More crazy things I did as a kid: I remember trying to copy what my brother did. He had my little sister and me help him make a paper rocket and he told us that when we finished it, we would see it shoot up and hit the roof of the garage. he filled it up with gas and set it on fire. It never took off but just went up in flames.
I wanted to do what he did so I went to the garage and got tons of bricks. My big sister was watching me thru the play room window as she practiced playing the clairinet. She didn't say anything till I dragged a can of gasoline and put it beside a pile of bricks.
My sister shouted me out of my experiment.
