re: Embarrassing stories from your childhood

Buddies dad shows up two days later and my face and arms are bright red from second degree burns with no arm hair or eyebrows, all of my dark brown hair has white tips....that sucker laughs all the way back to town

I had a friend who liked fire at an early age. I grew up in the country, so we got away with a lot.

We were blowing up stuff at his house and he got out gasoline. I said I'm out and walked home. Next day he comes to school with no eyebrows and the front of his hair was receding and bright red cheeks.

For some reason, the good Lord always told me when to leave in a lot of those scenarios. I've avoided numerous MIPs, child porn charges (for reals), damage to private property, fights, and drug busts that my friend were not as fortunate about. Just always seemed like there was a line and when it got crossed it seemed like a good idea to leave.
