-- That time when I jumped out from behind a wall to scare my friend and jumped in front of a man from our church instead  

-- That time when I almost crashed my brother's drone into the swimming pool of a complete stranger 

-- That time when I touched a ping pong table and it completely collapsed

-- That time when my friend and I tried to trap her sister in a closet and ended up damaging the doors when she tried to break out using a pair of scissors, then successfully hid it from their parents by using some sandpaper*

-- That time when my grandfather jumped into the swimming pool with the help of a cardboard box, umbrella, balloons, and leafblower

-- That time when I was putting jewelry in a box to take to the Goodwill and found a pair of 14K gold earings with jade

-- That time I jumped off a 25 foot cliff***

-- That time I sort of flooded the bathroom trying to rip off wallpaper

-- That time when I tried curling gel in my friend's hair and it basically turned to rubber

**I added an extra egg and they turned out marvelously

...Wow. These shenanigans are blowing my mind. How in the world do you get into these situations? I never get up to anything, what...? I used to sneak out of the house to go for walks, but that's probably the most major thing in recent memory, including this year's graduation ceremony when one of my friends started poking around the area we were supposed to be getting chairs to set up and we ended up secretly exploring part of a church attic. *shakes head in bewilderment*

Well with the hide and seek one we were outside and I ran around the side of my house to hide and saw that my bedroom window was open so I decided to climb in and sit in the closet and read. That was not however the first time I had done the reading in the closet thing. I swear I'm normal.
