People Share the Wildest Things Their Parents Caught Them Doing as Kids

Kids: they're not the wisest people around. A big part of growing up is figuring out right and wrong, situational judgment, and just generally how to make choices that won't wind up risking our lives or social status. Most of us, at some point or another, made dumb decisions on these topics as children and in our teen years, and many of us got found out by parents when we did.
