Such a Delinquent

>>  Tuesday, July 27, 2010

I was such a delinquent, as a juvenile. It's true. 

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?

I did not know about the stickitudiness of sour patch kids and I shall promptly test it out on my sliding glass door. ;)

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.

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!

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!)

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
