When we grow old and grumpy we forget we were kids once. Kids just want to have fun.
If their sense of fun is scaring the living *** out of adults well thats life.

874546 2010-04-09 07:04:00 Old? I'm only 19!! Kids will be kids is a piss poor lame excuse. I've done some 'kid' stuff only a few years ago but nothing like throwing waterbombs at cars passing by. Even at 14 I knew that was something I shouldn't do. qazwsxokmijn (102)

Incidentally that did happen when I was a toddler. Went through my passage several days later. It was one of those 6-circle blocks. Funny thing is my mother still keeps it for the lols.

At 12 I did a couple of 'dares' that would undoubtedly have annoyed a couple of people, but nothing as annoying as what you've done. One of those things were the classic ring-the-door-bell-then-run trick.

I have to admit I'm probably exaggerating and half spoke out of my ass when I said I'd punch the kid who threw or will ever throw waterbombs at my car as I drive past. The kids who did that once ran away when they saw me pull over and started reversing. I would think most kids would be apologetic like you when confronted, so in that instance I would just tell them to f off and never do it again. In another instance where the kid still challenges that, that's probably when other things will happen.

874551 2010-04-09 07:50:00 Water Bombs Nah, We used over ripe tomatoes from behind a hedge on the Main Rd at Burnham south of Ch Ch .

Very early 1950's it was . The local cop caught us kicked us up the backside (true) Threatened to tell our old man which scared s--t out of us . Next day we were hitching a ride to Dunsandel to play rugby he picked us up took us, watched us play and drove us back, not a thing was said about the day before . Thems were the days:clap:clap

Therein lies a lot of the difference between then and now . Local cops cared and they sorted out many a kid . I am sure many do care now, but their hands are tied . Better a kick up the backside at the time than worse consequences for the kid later . Or the cop told your Dad and you 'copped' it from him . If that was to happen now both the cop and your Dad would probably be in big trouble . PC gone start raving mad .
Most of us did get up to a few silly pranks when we were kids, but nothing I can remember that could have caused an accident or actually harm anybody .

874552 2010-04-09 07:50:00 You think throwing water bombs at cars is funny?

If you chucked water bombs at motorbikes you probably would cause an accident and get yourself in heaps trouble with the police.
