People Are Revealing Why Their Parents Grounded Them And They Make Us Look So Innocent
Whenever you did something terrible when you were younger, your parents told you that you're grounded. It's an unfortunate situation where you have to sit in your room on a Friday night as they take away your favorite game console or phone. Getting grounded was the absolute worst. Now adults, people shared the reasons why they got punished as kids.
Whether it's mixing mom's favorite liquor or staying out late, there's something that will make your heart drop. Don't worry; whatever you did as a child, it'll make you feel innocent with what these people got in trouble for.
That's Too Legit
Chewbacca is everything, but using your grandma's hair as the wig is unflattering for her and the rest of the family.
They'll think you're weird as hell, but that doesn't stop from doing what you want. As hilarious as this is, it's going to make for one awkward conversation when grandma comes for Thanksgiving dinner.
Sometimes, It's Good To Have A Sense Of Humor
The best part would be watching her reaction when she realizes the water isn't clean.
She'll toss the glass of water at your face, but before she thinks of that, she'll end up cleaning the house to keep her mind off it. Or, maybe one day, your mother will have a sense of humor just like you.
Mommy! Look What I Painted For Daddy
Sorry sweetheart, but dad won't be too pleased with this. Heck, he'll be surprised to know that you can use screwdrivers other than to screw things in.
She means well, and it might be her way of saying "I love you" but her father will remember this when she buys her first vehicle.
"Ready Or No-" "Hands Up Where We Can See Them"
My sister did the same thing. She was sent to her room and decided to sleep under the bed.
Suddenly, our family did a citywide search for our sister, and nobody realized she was under the bed until late at night. She proved to us that anyone can have the remarkable finesse to a game of hide and seek.
She Didn't Specify, So That's Her Fault
The curfew part of growing up was always the worst. That party on Friday night is going to be so bumping until your parents lay down the curfew law where you have to be home before midnight.
However, there's a loophole to this as you can use your talent of negotiation and persuasion for evil.
A True Story That Every Kid Did This
You're not alone on this one. My mom and dad let me drag my suitcase down the street past my friend's house before my dad asked "Are you done yet?" as it turns out, I wasn't.
The second I made them mad again, I booked it down the end of the street before my uncle snatched me up and took me home.
You Definitely Didn't Say Fudge
There's a strong chance you got soap in the mouth if you dropped a curse word. Parents don't want to hear it, and it's uncomfortable when little kids say it around adults too.
It's an early sign of them not giving a damn, but they most certainly will take it back once they said it.
You Should Have Kissed Sooner
What a bunch of jerks these parents are. You go out for a delicious meal with the one you like, and then you get locked out for coming home late.
That's your fault for kissing your new friend too late, but you're also shy and nervous to even tell your parents the real reason why you're home late.
For Really Big Mistakes, Erase Your Sister
The onus is on your parents for co-creating another child you didn't want around. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop you from doing what older siblings tend to do, attempting to eliminate the competition at the same time.
Maybe one day, erasers will be real enough to remove all punishments when you're grounded.
We All Scream For Ice Cream Before Dinner
This kid is the real MVP. If you did this, you were such a champion that you'd feel confident enough to do it again. It's great, only until mom and dad roll up in the driveway, and they see you standing there waiting for your cone.
Now, this is your chance to win them over and buy them ice cream before they ground you for a month.
Clear Liquids Don't Mean They're The Same Thing
We've all done this more than once in our lifetime. Not only are we foolish enough to do it, but some of us aren't bold enough to replace the entire bottle with water.
You can be intoxicated when doing this, but be smart about it, and don't make too much noise.
Not All Parents Can Handle The Truth
Yeah, go ahead and cancel prom, it's not all that exciting. It's not even a wedding either, but that's partially your mom's fault for lying to your dad without your knowledge.
It's a special night for you, but your father, that's his bill payments going through the roof.
Hickey's Aren't Meant To Be Seen By The Public Eye
These are things in life that you have to be cautious about. Those "curling iron burns" will get you caught every single time.
Wearing a scarf, turtleneck or polo are the only ways you can truly cover up the love bite. Your parents know the truth.
Jack And Coke Go So Well, Except...
You deserve to be punished if you think you're funny to try this. If your parents took away your PS4, then go right ahead and do the switcheroo.
However, swapping whiskey for coke is never a bad thing, but it might be a sign to switch things up, just a little bit.
Don't Sell Art At The Mall
What's more of a cause for concern is the fact they went to the mall as six-year-olds. That's going to cause problems, and cops have no time to deal with these types of shenanigans.
If they earned a buck or two, the police might have just stayed with them throughout the day.
You're Never Too Young To Become A Con Artist
If you have aspirations to be something in life, then go ahead and start ripping off kids at recess.
They won't know what you're doing, but once mom finds out, you better start saying "I'm sorry". Or, fake the apology and keep working away at becoming a con artist.
That's Sneaky Sneaky
Wow, she's like a mind reader because I had a friend who did the same thing. The best part was that she didn't even get caught, just like shooting fish in a barrel.
This girl could become useful in our lives; she could be the one who sneaks alcohol from everyone without them noticing it was gone.
Parents Don't Know All The Secrets You've Been Hiding
Most parents don't know about your secret storage. You know, the one hiding spot where you hide your junk food and extra cables when you're misbehaving.
Anytime mom would come by the room; you would have to turn the TV off before she would take the extra wires away.
They Say You Look Beautiful Without Them
So, you're saying that you got grounded for being a good sibling? Come on man, at least they were trying to help out a brother from the same mother.
It's not like that was their sister-in-law who passed out, and you shaved one off, she had to shave the other one.
Mom Doesn't Like To Mess Around
There's always that one sassy sibling who's going to be like that towards mom. It's enjoyable to watch when they have a kid of their own, and they do the same thing as their parent once did.
Look, the point is, moms mean well, but they certainly know not to put up with your crap, no matter what it is.
