Not sure why but I was thinking of how stupid I was when I was a kid. Examples:
I once saw a movie that had paratroopers in it. Thinking how cool it was, I took my moms umbrella to the roof and jumped with the umbrella. Did not work like the movies, broke the umbrella and my arm.
One night we were having the worst windstorm in our towns history, maybe 70mph gust winds. My friend and I decided to take our skateboards along with one of my moms sheets and go wind-sailing. It actually worked, we had a pretty good speed going all the way up to the point where a small pebble locked up my skateboard wheel. My friend lost a tooth, and I had my second broken arm.
Once I thought it would be cool to sew a patch on my jacket using my moms sewing machine. Had no idea how to work it, but how hard could it be? Well, after the ER visit the docs were able to detach me from the patch and jacket. Note to self, keep fingers away from sewing needle.
Was I just a clumsy kid, or do you have similar tales?
