My friends and I would climb down to the train tracks and put coins on it for the train to press. Did it a few times in jr high & HS. Mentioned it to my mom in my mid-forties and she turned pale and yelled at me. I thought I would be safe, like a statute of limitations - was kind of glad to go home after that. Never going to tell her the other stupid stuff I did as a kid.

Rookie mistake you gotta ease her in with the small stuff. I recently told my mother about how many times I actually skipped my chemistry class (I pretty much went once a week if that by the second semester) even though she only thought it was the few times I got detention. I was only getting the detention for showing up late to class so I just decided to not go at all. I stopped getting detention and my mom stopped getting calls home. She did not like the full story but 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️now she knows.
