I know this might be pretty negative. My son is really young, so he hasn't done much. The most he did so far is pee on a nurse. The worst thing I have ever done would have to be the time I was serving my self at a buffet (I was 7 and I was tall). I was getting my food when I sneezed all over the food there. That isn't that bad, but still pretty bad.

The worst my two sons have done was causing a small field fire. They, and a couple of friends were making a fire in the middle of a field when they threw a lot of dry leaves on it. The leaves caught fire and floated in the wind, falling and catching other things on fire. It was pretty bad.

My son was into Faxanadu, a NES game. He took a crayon and drew on the outside wall of our apartment building a great, big trident! Just like the one that the main character used in the game. He tried his best to deny it, but there weren't too many other kids that ate, slept and breathed that game in the neighborhood.

I can give you a doosey that a neighbor child did. He was 4. And, for some reason that family didn't like my husband and I. They'd call us names, throw things at our dogs, etc. Well, this 4 year old came over with a can of black spray paint and painted the word ASS on our driveway. He thought we weren't home. I caught him. I stomped out onto my porch and demanded that he "wash it off right now or I'm calling the police". So, this child comes back with a bucket of water and a sponge. Sits there for awhile washing the driveway, then gets up to leave. I asked him "where are you going". He said "it's paint, it won't come off". I said "well it shouldn't have gone on there should it?" I picked up the phone and started dialing. He went home crying, the police showed up... I was fit to be tied by the time they got there. Especially when I heard his mother tell the officer she had given him the can of spray paint to play with. Anyway..... we went out, and when we got back the word was gone. I don't know who got it off, but somebody did.
If my child ever does something like that, I hope my neighbor will handle it like I handled that. To a 4 year old, calling the police is a scary thing. The big difference for me would be, after a long heartfelt apology to my neighbor, my child would sit there and scrub that driveway til I thought they learned a lesson, whether anything came off or not, before I actually took care of it.

My daughter pulled a good one. She was about 5. I was into hitting flea markets on the weekends. She was pretty into it to. She had asked if anything could be sold at things like that and said "Yep, pretty much anything, anywhere."
One afternoon I get a call from one of my neighbors. She wanted to know If I knew what Kelly was doing. I knew she was outside. I had just heard her come in the front door and then leave again to go back outside. My neighbor said that I should look out the front widow.
There was Kelly, sitting on our front porch, selling my under ware....all my fancy bras and panties. She was selling them to the other kids in the neighborhood! I couldn't call out her name fast enough or get her in the house fast enough to suit me.
When I asked her why she was doing that of course she told me that she was holding a flea market. Luckily, she hadn't sold too much. Later that evening, when I found out what kids she had sold my undies to, I had the dads dropping by to return my undies. I made her return the money....ummm...she made close to 10 bucks....lol

Lily, that's horrible. The nerve! And then the mother.
Seekerladyblue, I'm blushing for you.
Father Time, the field fire wasn't in a drought state where it spread fast was it? :eek:
I have another fire story. I was three. Daddy was supposed to be watching me while Mom was out. I don't know where my sisters and brother were. Dad was talking with Rosalie Sorrels on the couch and not paying attention to me at all. I pulled a chair up to the stove and turned on all the burners. A towel caught fire. The Tupperware salt and pepper shakers melted. The kitchen was torched. I hid under M&D's bed. Dad was in big trouble!

It was the beginning of a drought, dry, but not dead.

That's not the half of it Helen. That woman had to be the worst mother in the world. The things she said to her children, and then things we heard her children say, it was just sickening. One night, during many of their front lawn summer night parties, we overheard the mother telling her 7 year old daughter "leave my f***ing beer alone", to which the 7 year old replied "f*** you". I can only assume the child was drinking the beer... I couldn't see over there. But it was loud enough for us to hear through our open window. We also saw, on more than one occasion, this drunken woman hanging all over the guy accross the street as she accompanied him inside his house.... with her daughter following right behind. And the 4 year old, we caught him one night after midnight throwing fireworks at our German Shepherd in the back yard (no wonder our poor baby dog hates kids now). When we confronted his mother, she insisted he was inside sleeping at the time. But we actually saw him!! She was trash... I was never happier than the day she moved away.

Good gracious. I think I'll just start crying now. Can we call Super Nanny on them? Didn't she deal with a bunch of foul mouthed kids ounce? I can't imagine cursing in front of my mother. Mom didn't have the cleanest mouth, but I knew better.

My daughter was a food slinger. So we had to be extra carefull when we fed her because if she got her hands on it, the food was on the wall real quick

Karma works funny sometimes. I went to call my ex and check out how our son was doing, he was about 3 when this happened (now five and potty trained), and I hear "OM he just peed all over my bedroom floor".
Seems my ex was on the computer, our son said "I have to go potty", his father said "Go potty" (without saying, in the bathroom, etc.), so our son did his thing, on his fathers floor.
For about a week he learned a potty mouth too, sadly the same day I called him and found out I was pregnant with his baby sister, he yelled some profanities into the phone (not knowing what they were of course) and then hung up on me. His father however, was not as lucky when I called him back. :)
