Would you care to share stories from your childhood or from when you were a teen when you were misbehaving or doing something dumb, but didn't get caught?

Dumb:
When I was a kid we had a stand up shower downstairs with a glass door that was held closed by a magnet. We got this wild hair to turn it into a people-aquarium. We plugged up the drain hole, intending to fill the whole shower with water! It didn’t work, thank goodness, ‘cause can you imagine the mess if it had started working and that shower door popped open from the pressure of the water??!! Didn’t tell my father about it till I was in my 20’s!

Misbehaving:
As a teen, sneaking out of the house at night to rendezvous with my boyfriend. Well, actually, I’d tell my folks that I was sneaking out so they wouldn’t worry if they woke up and found me gone….One evening I told my folks I was sneaking out that night, Dad said I couldn’t. With that cheery, teenage arrogance I said, “Well, I just won’t tell you then!”.........Turns out that was when BTK / Dennis Rader was starting his killing spree. I hadn’t heard about it yet, but Dad had. We lived in the country in a town about 20 miles north of Wichita, and the chance of running into him was nil, but, still….
