As a kid (up until 14 or so) I was a real menace. Lots of stuff that I probably SHOULD have been arrested for but didn’t. The following is just what I got caught doing:
Throwing a rock through a black family’s window. (With a bunch of other kids - police gave us to our parents. We had to say sorry and pay for the window)
Shoplifting.
Giving a bloody nose with a snowball. (TWICE!)
Playing “King of the Jungle” on the merry-go-round - throwing kids off of it as it spun around. (The school ended up taking it down).
Graffiti on a neighbor’s house.
That doesn’t include all the other stuff where I DIDN’T get caught.
Although I did get it out of my system early on thank goodness. I still did stupid things as a teen and in college (and beyond) - but not malicious. And after I got caught shoplifting in the sixth grade I never even thought of stealing something again.
Tell us about the stuff you didn’t get caught doing!
“Playing King of the Jungle on the merry-go-round - throwing kids off of it as it spun around. (The school ended up taking it down).”
Here’s the modern version of that.

Motorcycles and merry-go-rounds make such a great combo!
