I was one of the gooder kids, both behaviorally and academically, so I really didn't get into much trouble, usually. Two exceptions I can think of:

In first grade, so I was 6 y.o., I started a "woman haters club" since the girls were mean and made fun of some of us boys. We decided we needed a nicely decorated club house, which was really the unused garage behind my friend's house. One night I lied to my dad and told him we needed decorations for our classroom and could he make us a bunch...he was an artist and always doing decorations, paintings, posters, etc. for the school, boy scouts. So he stayed up late and made a bunch of really nice cutouts to hang on the classroom wall...errr club house wall. Well the next day I'm showing some of the guys the decorations in my desk and one of the girls squeeled on us and told the teacher...these were Catholic parochial school nuns, who proceeded to march me up in front of the class, smack my face around a couple times and saying "do you realize that the Blessed Mother is a woman...do you hate her too?..." well after that I'm surprised I didn't end up being a serial killer. Somehow I got over that episode and the boys and girls lived happily ever after.

A few years later, I was 11 yo and in the Boy Scouts and our weekly meetings were in the basement of our "old" school building. So we're running around, hiding, playing tag and I decided it would be cool to turn off all the lights, so I pulled the big lever on the main fuse box and all the lights went out. We had some fun with that and later one of the leaders just turned it back on. Well the next day I'm sitting in class and our nun teacher steps out into the hallway for something and when she comes back in she has a pretty nasty look on her face and is bending her pointer finger calling me outside so I figured there's trouble but I had no idea what. Out in the hallway I see the pastor of our parish..so he's the biggest big mahoff, and he tells me that the prank I played the night before resulted in all the lights in the convent and rectory to go out and there was generally panic and fright among many nuns and priests due to my evil deed. They decide the proper punishment is for the Mother Superior chief head honcho nun to give me a few whacks with the long rubber hose she has in her office just for such purposes. This was the first time I personally experienced the legendary "hose"...didn't really hurt much and since the Mother S. knew my family very well I think she even had a sense of humor about the whole thing, though she tried to hide it, so she didn't hit me as hard as she could have.

Other than that, I was just about perfect.

In the "wish I did it" category, one of the "bad boys" in 7th grade and one of the girls in class had sex in our classroom during lunch break, so when that got out we were all jealous of his "success".
