Growing up the rule for Saturday mornings was that the first kid up was able to choose what our father made for breakfast. My little brother E (3 or 4yrs old) got up at like 7AM and told my dad he wanted "treaded pancakes" or "shredded pancakes". My brother was still working on speaking clearly and was very upset that my father did not know what he meant. My father woke me up and asked me to translate. So I get up and ask my brother, who is almost in tears. "shtreaded pancakes!" he says. I look straight at my dad, "Waffles" I say "The boy wants waffles."
Mom and I were re-painting a ceiling when the dogs went crazy barking. We rushed outside to do battle (this being a very rural area, you never knew if a bear would show up)... and scared the bejeezus outta the US Postal Service guy b/c we also happened to shout PAINT STICK WARRIOR WOMEN! as we ran out wielding our paint rollers.
OMG! That is too funny!
When I was 2, I touched a broken outlet, got electrocuted and pooped my pants :))
You got an electric shock, electrocution is when you're killed, unless you're a ghost in which case walk into the light Rokas.
I was four or five years old, my grandpa took me to a zoo and I saw a peacock for the first time. My delighted exclamation: "Grandpa, look, a blooming rooster!"
Well, when i was maybe 7 or 8 years old and was in " sunday school " the girl that seated Next to me had Down Syndrome ( still remember her name lol and i'm 44 now ) so One day we where in out " class Room " and One of the light switches was broken and didn't had its cover, só being the as....le i was as a kid i told the girl to shove her finger in the hole, which She told She wouldn't do, despiste me insisting, in sum lmao She never touched the open light switch, and i was só frikking curious that ended up shoving MY finger in the hole, and because Karma is a b..... I got an electrick shock and spent the rest of the class with my hand trembeling like crazy.....
This is the most hilarious on the list lol
When I was little my dad made me believe I could use the bathroom for him. Before going on trips or something he would say hey I need to use the bathroom but I'm busy can you go for me, after I would use the bathroom he would then say thank you I'm feeling much better now.
Your dad was BRILLIANT!!!! Parents everywhere just to an AH HA moment
My mom came out of the bthroom after having done eyebrow pencil, and I said, without missing a beat. " OHH Maman you made man eyebrows" . She went back and changed them.
Wouldn’t call it “funny” per say, but I had my first “kiss” at eight years old by randomly kissing boys and girls in my classroom. Fellow student found out and told the teacher. As for others, I made fart jokes a lot as a young grade schooler. Didn’t know that experience would lead to me being bisexual. I’m still in the closet to my family and I don’t plan on coming out to them at all. I could envision myself with a boyfriend or a girlfriend but when I’m around my friends I just say boyfriend as I don’t want them to think I’m weird.
I was playing hide and seek with kids around the cul-de-sac. Competitive as I was, I sat tucked in a hedgerow trying to decide what was more important - winning the game or answering the call of nature at the risk being found. Suffice to say I stupidly chose the former and decided it was better to wet myself. Then walk all the way back home in p**s soaked jeans. I totally got my priorities all wrong. But for whatever it’s worth, I have bloody fantastic bladder control as an adult!
Fantastic can’t have it happening again right!😎👉👌
I touched my tongue on a hot toaster to see if it would make that "sizzle" sound. It did!
My “ ex girlfriend” forced me to the school attic saying a teacher wanted me there, and locked the door and and then her twin sister tried to kill me. We were 11.
I'm guessing that's one of those you had to be there funny moments.
5 year old me tackled mom from behind, causing her to grab hold of china cabinet to keep from falling. Many glass, ceramic pieces fell onto floor breaking. I hid under a bed until pieces cleaned up. Cannot recall any type of punishment for this either.
When my twin sister and I (male) were very young, maybe around 8-10, we had a brother/sister siblings living down the street from us we often played with. Sister was iirc a year or so older than the brother... One day we all went swimming in my family's pool, getting in our swimsuits and leaving our regular clothes on a bench in the back yard. The boy's underwear had a "mysterious" brown substance in it, when we teased/interrogated him about it, he said "Mom my puts play-doh in my underwear!" The older sister, of course, was having none of it, and called him out while chasing him around the yard with his "play-doh" undies on a stick, taunting him as to why he was so scared of it.
Had a similar situation with my much younger cousin. But, I didn't chase him with a stick 😂
When I was about 3-4 my mom told me I could have a cookie if I ate at least half of a plate of grapes. I took a bite out of every grape.
I think that's actually pretty smart for a 3-4 year old.
Not me but my uncle When my uncle was very young he was getting dressed and he put his shoes on his opposite feet. My grandmother saw this and said "Owen you put your shoes on the wrong feet" . My uncle looked at my grandmother and then his feet "but mom these are the only feet I've got!"
It was Easter time at my dad and new stepmom's home... Early 70's. All of us kids were involved in an egg hunt. I saw my dad look under a bush and then walk away shaking his head. I went to the bush and looked and pulled out a yellow egg. Dad was not so pleased. He thought a 9 yr old gaslighted him... LOL!!!
Why did he think he was gaslighted? Did he just mess the egg?
When my sister was 2 and I was 7, we went to collect eggs from our hens. When I collected them, I put them in my shirt. (Yk, lift up the bottom of ur shirt for a pocket.) But my sister however put them in her shorts pocket. We come in to the house and my mom notices I have eggs, but my sister doesn't. She asks, "J, where is your eggs?" J (sister) *Points to left pocket.*," It's in dis pocket." Mom ,"Is it in there now?" J "No." Mom ," Where is it then?" J," I put it in da tee" Mom ,"You put in the the tree?" Me ,"Yea."
Ok so this one day I was in the car with my grandfather and he said that his siblings ran off in an elevator when he was just 4 or 5 and he got caught by a security guard and his siblings were in MAJOR trouble 😆 🤣 😂
I was my dad's princess. He indulged my every whim. Of course kids like me are stinkers. First time he took me on a plane to visit my grandma, I was about 5, I insisted he get up, go to the cockpit and tell the captain to "make this plane go faster. Right now." Boy oh boy, once I reached adulthood, he told that story to everyone. I never lived it down, but we would laugh about it. Lost my precious dad in 2012. I miss him ribbing me about it. I'm not quite as demanding now.
Things That Never Happened for $1,000, Alex.
I was playing Atari missile command and the screen started shaking. Come to find out, it was Mount St Helens blowing up, just 60 miles away. That was the first time I remember seeing a lot people wearing protective masks. Our town was completely covered in light gray, like a heavy snow. School was out for a week. With the ash that choked our local river, an 18 hole golf course was built.
My grandmother took me to the Jacksonville Zoo. I was 6. I was excited see all the animals IRL that I saw pictures of, or on TV. I knew all their names and wasn't shy demonstrating my knowledge. When we got to the Elephants, I caused a big stir. I noticed something odd and yelled out, "Hey Grandma! Look! Loook!! That elephant has FIVE legs! 1-2-3-4-5!" When she stopped laughing and got her breath, she explained that it was a male elephant.
This isn't mine it's my brothers but when he was a toddler our mother left him alone in his room and then realized he was being too quiet she walked in and . . Baby powder everywhere he said it was "snowing". He manage to get it everywhere inside the room.
My nieces did that with a canister of oatmeal. Mom got home from nursing shift to , “mommy. we skiing!” in the kitchen. in their underwear. Dad, “hey, they were quiet.”
Well one day I went to the store with my mom and her friend and keep in mind I was young at the time well we walk by the Ziploc bag box's and I looked at them and I go "Mom how come on the box it shows food in the bags but the bags don't come with food in them" :)
When I was about 10 or 12 my mom, my best friend & me was coming back home from the store when the car died at the intersection in town. My mom asked us to get out & push the car so we get out & go to the back of the car & push but the car didn't move so we try again still nothing so me & my friend take off our flip-flops for better grip ( despite the hot pavement ) still nothing but we continue to try & just as the guy in the 18 wheeler gets out to try & help us the car finally moves. Me & my friend later found out that it wasn't moving because my mom had the parking brake on & when we asked we she had it on she said because it was a red light. There was no other cars crossing the intersection because all the other cars was politely waiting for us to move our car out of the way.
Me and my sister are much better than our mother at English due to us moving to a different country at a young age and having to learn English to communicate. My mom wanted to improve her English and so she asked us to speak it with her,I was seven in the backseat of the car,she said (with a broken accent) “So we speak English now?” and I rolled my eyes while saying “This is gonna take a loooooooooooooonnnggg time” Still a family inside joke :')
I called Parmisian cheese shaky cheese. And my sister once ran away out of the backyard to the sound of the Ice cream truck. I chased her down half the block until she gave up.
My wife called it Farmer John cheese, as a little girl.
I once got out of the pool at my grandpa's house and he started mopping the patio.
I don’t get it.
When I was 7 years old, the dentist hurt me with one of his little stools ( nothing serious, he didn't do it on purpose) then scold me because i moved a little , because it surprised me. I bit him.
When I was in 2nd grade when I was playing on the school playground I fell and broke my arm and the nerve popped out of place and then I was yelled at by my teacher for crying and she told me it wasn't broken ¯_(ツ)_/¯
When my brother was about three, he wanted a monster truck. A toy one. So we went to The Dollar Store. He chose a smaller monster truck. We get back home and not five minutes had passed when he started crying. "But I want big monster fwuck" He sobbed.
When I was about 18 months old and not feeling well. Sore throat. So my parents took me to the doctor. The doctor got out a tounge depresser. And I apparently was having none of it. I did a snapping turtle impression on the stick. The doctor blinked. Then tried to wiggle the stick. The head bobbed but the jaw was locked. My parents were no help. They were rolling laughing. Doc, "I think I saw enough." Yeah right. I didn't want to be poked.
When I was 5, we went to a wedding of a relative. My mom explained there would be a ring bearer and train bearers. I thought she said trained bears so as the bride passed I loudly said "Where are the trained bears?" Boy was mom embarrassed.
Well, in elementary school, I was a REAL animal lover. And where I lived there was this pond behind our apartments I would cross sometimes to get to my bus stop quicker. There was always animals out, birds, rabbits, and ofc... ducks. I saw a baby duckling and well, I thought it'd be a great idea to bring it to school. Teacher freaked out, so did all my classmates. I didn't get in trouble for it they just called the animal services. I promised nothing like that would ever happen again... in 5th grade I did it again :p
When I was around 12-14 throughout my high school years, everytime my brother (4 years younger than me) and I would get McDonalds, we would order Happy Meals and then after dinner we would take my Dads hammer and blast them to smithereens. Sometimes, we would deface them with Sharpies beforehand. Whatever kept the kids away from hurting each other was my parents mindset I guess :)

When I was 7 or so, I was singing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (Bette Midler). But I was a little confused on the lyrics. "He's the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of company b, said he couldn't blow a bugle so he blew me." I had no idea why my mom was laughing so hard.

My brother and I played pranks on each other when we were younger. One day, I was, I think, 9yrs and he was 7yrs, he was under the weather and fell asleep until evening. Our mom had me go wake him up for dinner and I couldn't resist the impulse to wake him up saying he was late for school. I even helped him get dressed and ready before I sent him out for mom to take to school. I ended up having to go to bed early that night, but it was so worth it.
When I was around 7 I wanted to watch Nosferatu which aired in the evening. My parents thought it wasn't a great idea. However, we had an old black and white tv upstairs so I watched it anyway... Didn't dare to go to the toilet after that for quite some time if the bathroomwindow wasn't closed :p Growing up, I loved to watch all the scary movies :)

Lol, I wanted to, thought I did post it there too, but I guess it turned up somewhere else? ;)
