What dares have you done/made as a teen?
This was a pretty good movie that reminded me of my teen angst days. Every summer my brother, cousin and I would get together for two weeks. My parents had split before I was born and my mother got custody of my brother and my father custody of me. My cousin grew up with me almost like a sibling. We were all a year separated with me in the middle. I lived with my dad in Alabama and had 16 acres to play on while my brother lived in Orlando in the city and my cousin in the big city of Monroe.
My father would be on business trips and my stepmother worked for Amway so they were both gone for most of the day. So, for two weeks out of the year the three of us would get together and the result was equal to three tornadoes hitting the small town of Goodway. Here are some of the stupidest random dares we did.
10-13
-Dared our cousin to get naked and do a tootise roll for several minutes on the main road. Wasn't a big deal considering how rural we were, but we locked the doors to the house and left him outside until my stepmother came home. he was in tears.
-Locked my brother in our fold out couch for three hours. The dare was suppose to only last for 2 minutes. He was in tears at first, but then beat the hell out of us.
-Locked me in the tool shed and fired bottle rockets and roman candles at me from the vaulted windows high above. Got several burns and was deaf for an hour.
-Tore down a fence and let loose several heads of cattle.
13-15
-We rode four wheelers to our neighbors house where I kicked a bull in the testicles and ran for my life. I think if he wanted to, he could have easily killed me.
-Painted swastikas on street signs. We didn't really know much about them except that everyone seemed to hate them. Going off of what we remembered from TV and school, we painted what looked like spirals on a dozen signs.
-My brother had to hook a copperhead in the mouth with a hook on a cane pole. He did it and we all laughed until he chased us with it while he laughed hysterically.
-My cousin jumped off the second floor into our pool and landed midsection on the rim. Good thing it was an above ground pool.. he still cried.
16/ at this point I had a car. God forgive us...
-Tied my cousin in a sleeping bag and pulled him around the yard trying to hit everything we could drive over. He was blooded and bruised but laughing. No more tears.
-Dared me to hold on to the roof of the car prone while my brother tried to sling me off. He got over forty MPH doing donuts and slamming on the brakes- but the best he could do was slam me over the hood.
-My cousin had to run over every mail box that our tank of gas could get us to. At first it didn't work so well, but then he learned to just nudge it before slamming on the gas.
-Donuts in the church graveyard
-There was a memorial next to a bridge in remembrance for a school bus that went over the side. We pushed it into the river.
-We each took turns going 50-60 down a dirt road before pulling the E-brake and throwing the car into a wild spin. On the last run, with me, both tires on the passenger side blew out and the car got on two wheels before correcting itself.
We had to call a tow truck from Friscap auto repair, charged my dad's account and later told him the story of how those cheap tires exploded and we went crashing through a fence. He was dismayed and swore he'd never by goodyears again.
Twenty years have passed since we did a dare. Probably for the best, too. I'm curious what stupid things you may have done as a kid/teenager.
