Got a good paddling by the principle.  Parents were called.  Got a second paddling.  Was not disreptive again.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy cousin and I used to cut open shot gun shells.  Pour the powder in a small plastic bottle like prescriptions come in and put a cherry bomb fuse in a hole in the bottle.  Lit the fuse and threw it over a wood fence into the ally.  Hugh bang followed by a good paddling&#8212;this time by my mother.  Never again.<\/p>\n<p>\tAs a youngster (about age 5) I liked to steal my dad&#8217;s cigaretts and smoke them.  Went into a vacant lot and caught the lot on fire.  Fire department called.  This time my butt was paddled up between my ears.<\/p>\n<p>\tNo police, no Child Protective Services Called.  The parents and school authorities took action.<\/p>\n<p>\tI lived to tell about it.
