Ever stick a car key in an electrical outlet,
and then tell your friend Chris to "touch it- it's wierd and buzzing"?

I had lots of good ideas at the age of five.

1. No, but we did lie down on the road and play chicken
when I was five.

3. Omg! Heart attack!
My Mom would've smacked me into oblivion! I've always had a fear of traffic.

6. Ugh. I'm totally with you. Especially the teenage years stuff.
I'm very scared of that. Very scared.

11. When I was three, I was watching my Mom put her hair up
I was playing with a bobby pin and noticed that there was electrical outlet next to the vanity. Poof! Blown fuse, a burned finger, and the beginning of a lifetime fascination with electricty.

8. Oh no! But my sister constantly dropped her pillow on the radiator.
Long before I had kids of my own, I developed a paranoid need to get up and check on her at night.

10. My daughter tried that trick
only she used a penny behind the night light. It threw breakers all over the house.

14. My son peed in a model Lexus, at a store in the Mall of America,
when he was three. No low-brow peeing on the seat of a corolla, for THAT boy!
:rofl:

13. When I was three or four, I was
dancing to the theme to "The Partridge Family" as the show was coming on. Even at that early age, my klutziness came through...I fell, knocking an electrical outlet four inches back into the wall, spraining my wrist. I didn't watch the show anymore after that. (I weighed all of 40 pounds at the time, if that...I was just really moving.)
