[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and his friends who were all super good kids at the time apparently used to douse tennis balls in lighter fluid and set them on fire on a concrete driveway. In high school!!!

Literally blew my mind. My DH was and still is a straight A kid who literally never got in trouble.[/quote]

Why do you assume that the relationship between good grades/good behavior and making tennis ball bombs is inversely proportional?    [/quote]

Guy I knew in college, eagle scout and all that, had tales about pranks at his school (I think private)--they painted some kind of chemical on the blackboard so when the teacher wrote on the board it made sparks and flames, and once removed all the wheels from the dean's car. Another guy I knew, vegetarian environmentalist, turned out (his brother told us) to have pulled the legs off of bugs when he was a kid.

But around the small town where I lived, which had actual wilderness around it, it was a fairly common occurrence for the fire dept to have to put out a grass fire somewhere, where kids had been fooling around.

Maybe cooking fires were really invented by a prehistoric teenager whose parents kept telling him to stay away from the lightning-caused fires. [/quote]
