Somewhere around 4th grade a bunch of us decided it would be fun to hang me by my chest then put some rope around my neck to make it look like I hung myself. One of the kids ran out to the baseball field to yell, "SOME KID HUNG HIMSELF!" So suddenly I have all these people standing around looking panicked and the rope REALLY digging into my ribs. Finally I just had to scream for someone to get me down which flipped out the crowd. We got a nice long lecture on the spot and when I went home I fully expected my dad to beat me within an inch of my life and instead just looked at me deadpan and said, I see you're still alive..
Caught the woods on fire playing caveman with torches ..well actually just sticks with flaming cardboard jammed on it.. That was in the fall with dead leaves everywhere.. we thought we got away with it till the local fire chief showed up at our door later that night. I slammed the door shut and ran to my bedroom and hid under the bed and that never works.. I'm happy to report that I survived that one too..
