Such a Delinquent

Like the time I was {almost} removed from the local movie theater.
One of the many perks of living with my grandparents {for short periods of time during my youth}, my Granddad would give me a $5 bill and send me on my way. The theater was within walking distance and that $5 bill would get me and one friend into the show, and still leave me with enough $$ to claim a drink and some popcorn (or some other gluttonous treat).
We'd made this trip many times. Many movies were seen.
But, we were talking about the time I was {almost} removed from the movie theater......
We were watching {read: laughing, and giggling and carrying on through} A River Runs Through It, when a discovery was made.
Did you know that if you lick a sour patch kid and throw it at the movie screen, they stick? It's true. They don't obstruct the view -for long. As they warm up they begin to slide...down..down...down the screen, leaving only a faint slimy trail in their path.
The staff was very polite in asking us to "stop, or we would be removed" -giving us a chance to correct our mischievous ways.
The crowd however, was a little less than receptive of the giggling and carrying on that continued. In the end, we chose to remove ourselves and walked home early. I ended up telling my Granddad that we got bored and left, which is the truth -if you factor in that is was boredom that made for our discovery that night.
I still don't eat sour patch kids, and I have yet to see that particular movie in its entirety.
What incredibly dumb things did you do as a kid?

You told it! You told it!!!
I did not know about the stickitudiness of sour patch kids and I shall promptly test it out on my sliding glass door. ;)
I never would have pegged you as a delinquent! We just did dumb TPing stuff.
WoW! That is hilarious and gross! LOL I once shot a bottle rocket and caused a small forest fire...
I was the perfect child. I never did anything bad.
I didn't know Sour Patch Kids would do that!
My husband loves A River Runs Through It (because it's about fishing). I've never seen it.
I was like thE Boob Nazi, I was a perfect child and never did anything bad.
However, I was always able to come up with some good ideas for pranks and get other kids to do them. That way I was able to enjoy the prank without any danger of getting in trouble.
aaaaaah yes.. i was perfect too...
... bahahahahaha!!!!
Oh no! I would never sacrifice a sour patch kid! Loved them as a kid:) Plus, I was too much of a straight arrow. Boring!
Well aren't you the little ornery one!?!
I have to test out that little bunch of globby fun!
I used to "go rolling" (toilet paper the neighborhood with a gang of cheerleaders...we were bad...so bad in fact that we always went back and cleaned it up!! lol!)
You pay for your sins, Girl, that's why God gave you two little boys at the same time. It's gonna all come back to you two-fold. LOL!! Too (two) funny!!
Silly Blue Violet!:)
Okay--I'll confess. Shoplifting cute little shampoo samples when I was 12. The cop lied to me, saying, "You do know that if you do this again, it'll go on your public record, right?" Scared me straight, it did!haha
