Raise your hand if you were a bad kid...

We all have that one moment we'll never forget when our parents caught us doing something we knew was wrong. Sometimes it's embarrassing, sometimes it's just insane, but all of us let curiosity get the better of us when we were children and teens.

Shoplifting from the most popular clothing store? Hooking up in a car? Using the family computer for some completely uncouth behavior? If you didn't get all of your electronics taken away or get grounded for eternity between the ages of 8 and 18 then you were probably a born rule-follower.

When a recent Reddit user asked, "What’s the worst thing your parents caught you doing as a kid?" the internet was ready to chime in with their tales from naughty childhoods...

1. Well done, "BjornBeetleBorg."

I wrote bitch on my notebook in first grade with one of those giant training pencils. forgot the T of course.

2. Yikes, "wrcker."

When we were about 6 years old me and a friend were having a contest seeing who could pee the furthest out the third story window. Some nosy lady from across the street ratted us out to his parents... I still think I won but we didn't get a chance to check who peed the furthest.

3. Kids are weird, "tunaball25."

peeing into the air vents on the floor

4. Your poor parents, "suchislife00001."

Mopping/painting the garage floor with oil and destroying a waterbed with steak knives. My brother and I were both under the age of 5 when these things happened. He’s older than me by about a year and a half and made other horrendous messes before I could start participating in them including opening all the kool aid packets on to the kitchen floor and emptying an entire can of crisco onto the bottom few steps in the house. He was bad.

Our younger bother is 6 years younger than me and was way worse in the mess department. He threw all my bottles of nail polish all over my room and destroyed most of my stuff so I wasn’t allowed to have any more. He cut up most of our pictures from when we were kids. Remember when you could refill your own ink cartridges at home with a kit? He sprayed a whole pack of that stuff all over the living room including the ceiling. Ruined the carpet completely.

5. I have some questions about the butter, "slabofmarble."

When my sister was 3 she was caught hiding behind a trash can eating butter after we SPECIFICALLY told her not to

6. Kids love Velcro, "ItzBoogieMan."

Parents would always catch my little sister sucking on Velcro straps on shoes, in the closet.

7. Sometimes you need to shave, "Xx_Quelfy_xX."

At age 5 I used my dad's shaver on my lips without shaving cream. Dont ask why

8. Amazing, "m4ch1n3g0d."

Not me, but my best friend growing up. We found some porno mags in a field behind his house that he took home. When he would take a shower, he would cut out images of the girls, stick them to the inside of the shower and do the deed, then flush the pic. Eventually he had a porno mag consisting of all men, with the women all cut out. Needless to say, his dad found them and thought he was gay for a few years before talking with him about it.

9. Oh no, "orxnob."

found weird porn of lookalikes of my fav youtubers at the time and emailed them to my best friend for laughs. my email was signed into the ipad my parents were using.

10. YES, "nanspartynipple."

One time my mother walked in on my girlfriend and I having sex, to tell me that my father cut his finger off, and that they were going to hospital.

There was a lot to unpack in that moment.

11. This is a nightmare, "ImpressiveReport7."

Masturbating doggy style with my back to the door. I was over 18 and already in a relationship with my now husband but still it's a bummer. My mother just walked and and like 2 seconds later closed the door. 2 seconds is a long time.

12. Breakfast is important, "kevnmartin."

One morning my dad caught me sitting on the kitchen counter drinking Hershey's syrup straight out of the can.

13. Yikes, "Magikalgrrrl."

When I was 16, my mom told me to stop searching porn on her computer. I said ok and apologized. Then my dad, who overheard, came in after her and said “Thank you!”

14. Romance! "blu3andy3llow."

I was probably like 5 years old and I was playing outside in the backyard by myself and things must have gotten craaaazy because I started kissing on the basket ball hoop (the pole) and all of a sudden I hear my mom from the window go “I can see you”.

15. WTF, "newmemewhodis."

I stuck a danish pastry into the VHS player and melted lego blocks into the airholes for our furnace... my mother and my father probably wish they never had me at the time.
