making beads and random stuff "disappear" up his nose. He was too young to tell anyone that he hadn't been able to retrieve one of the beads he had made disappear. Three weeks later he woke up on a Sunday morning unable to walk, seems to have become paralyzed overnight. It was a holiday weekend so my dad took him to hospital, 16 hours in hospital and they had no answers. Dad brought him home, mom & dad are devastated, because the hospital said without determining a cause, it could be permanent. Tuesday morning, call the pediatrician, take him right in before the office opens, first thing the doctor did was check his ears, then shined a light up his nose, called the nurse in and had my dad and the nurse hold him down while he removed the lost bead from his nose. The bead had caused an inner ear infection that left him with no sense of balance, so he couldn't walk, antibiotics for a week and he was back to walking, like nothing ever happened.

    In 7th grade, we got to disect a frog in biology. still not sure WHY I did it, but I brought the innards & eyes home, wrapped in cellophane & put them in the fridge...where mom found them & almost passed out...I did NOT repeat this in 10th grade when we disected again. I turned out to be a (mostly) normal, successful & productive member of society!

    As a kid my aunt stuffed a choc ice she got at school dinner time into her pocket so she could save it for later. She forgot about it until she got home and my Grandma asked her what she had for dinner.

    OMG, my brother did that in elementary school! He's autistic. One day his teacher took the kids in her class to the bathroom and my bro took off all his clothes and went streaking down the hall and the teacher couldn't catch him. She and the principal and two other teachers were trying to catch him and finally they came to me in class and asked me to help. It ultimately didn't matter since a teacher finally caught him without my help.

    Well, wearing clothes when you're not cold and not around sharp rocks or stinging plants, is completely unnatural and kinda ridiculous if you think about it. So it's totally natural for little kids to take their clothes off when they're not cold, because there is no reason for them not to, until they are taught that this is one of the rules of our society.

    That’s not quite true. Being ashamed of nudity actually evolved as a “successful” trait in order to get stuff done and not thinking about sex the entire time. Just blaming society again is not quite enough

    I did this exact same thing too in preschool. Excused myself to go to the bathroom, came back naked as a Jay bird. It was the middle of story time. The teacher saw the other kids weren't reacting so she just finished story time with me sitting there naked and then took me back to the bathroom later to get dressed. She figured why make a big deal about it. I guess that was a good approach because I don't even remember it, it just gets mentioned at every family gathering which is how I even know about it.

    My mom told me she and her siblings and cousins did something similar by throwing mattresses out of the second-story window of their house and then jumping out the window onto the mattresses. My mom was making her jump just as my grandmother was pulling into the driveway which distracted my mom and made her miss the mattresses, fracturing her tailbone.

    Meh, rabbit poo is totally safe. It's been processed by their GI track twice (they eat their first round of poo), so those pellets are cold manure, meaning it's pretty much no worse than playing with some composted leaves or grass. And they are herbivores so they don't really host any nasty zoonotic bacteria that affect humans.

    We were camping one year & my 4 y/o daughter found these interesting clumps while we were gathering firewood. They were dried horse droppings, which I knew would burn nicely and she was having such a good time I didn't stop her (They weren't gonna hurt her). My 11 y/o son comes along and asks why she's playing with horse poop. She freaked out and screamed "You let me touch horse POOP?" I'm laughing just writing this. She calmed down when she got to throw them into the fire and saw how pretty they became.

    My best and funniest stupid kid thing, was when I was 11. I decided to make an angel food cake for my mom as a surprise for desert that night. Used an entire dozen eggs... but didn’t realize you had to whip the egg whites separately! When it came out, I was so upset it wasn’t all fluffy! But then my sister pulled a hunk of it out of the pan, rolled it into a ball, and the damned thing bounced! I have yet to live it down, and have never baked another one since!

Next thing I know I'm hanging off the handrail, both my legs off the ground... somehow managed to pull myself up, sit on a step, remove the roller blades and not put them on for a couple of weeks after that.

    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.

    When I was 7 and a half, I made two half cylinder shaped 'wings' by bending two soft sticks and tying them by rafflesia strings, and binding the hollow middle with orange rubbish bags XD I nearly jumped off the second floor roof when the rafflesia string on one of the wings broke, so I had to go in and as sad as I was, the 'wings' were thrown away that night by my previous maid Maybe a guardian angel interfered to save my life >w

    Yeah same, i jumped down a whole flight of stairs wearing my Superman costume when i was 5, ended with me somehow turning mid air, cracking the back of my head open on our doorstep, being taken to hospital and having 5 stitches in my scalp. Kids really are so unaware of physics and death.

    Friends daughter, 4 or 5 years old, jumped from the top of the stairs with a cape on. Ended up with a concussion and I think a brain bleed, swelling, something like that. When they were packing to leave the hospital she looks at her daughter, who is thinking really hard, and suddenly daughter says... “maybe it was the wrong cape...”

    So many of us have tried this at some point in our lives as children. The disappointment is devastating. I only experimented off of my bed--which wasn't very high off the ground to begin with, wearing a blanket around my neck like a cape.

    My grandmother told me a lot of stories about my father when he was little. One was when she couldn't find him in the house. She looked all over, then went outside, couldn't find him. She enlisted the assistance of the neighbors in searching for him. Then, just as she was about to call the police, she went in his room - and there he was, asleep on his bed.

    This is why kids should never get fish. Sure, I was a young kid when we got our fish but I was educated on the topic of proper fishkeeping and aquaristics. Our goldfish lived for 18 years and would have lived longer if they hadn't gotten a tumor. I can't believe how many humans buy goldfish and carp, then keep them in miniature bowls or plastic containers thinking they'll thrive. They won't even survive. Fish are living beings, they're not toys, please do research before getting pets. No, I am not one of those stuck-up idiots who think any animal who is not a cat or a dog is exotic and should be "free" because that's b******t, but I know that any sort of animal deserves proper nourishment, exercise, grooming and personal freedom. Humans should live in symbiosis with other animals, not use them as objects. Honestly, if a human wants to have a tiger as a pet, why not, as long as they got them legally and provide everything a tiger needs.

    My sister, cousin and neighbourhood kids used to play in our yard. We had a clothes line that spun around (look up Hills Hoist). We used to pick an arm each and swing around in circles and whoever hung on the longest won the game. We called the game, Wheel of Fortune. LOL

    My sister was headbutted by a highland cow we had been patting and she had to go to a&e. It was hilarious at time and is still funny to me now.
