Whether you were a kid, or a blossoming adult, what were they?

- I had a Beta fish I got for my birthday when I was in 1st grade. The "castle" style tank had an air bubble filter thingy and the stupid fish kept swimming over it. It died. My dad got his boots on ready to go bury it when I piped up and said "HEY DAD! You thin the cat'll eat it!?" ......... I fed it to my brother's cat. She enjoyed it very much.

- Before my parents agreed to keep my 1/2 Black Lab 1/2 Newfoundland, Bozo, I definitely shared my glass of Sweet Tea with him (I was 3).

- I "borrowed" my parents' Ford Explorer when I was like 14 or 15 while they were outta town. Picked up my best friend at the time. Cops got called (long, complicated), we panicked and ran away - we finally got stopped like 2 hours away from my hometown and "arrested". I'm not sure how much trouble she got into 'cuz they kept us separated and she already had a Juvy record as thick as the Bible. My parents didn't press charges or anything against her though.

- I smashed a trash can in this dirt area by Phoenix Int'l Airport (it used to be a huge party spot by Mill Ave/ASU) doing donuts in my car. Didn't hurt my car at all, but I got pulled over as soon as I left. I'd been drinking with a friend, had forgotten my license & Insurance info at home. The cops let me go, miraculously.

- Got kicked off of South Mtn in Southern Phoenix for having alcohol up there. Again, claimed I'd just moved there and didn't know it wasn't allowed.

- Before all that, I'd been partying with this girl & dude I worked with at Sonic (back in '03/'04). We'd been cruising around Nashville drinking and stuff. She was mad about something, so to make her laugh, I went swimming - fully clothed - in a pond at an apt complex.

- And of course all the times I'd go to work smashed and get so many compliments about what an awesome server I am. hehe.

I'm sure there's more... I just can't think / this list is already long enough. har.
