What is something you tried to get away with as a child?

Question

maybe it's something your parents laughed at or struggled with.

Answer 1

cleaning my bedroom was the worst. I always tried to tell my mom that it didn't matter, that it was just going to get in a mess again. I figured out that it didn't work, so I finally stopped giving her problems about it. Now my oldest daughter says the same thing to me, so I just tell her that it didn't work when I was little, so it won't work with her either.

Answer 2

Staying up late. (past my bedtime)

Answer 3

Oh, yeah. My mom kept goodies on the top shelf of the cupboard. One day when she wasn't in the kitchen with me,  I climbed up the drawers to stand on the counter so I could reach to the top. At 4, I wasn't quite tall enough, and what I could reach turned out to be a glass bottle of oil that crashed down onto the tile surface, brought my mom running into the kitchen, and made a HUGE mess. You may laugh, but my mom sure didn't!

Answer 4

I was a manipulator.  I tried to convince my parents to move me into the bigger room even though no one would be in it with me and my two brothers had to share.  I kept on saying how I kept bumping into stuff because there wasn't enough room for me to walk around.  One day I got a huge bruise from bumping into my brothers' wooden bunk beds.  I ran screaming down the stairs to my mom saying, "See I told you my room was too little.  I fell on the corner of the toy box because the big dumb doll house was in the way!"  I almost had her until my brother came downstairs a few hours later and saw ice on my leg. He said, "That's what you get for jumping from the top bunk."  I could murder him.
