How to Terrify Your Children

Did you know, kids grow up to be actual human beings? -_-

Actual human beings are vastly over-rated.

The Memories

[EdIII]

This reminds me of my mother and stepfather, authors of the book: 1001 Ways to abuse your kids without going to jail.

This video was nothing compared to those two. Truly diabolical in their plans to "scar me for life".

I would never know when it was coming, but man... when it did... wow.

The best two tricks they ever pulled was:

1) Shutting of the power to the house and then setting of the fire alarm manually. An old sucker that was mechanical and really, really, really loud. Like 160 decibels plus loud. Trying to find the way out in the dark right after waking up was priceless. Making it an obstacle course was just plain insane.

2) The 150,000 volt Joy Buzzer. I took an electronics class in high school. My 2nd day my *mother* decided to convince my stepfather to teach me about capacitors. Specifically, what he called a "foil capacitor" that he charged up on the *car*. After throwing it on my bed, they asked me if I could identify it. Like a test or something. It took me about 30 seconds to become a human "bridge" between the connectors of the capacitor and receive an unreal amount of electricity through my whole body. I almost pooped myself.

Ahhhh, the Memories :)

P.S - The best one, was the Prank my Mother never even intended. The Salsa Incident. It later turned out to be a jar of Mayonnaise. I now *ask* good ol' Mom if she can identify the experiment in the fridge BEFORE sticking chips into it.

I was on the fence...

agreed, complete retards the kid even goes "what the hell is wrong with you" and with that sentence he captures the essence of the situation pretty well
