My answers:
1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? Not really, my biggest act of defiance was refusing to work one summer day.
2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? Yes, I was a good and boring kid.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? As a photo opportunity for the Yearbook, I asked the Principal for permission to lead a donkey down the hallway of the school, he said NO WAY. The Superintendent of Schools was just down the hall, I asked him and he said yes on one condition, it had to enter the school through the back door of the Music Room during class. We put it in writing, and he covered my ass when we led an ass through the school. ( An early sign that I destined to become a lawyer.)
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? My mother, my sister and I turned a street sign one night, and the next day got my mother to turn off of Holiday Drive, onto Holiday Drive. Sorry Mom, one of my few practical jokes.
5: Did you ever get caught? No, I had a boring childhood.
Please share your answers in the comments.
Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? Well, not bad, but mischievous
ReplyDelete.
Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? Yes, most of the time.
What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? The time I almost burned down half the backyard!!!
Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? No, if I did something bad to someone, they probably deserved it.
Did you ever get caught? Caught doing what?? So that would be a no?
Most of them deserve it.
Delete1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid?
ReplyDeleteNot really, the occasional mischievous prank. I steered away from real trouble and those that caused it. I could see that it wasn’t worth the consequences.
2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed?
Mostly.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young?
Setting off the school fire alarm just to see what happened.
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager?
The teachers that thought that the school was about to burn down.
5: Did you ever get caught?
Yes, when helping myself to some biscuits without asking first.
The cookie jar should always be open
Delete1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? What do you mean by "kid"? I know I did a number of bad things along the way.
ReplyDelete2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? I don't really understand this question but I know I caused them some heartache.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? Setting fire to a haystack for example.
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? Yes - Sorry Mum! Sorry Dad!
5: Did you ever get caught? Yes. At eighteen I was arrested and brought to court. My parents were mortified.
To tell you the truth I am ashamed of several of the things I did back then but I am so glad that I gradually learnt my lesson and for the last fifty years I have lived a blameless life of scrupulous honesty and at least outwardly - conformity too. It could have easily gone the other way.
Hay burns fast.
Delete1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? No
ReplyDelete2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? If they trusted me, yes.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? I honestly can’t come up with anything.
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? Too many to mention.
5: Did you ever get caught? No.
Some of us tried so hard to set a good example.
Delete1. No, goodie two shoes.
ReplyDelete2. Yes. I am amazed at what I recall doing alone and what I was allowed to do at such a young age.
3. Probably buying cigarettes at the local store for my mother and putting them on my parents account, and smoking them myself. Unfortunately they were menthol, which I didn't like too much.
4. Not that I remember. I do wish I spoke out more about things that were wrong.
5. I was caught once after buying a tube of glue at the local store and putting it on my family's account. I thought the fuss was out of proportion to the crime, but I think I had been told I wasn't to buy glue and I disobeyed.
I think my father's only open account was at the local plumbing supply.
Delete1. Let's just say the police chief and I were on a first name basis.
ReplyDelete2. At one point it was not, then they were on to me.
3. Shoplifting candy......then books.
4. I'm not in recovery - so I don't think it's mandatory. And they might all be dead now.
5. Oh my. yes. See #1.
Sounds like you had fun along the way.
Delete1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? I was the middle child between a brother and sister who always got into trouble so I learned at a young age what I could and could not do,
ReplyDelete2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? I think so.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? I can't think of anything ... maybe stealing candy at a store or skipping school. Does murder count? I kid.
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? I don't think so.
5: Did you ever get caught? Once or twice but it was never as bad as the things my brother and sister did so it was kind of no big deal.
My older brother was always in trouble, a role model of what not to do.
Delete1: Where you a troublemaker when you were a kid? No, I was a good kid.
ReplyDelete2: Was your parent's trust in you, well placed? Yes, I'd say so.
3: What was the craziest thing you got away with when you were young? I rode my bike all over town even when I supposed to stay within the immediate neighborhood.
4: Is there anyone you owe an apology to for something you did as a teenager? I can't think of anyone.
5: Did you ever get caught? Yes, once. I was describing something I saw on my bike ride before I realized it was something way out of the neighborhood bounds.
I was lucky in that there we no boundaries on the bike. My father had grown up as an early free range kid.
DeleteYes, I was a good and trustworthy kid. I plead the fifth on the rest of the questions.
ReplyDeleteWise choices
DeleteI'm with Debra! For once, I'm keeping my big mouth shut!

3. TP'd the high school.
4. No, I've always been a friendly, helpful person.
5. My Mom found out I started smoking when I was away at college. She could smell it on my clothes when I got in the car with her.
Smoking is an easy one to spot.
DeleteSimple, I rock the boat as a teenager.
