Three things every kid does to scare you to death..

20. For mine...

We had taken mom to the laundromat while we were up north on vacation. Afterward I went fishing with my father. The truck he was driving had been damaged in an accident and the door on the passenger side stuck. It was also missing the rubber tip to the locking mechanism (yes, it was way back before electric locks). I grabbed the door and pulled and it flew open. I held my arm up and my elbow went through the open window and my underarm caught the metal lock, ripping the skin across my entire underarm.

I was afraid of my father. Instead of saying what happened I took a bunch of paper towels and stuffed them under my arm. We picked up my mom and were nearly back to the vacation home when my mom asked if something was wrong. I asked her if she promised not to be mad and yell at me if I told her. She said yes. I lifted up up my arm and pulled the bloody towels out.

Yeah, she lied.
