Stupid things you did when you were a kid

I watched my father inserting a tester into an electrical socket to examine its connection. The tester's head lit red every time he inserted it. I was curious as well.

I couldn't find his tester, so I had to make do with what I had. And that turned out to be a little iron rod used to clean the stove. I got upon the table, inserted the iron rod, and turned on the plug, hoping to see the top of the rod light up red like the tester.

"Reality struck through my body," is the only way to explain how I felt. 😵‍💫I was thrown off the table.
I gathered myself, half dazed, staring at the iron rod still in my grasp, wondering why it didn't glow red.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? 😜😄

So what's your story?

I was a very cautious kid but as I grew older I became reckless.One of the worst instances I remember vividly was one afternoon when I was going to pick my kid from kindergarten late.I was in a big hurry to cross the road and when I reached the mid of the road I suddenly realised there was a huge truck heading on one side and a high speed vehicle the other side and it was as though I saw my death being crushed into pieces right in front of me.
I was so stunned and shocked that I stood there completely frozen.

luckily both of the them stopped and I crossed the road safely.
That was a near death experience.
