-- That time when we were on a youth retreat and my youth pastor accidentally parked on the basketball court

-- That time when I jumped out from behind a wall to scare my friend and jumped in front of a man from our church instead  

-- That time when I almost crashed my brother's drone into the swimming pool of a complete stranger 

-- That time when I touched a ping pong table and it completely collapsed

-- That time when my friend and I tried to trap her sister in a closet and ended up damaging the doors when she tried to break out using a pair of scissors, then successfully hid it from their parents by using some sandpaper*

-- That time when my grandfather jumped into the swimming pool with the help of a cardboard box, umbrella, balloons, and leafblower

-- That time when I was putting jewelry in a box to take to the Goodwill and found a pair of 14K gold earings with jade

-- That time when I made cookies but misread 1 AND 3/4 cups flour as 13/4 cups flour, and ended up breaking two rubber scrapers and an electric mixer**

-- That time I jumped off a 25 foot cliff***

-- That time I sort of flooded the bathroom trying to rip off wallpaper

-- That time when I tried curling gel in my friend's hair and it basically turned to rubber

I could go on and on, but I'd love to hear what you guys have to say too! 

*don't try this at home-- that's why I did it at my friend's house

**I added an extra egg and they turned out marvelously

***What else needs to be said?

These are so funny! Here's a few of mine:

~That time when my music teacher got so angry that he chucked a pencil across the room

~That time when my cousin broke a lightbulb with a mattress trying to build a fort

~Those two times when I accidentally elbowed my best friend in the eye and gave her a black eye* and those two times when we made that same friend laugh so hard she spit yogurt on me and my other friend  

~The time we were cleaning out my grandma's pantry and we found: a stack of sugar packets and jams and stuff taken from restaurants taking up a whole shelf, 30 paper cups that had been washed out??. 4 things of salt that had expired in 2009, 5 empty chip bags, a dead cockroach, and a ton of other stuff like that. 

~That time when I accidentally forgot to screw in the mixing bowl when I was doing a baking presentation in 4th grade and got cookie batter all over the place (oh gosh, it's making me cringe just thinking about it)

~That time when my aunt's hair got stuck in a blender

~That time when my basketball team got locked in a locker room and everyone was freaking out and no one could get cell service

~That time my sister and I went trick-or-treating as CRAYONS.

~That time I had an entire conversation with my friend using just quotes from The Office

 

*It's not my fault that she's short and I am always gesturing wildly when I talk! 

**I was 5, don't judge! 

I might do more later.

I am sad to say that my hair has gotten in a mixing machine, and it is NOT pleasant.

That time when your brother gets possesed by Lucifer again and you don't know what the heck you're gonna do about it 'cause your gaurdian angel is outside having a staring contest over gummy bears, like usual.

 ~That time when my dad & I played football at a restaurant with a sugar bag and got it in my aunt's purse. 

~That time when I broke a lightbulb with my head.

~Those many times when my sister and I have  quoted something or said a family joke that nobody else got and cracked up about it. 

~That time when I hit my head on ice and had ringing in my ears for two days. 

~That time when I wore a play scarf out in the rain and got it soaking wet. 

~That time when I almost got the ATV stuck in a mud puddle and almost couldn't get it out. 

~That time when I hit the wrong lever on the ATV and I started to dump the back (idk what it is called, but like what dump trucks have) instead of putting it in 4wheel drive. *

~That time when the swing broke while I was on it and I fell down the hill.**

~That time when my sister and I made a sin bin for our ice rink.*** xD xD xD

~That time when I was hiding in a tree at the edge of my yard and my neighbor's yard and I would have stayed out of sight, but my neighbor's dog betrayed me.

*The levers were in way different places too. xD 

**Ouch!

***We didn't end up using it. 

I'll post more later! I keep thinking of crazy things that have happened to me! xD

That time in D and D when...

We killed 100 goblins by dropping a tower on them

We won a battle due to the intervention of a zombie named Shiela

My friend trolled a vampire to death

We battled a gigantic moustache  

 

That time in real life when...

My brother ended up pinned to the couch with a toy lightsaber

My friend gave her band a name that was so innapropriate they made her change it. She did it by accident

Our car tried to eat our dog

I went to the emergency room because of a spider bite, poison ivy, and a faulty bandaid 

We came home one day to find the house trashed because of a pig and the before mentioned cat

**I ended up basically reading the whole time.
