What crazy things have your kids done?

When my youngest son was 10, he had come home from school one day and went straight upstairs. After a few minutes, he came down and said dad, I have something to tell you. I said, ok, lay it on me! He says, I traded one of my Bakugons for a laptop computer! I said, you did what??? lol. Some kid in school actually brought his parents laptop computer to school to trade for my son’s Bakugon! I couldn’t believe it!
We took the computer back up to the school and explained what had happened. The Assistant Principal laughed and said well, your son sure came out better on that trade! 🤣

Recently we discovered my 14 yr old and her friend were rollerblading in her tiny room and someone managed to put a foot through the wall. Never told us about it in fear they'd be in deep trouble.

Instead, they found some YT video where someone recommended this "patch". They filled the hole with ramen, and I don't know if there was a paper layer on top, found the leftover paint can in the basement and painted over their "repair". Her paint job was damn near perfect.

Apparently two months went by before I happened to be in her room during the day while she was gone and noticed this area behind her door looked like the wall had water damage because it was all rippled. Her dad knew noting of it either.

Lessons were learned by all involved.

I wasn't even mad about the hole, though I wish she'd have told us so we could show her how to properly patch a wall. Thank goodness we didn't get rodents!

@Starcrossed I'm actually impressed that they patched the whole themselves. It's normally just a matter of time before the parents find out anyway. Haha!

@TravisTx I've got to say, I was quite impressed at the level of effort she took to cover up their shenanigans. 😆

@Starcrossed your story reminded me of a time when my two youngest (same boy and older sister) had two cousins over spending the night. Well, the male cousin was sitting at the kitchen table and leaning back in the chair I always sit in. He ended up breaking the chair! The kids all decided to piece the chair back together and not tell anyone…for obvious reasons. 🤨. So after a little while I come downstairs to eat my breakfast. They are all sitting around in the living room where they could see me. I sat down in that chair and within seconds the chair completely collapses! Lol. I smacked my head on the wall behind me. 🤕. They all took off upstairs laughing!!! 🫤🤣

@Starcrossed I might add, that chair was toast though! It broke apart! Lol

@Starcrossed Gotta give them an "A" for effort.

But yeah, in my experience, normally parents do not get upset if the kids at least try to fix their own mistakes.
