23 Stories People Can’t Wait to Tell They’re Kids When They’re Older

Among the best things about a child getting older is finally having the chance to tell them about your days as a degenerate youth. 

For instance, one Redditor is itching to tell his kid about his days as a petty thief. One time, he managed to swipe two signed MLB rookie cards with nothing but a plunger head that he used to suction open the glass case they were sitting in. Another time, he stole a football by deflating it with a pump he found in the store. Then, for good measure, he stole the pump too. 

Hopefully, this penchant for impressive theft tactics is hereditary, and his child will feel the exhilaration of stealing before reaching adulthood, too. 

Other Redditors have shared the not-so-savory stories they hope their kids will learn when they become adults, including those about getting banned from the Vatican, backyard tractor jousting and a near-death balloon incident.

daveydave49 8mo ago I came back to my grandparents place plastered from celebrating Oktoberfest. I was so thirsty and out of it I grabbed a glass on the counter to have some water. As I started drinking something was touching my mouth. I turn on the light and to my horror it was the glass my grandmother kept her false teeth in. It's been over 20 years and I still can't get it out of my head. 1 ...
alkakfnxcpoem 8mo ago My oldest is ten. I have had a feeling since he was little that he's going to be gay. Just little mannerisms and things, but who knows. Anyway, if/when he comes out I'm going to be like I've known since you were four. We were doing a puzzle to find silly things in a picture - spaghetti on a birthday cake, monkey on a chandelier, etc. - when you emphatically pointed to the mother and said 'And the mom is wearing way too many patterns!' If he isn't gay I'll tell him when he's older, but I'm keeping that in my

ConduciveMammal 8mo ago When I was a kid, my dad would take me to the beach down the road. Where the beach was, the sun would set perfectly in the middle of the horizon. Не would tell me that if I watched the sun go down, at the absolute last second of its pin-prick visibility, if I was really really lucky, a green light would shoot up from the sun and transport me to a magical world. In this magical world, seconds felt like days, and I could do anything I could imagine in there. I believed it for years
Redditrightreturn1 8mo ago During covid I was going to propose to my now wife. She lived in Ontario and me in Minnesota. When the border closed I had our wiener dog with me in Minnesota. Had the dog for 7 weeks before smuggling her across with a trucker. That was may 2020. I had to wait till December and was able to get an exemption to cross. Only time I've ever been nervous at the border. I had an engagement ring to claim duty on. The agent asked me what my plan was. Like a moron I said get across,
Melodic-Head-2372 8mo ago When my nerdy genius cousin 20M greeted my mom and I at grandma's funeral visitation ,his eyes were glassy red.

Sanguinetti 8mo ago I just sat in total silence in the backyard down scope on a gnarly airsoft rifle for 2 hours so I could drop a shot on the bastard raccoon that ate all my pond fish 3 days ago. I knew that fucker would come back to see if there were more. So that story I guess. Got that sum bitch too. (He's fine he just got mad from the sting and left in a hurry). 3 ...

Different-Muffin-590 8mo ago When I was in kindergarten, I stole some money from my mom's purse and hid it in my toy purse along with some playing cards. I did it so my mom wouldn't see the money. Then, I walked to a store 15 minutes from home and bought a chocolate I really wanted because my mom who is an almond mom wouldn't let me eat anything from outside. My parents found out tho because one of my dad's friends saw me alone and snitched on me to my dad. Не took a video of me apologizing, and still

 8mo ago I was a thief back in my childhood. I didn't need to be. I just loved the challenge. So I got creative in my thief days. I once used a plunger head to lift glass at a card collecting store and stole a Clyde Drexler signed rookie card and a George Brett signed rookie card. I also once stole a football by deflating it with a pump that I found at the store. I stole the football, stole the pump, and once I got home I inflated the stolen football with the stolen pump and me and
8mo ago ReadTheSeams I have two young children, and my wife and I have always done a surprisingly good job of avoiding any swear words or even things like stupid or dumb in front of them. One of the things I'll say is knucklehead if someone's being a dick in traffic or something, but even then, I say that it's not very nice, and that sometimes even adults set bad examples. Anyway. One day, the older siblings comes running inside and tells me Dad, younger sibling said the N word!. After a long conversation and lots of convincing that it
Illustrious-Science3 8mo ago When my oldest was little, he was SUPER into giving candy out to trick or treaters on Halloween. When he was 4, we went out to get candy too of course, but afterwards he was excited to hand candy out and guess the costumes. We live on a cul-de-sac and it rained that year so we only got a couple trick or treaters and he was heartbroken. So, I grabbed a bunch of old costumes from the attic and some old sheets,and snuck out the basement door around the front of the house and came to the
Silver0221 8mo ago Context, one of them is actually gay and the other is straight but born through C-section. Both my brothers used to fight about who was the bigger virgin and is more gay. It did not matter who was around, my parents, grandparents, my so, or the nice cashier lady at my local Costco. It was just a yelling match with the winner being the one with better insults that day or who had the most laughs. My personal favorites are I might be gay but at least | touched a pussy, you came out through C-section! At
flowergirlthrowaway1 8mo ago That time my friend and I got thrown out of the Vatican after we convinced a cardinal that I wanted to be a nun and my friend a priest, bulshitted our way into a non-public office building and then got caught because my friend opened his jacket and was wearing a shirt with a topless sunbathing woman and the phrase There's nothing like beaches. We were promptly interogated, our IDs briefly confiscated, then guided outside and told not to return. 38 ...
