There once was 4 cupcakes in a box and a little boy named Tristan.
When Mommy and Daddy turned their head.
The Cupcakes Disappeared…Hmmm! I wonder where they went?
When I was in 2nd grade, my dad was in the living room and we had some bottle rockets in the kitchen pantry, so I climbed in a chair, pulled one down, lit it and it shot through the house and popped!
Knowing that the sound of the bottle rocket had alerted the whole house, I quickly went to cover up my actions, so I did what every 2nd grader would do, I hid the smoking bottle rocket in the trash can, of course my dad had to be a smart aleck and ask me what happened, to which I replied in a similar smart alecky way, “I don’t know!?” (With a shrugging of the shoulders) – too bad that darned bottle rocket was smoking I may have gotten away with it.
Join the Conversation, What is the craziest thing you did as a kid and then tried to cover up?
Nothing, I was too afraid of what my dad would do when he found out, and he would find out.
Jett blamed the wind for pushing the swing into his little brother head and busting it open. quite creative!
2 things come to mind.
1) I stole a small glass figurine from my piano teacher’s house. Her hubby saw me and the teacher called my mom to ask about it. I denied it and then snuch it outside where I smashed it to bits w/ the hammer. The evidence was totally destroyed.
2) I volunteered to stay after school on a Friday to clean the erasers for my teacher / uncle. I started beating them against the side of the classroom (outside) and noticed they left a cool mark. I started writing obscenities on the wall, thinking (in Oregon) the rain would wash it away before school on Monday. My luck, it didn’t rain all weekend. =( He had to know it was me, but I never got in trouble for it.
@ brandi – Gavin, our oldest has had a few stories like those.
@ Mandy – That is hilarious about the erasers. I guess I can figure out the answer to your question the other day about people having a potty mouth outside of Twitter. 🙂
@ jalack – I know what you are talking about. My dad always told us he had an agreement with the Holy Spirit and would find out, thing is, he was right. Good thing I learned from most of my older sister’s mistakes! 🙂
My mom had a rule that no beverage other than water could be consumed any other place in the house other than the dining room table or the kitchen. One summer day, I sat on the couch with an orange soda in hand, and began to watch my favorite show. When I took the cap off the pop, it exploded, and I got orange soda all over the couch. Instead of telling my mom what I did, I flipped the couch cushions over. Like almost a year later when she flipped the cushions i got grounded for it.
@ Kelli – I think there should be a statute of limitations on stuff like that 🙂
I think it had something to do with throwing stuff at cars when I was in Middle School. The principal caught us but some how we were able to talk our way out of it.
I can’t thing of anything huge I did. I was too afraid of my mom, and what might happen. But I did do on a fairly regular basis sneak sodas.
It was a rule you had to ask for them and you could only drink them at the table or in the kitchen.
But I’d take them into my room and cough loudly when I popped the soda open. The cough covered the sound of the can opening.
When I threw them away I’d put them into a grocery bag and tie it up so it wasn’t obvious that it was a soda can.
Mom never knew. And today I think she might find it humorous if I told her about it.
tristan is so cute…
