Default Childhood thing you got in the most trouble for

What did you do as a child that resulted in the worst punishment you ever got?

How could you leave off "beating up your younger siblings?"

Got kicked out of 7th grade math class for throwing spitwads -- at the teacher.

Dad forced me to make up with the teacher, who later promoted me to honors algebra -- 1st step to actuary.

I didn't get in too much trouble for it, but I stole a giant bundle of fireworks when I was five, and I didn't get caught. What can I say? I was a natural. My parents yelled at me to return it.

Carving "We hate Mr. <<dean of students>>" on the bathroom wall in 7th grade. My co-defendant cracked and gave me up. Wasn't pretty. Suspended. Grounded for a month. Had to go in on the weekend to spackle and paint the bathroom wall (with our fathers).

Thankfully I never got caught for the really bad stuff.

I tested the limits off how much I could talk back to my mom while my dad was out of town, only problem was my dad came back in town.

Boy did that hurt.

The hurtful thing was the meanest thing I ever did to my parents - but I would say they were most upset if I came home sloshed.

Other than a momentary lapse of judgment when I was about 10, I caused no problems for my parents. Besides, I was too busy doing activities (gymnastics, swimming, ballet, tap, etc.) to get into any kind of trouble.
