Stupid things you did when you were a kid

I dropped the dime. I was avoiding homework one lazy afternoon and I noticed a small gap in between the extension cord and the cord for a small tv I had in my cabinet and I was curious about what might happen to something like a metal coin if it came into contact with the exposed prongs in the gap. I feel like I must’ve known something “exciting” was going to happen. I just remember that I blew the fuses for my room and possibly the entire end of the house. My parents reading in their bedroom were unpleasantly surprised by the sound of my experiment which I recall was loud like an explosion and I had a small melted spot in the rug in my room where the dime landed rather hot from it’s encounter with the live prongs and it had 2 indentations melted in the edge of it from the contact. Shockingly pun fully intended my TV was not damaged nor was I though I do recall that I missed on my first two attempts to get the dime to land just right and I’m probably pretty lucky that I didn’t receive an arcing shock from how closely I needed to be to drop the dime just right. This was my second “experience/experiment” with household electricity as I was involved with a friends house being browned out from an erector set metal piece being inserted into her wall socket and a dark black stain being left on the light colored socket but again no injuries though she remembers it differently and says we both were electrocuted. She may be right. A little while later I decided I wanted to try and jump my bike and spin it 360 degrees and I made it to 90 degrees and half my face was scabbed over from the way that I landed. I don’t remember having a helmet on either pretty sure that I didn’t as it was 1984ish. By 1986 my safety conscious mother made me wear knee pads elbow pads and a helmet for my first real skateboard. I was so skinny I wore adult sized elbow pads for knee pads because they fit better. Still got plenty hurt.
