My mom was always at work so my sister and I were home by ourselves after school. We were supposed to stay in the yard and not let anyone in the house, as well as not being allowed in anyone else's. We would break that rule at least 3 times a week and would get caught at least once a week. It usually involved a game of hide and seek and someone sneaking inside to hide, before you know it we were all in one house or another and would lose track of time.
Constantly getting in trouble for? Coming home late. Happened quite a bit. That and sassing my mother, which I always got busted for. I regret it now, but hey! Kids will be kids.
I was a pretty good kid but my mouth use to get me in trouble. Even back then I wanted to know "why" and "how come" I was pretty good at arguing my case and negotiation
lol had I know back then that these would of continued through life I would of headed right for law school
That's me!
Now I am paying for it with a litigating teenaged son. The two of us can really get it going.
When I was a kid, we lived less than a mile away from a bowling alley that had pinball machines. This was back in 1971, when I was 14. Me and other kids from the neighborhood used to hang out at that place and play pinball, and I got in trouble one time because I got upset at one of the pinball machines, and I damaged the glass top when I slammed my fist into that aluminum bar right above the flipper buttons, and I cracked the glass there. It was pretty loud in there because there were a lot of people bowling that afternoon, and the guy at the counter didn't hear me slam my fist, but somebody told him and they asked me to not come back again.
Coincidentally, just a few months earlier, one of the kids I used to hang out with had a potty mouth, and everytime things didn't go so well for him on the pinball machines, he'd use foul language. The manager of the bowling alley had enough that day and he kicked all of us out, which goes back to yesterday's question about getting kicked out of places, that was one, and unfortunately, I was kicked out for good after I damaged the pinball machine!
Yeah I know, that was bad, but I confessed my sins.

I was raised with an iron fist, and if you see something that is supposed to get done and you dont do it.......you would get it,
So I would get in trouble for procrast ( sp)....ugh for putting off till later
[b]Was there one thing when you were younger that you found yourself constantly getting in "trouble" for ?
School work. I was hopelessly bored all of my school years. I never had anyone inspire me to do much of anything in school. With no inspiration, I was never motivated to "perform" well for any one.
Not to be interpreted as I chose to be stupid. I was in fact pretty smart, but I never gave my teachers or my parents the satisfaction of knowing that. Why give them credit for a job they never did?
And, as the youngest child, I got blamed for so many things I had nothing to do with. I didn't even need to be in the same vacinity and I got blamed. Spent many years, sitting in my room, reading, playing with my barbies... just minding my own business.
Ugh.... now I've just unearthed a ton of great memories!

Nope, I got in trouble for all kinds of things and I still am.
