Lets have a fun self-deprecating thread
Tell me about the dumbest thing you remember doing. Most of you are still kids, so you should remember quite well 
As for me, I'd have to say it was when i stapled my thumb. I was holding a stapler in my hand with my thumb right over the metal part. And I had a brain lapse, lol, and pressed down without thinking. The staple went right through my thumb and i could see the end through my nail. The worst part was that my mother was right in front of me. She called me an idiot.

When I was 5, I kicked a wasp's nest "to see the little tables and chairs inside" and also to get a look at what the inside of thier "house" looked like. Boy were those wasps angry!!! I learned not to do that again in a hurry. 
I'm back after 11 years. Holy dooley! |

I don't remember exactly, but I seem to recall a strange memory of me telling some sixth graders (I was like a first grader or something) that I was allergic to... garbage?? xD
I don't really remember. x_x The most recent dumb thing I did was probably not eating for two days straight because I was "busy doing important stuff" online. x3

When I was about 6 me and my little sister had the wonderful game we used to play called "Garden."
One of us (usally my sister) would sort of huddle up under a duvet, which was the garden. The the others job was to jump, punch an pound the other one until the lay down flat under the blanket, all the while shouting "There's a lump in the garden!"
Oh we used to play it for hours.
I only remembered it the other day and suddenly realised how weird it was.

I purposefully stuck my fingers somewhere painful when I was about 6 or so... the substitute teacher was really boring, and I couldn't get my fingers out. I didn't try that one again.
More actually dangerous than that would probably be being the last off the bus one day (7 or 8), using the door closer to the back of the bus, and getting my leg caught in the door. Luckily a couple of the older girls saw me and dashed out in front of the bus to stop the driver... (don't worry, they were okay too).

Huh boy. *goes off to reminisce*
The other day, I tried to stop a fan... with my hands. Boy, did my dad scream.
Another one is when I was in kindergarten, and I reeeaaally had to go to the bathroom. So I ran to it (the bathroom was in the classroom) and pulled down my pants... in front of the whole class. (still had my underwear on) And my teacher went OFF.XD

This reminds me of when I was in preschool; I was in the bathroom during recess, and when I went back to class I was wearing only underpants! XD I ran back to the bathroom, found my pants, and came back to class, as red as a turnip. x3
And just the other day, I was watering the plants with a hose (on automatic spray), and I suddenly drop it. It flipped to "jet" setting and began blasting my nose with an immense stream of water going incredibly fast. o.O

I remember when I was young I was playing in the bath with a red plastic tea set. For some reason I filled one of the tea cups with soapy water and drank it. Then I was sick.  |

I got another one! You'll never believe this... I got a piece of hair in my mouth, and was sort of fiddling around with it with my teeth. Somehow I got the hair tied around one of my taste buds...XP

^ ouch!
Laura's story reminds me... the night before i went to school for the first time, I was super excited. And i wanted to be extra clean or something. so i decided to brush my teeth with soap instead of toothpaste. Because *clearly* that would do a better job. Well anyway OMG it was the most awful thing I ever tasted. awww man, bad idea.

One time, my brother and I were playing Robin Hood in the backyard. We were both in early elementary school at the time (I think), so I don't think we fully grasped the concept of "boundaries." At the time we lived on a hill, and a low (and I mean low; it was three feet high at most) fence marked the division between the flat portion of our backyard and the hill that began our neighbor's backyard. Well, to be frank, the childless couple next door had a much more "wild" looking backyard, so my brother and I hopped the fence and began ordering our imaginary Merry Men through their ice plants. It didn't take long for the neighbors to come out and start yelling at us. 
In my defense, I thought the hilly part of the backyard was a "grey area" that we shared with our neighbors, since the only things on the hill were plants and the flat part of their backyard held all of their "cool stuff." I honestly didn't mean to crush their vegetation. ^_^'
Also, that's not the stupidest thing I've done, but it is probably one of the most inconsiderate things....

i'm so old i can barely remember, hehe...
one of them that's up there is once i got in a fight with the neighbor boy which culminated with him throwing a giant chunk of metal at my head, and the resulting wound requiring seven stitches.
ah, i was also running around one time with my eyes closed (why i have no idea) and ran smack into the corner of a dresser, nearly blinding myself, as it was about a millimeter from my eye. i still have the scar.
another time i shimmied up the tree behind my grandma's house and decided to "fly" down onto the roof of the car. luckily, i was intercepted before that attempt went off.
i did a lot of stupid crap as a kid, now that i think about it. i'm surprised i'm still alive.

Ooh, I just remembered a good one.
When we were in preschool (or... my brother might have been in preschool and I in kindergarten), my mum took us down to the local community pool a few times a week one summer for swimming lessons. I remember the deep end of the pool had these "seats" built into the wall; they sat about a foot or two underwater but they were still high enough that someone my size could keep their head above water while seated. The kid would sit in the seat while the teacher instructed them, or hold onto the edge of the seat to practice kicking.
At one point I remember being seated, and my teacher suddenly wandered off to talk to another parent or student or someone. I was bored, so I decided to slip off the seat and practice doing somersaults in the water; every time I turned over I made sure to grab the edge of the seat so I wouldn't drift to the bottom of the pool. This worked fine until I accidentally missed the edge of the seat.
Now, the reason this was an example of pure stupidity on my part is that once I started sinking, I explicitly remember not even attempting to make it back up to the surface; I just let myself sink. I think it was a combination of unconditional trust in my teacher ('She won't let me drown. Mum would be really mad if she did,') and just an overwhelming sense of curiosity ('This is what sinking's like? Yeesh, it's not so bad. I don't get why the other kids panic so much about this.'). I don't even remember feeling suffocated; my teacher noticed me too soon for me to run out of air and hauled me back into my seat.
But, yeah, if she hadn't realized what I'd done, that would have definitely been one for the Darwin Awards.

This is more of something my brother did... But I'll share it with you anyway. When he was little, he got ahold of a screwdriver (uh-oh.) Next thing my mom knows, all the doors in the house are falling off their hinges and my brother comes up with a screwdriver and a bunch of screws saying, 'Look what I did Mommy!'

I stuck an alligator clip on my tongue. In the middle of class. And started wailing when it hurt. I remember it all too clearly XD

I was a weird kid. In preschool/kindergarten or such, my teacher was teaching us how to spell the word "up". I was trying to remember it, so I said "U is in the air."
A kid next to me said "Teacher! She just said my U U is in the air!"
XD
(U U= female form of Wee wee, for those who don't know)
Then my teacher said that kids who weren't good would have to do lines. The concept of "lines" in school hadn't been explained to me, so I wondered why kids hated this so much, because it's so easy to draw a line. XD
Edit: This happened more recently, but I remember how, just a few months ago, I was at this camp. I was standing in front of the dorms, talking to my friends. It was night. Suddenly, someone started handing us water balloons. Most people just got rid of theirs, but I held onto mine for a little while, contemplating who to throw it at. I walked over to the stairs that lead up out of the hole where the dorms are, decided just to throw it at the main "pack", held the water balloon over my head.... and in mid throw, the water balloon exploded. I was drenched and very upset. ZD

@angel:
Doing lines means writing a sentence over and over again as punishment. Like writing "I will not make crude jokes in class" five times.
@graph:
Why are you sorry for me? I was just a strange little child. It's not like I even saw those kids again (I was moved to homeschooling the next year). You should feel sorry for Julia, who slipped in her sibling's vomit, or angel, who stapled her thumb. (I actually did that once too, although it didn't go through the nail)

I have a varied list.
I was a *really* stupid child, admittedly, I'm still a child, but, whatever. Either way, wether it be trying to kiss agressive dogs, to trying to turn the house invisable by painting it white, it'd always end up in tears. Looking back on it now, it's infact quite funny.

ah, i remember this one time. i was about 5 and couldn't reach the light switch, so i had to drag my parents to my room unless i had something to stand on. this one time, i was about an inch from reaching the light switch, so i tthought, 'i won't bother my parents' but there wasn't anything to stand on. my room had those hideously over-decorated white plaster border things in the middle of the wall. you've probably seen them one time. well i tried to lean up on those to reach the light switch. it worked, i got the light on, but i didn't get off in time and the thing collapsed underneath me, making loads of noise, hurting my arm quite a bit, and ended up with me not getting my computer for the rest of the day ;-;
but apart from that, i didn't really do much stupid stuff when i was a kid. mainly cuz i still am one. :B |

You had a computer when you were five?
You could USE it?
I remember the only computer I had contact with until I was about 12 was a cream coloured, massive, clumpy thing that sat in the year 2 classroom on which you could (if you were one of the teachers favourites) play highly pixlated "educational" games.
And they FASCINATED me.
