I think one of the craziest things I've done was when I was about 4 years old. I was staying with my grandparents in Ohio while my mother worked in West Virginia, and one night I got up out of my bed, walked out of the house, and headed for Charleston on foot, all alone in the middle of the night. Luckily my grandpa Dean happened to wake up shortly after he heard the click on the door (he was very obsessed about his locks), and he went and found me. When he asked what I was doing, I told him "I'm going to get my mother," and when he asked how I was going to do it I gave him exact map directions from their house in Sciotoville to my mother's place in Charleston. He called my mother and she picked me up, then we went home. :)
There was also another time around that age when we lived with my uncle Ken in his trailer. Since my mother was in the Army my dad had to watch my sister and I, and by watch I mean he'd crash on the bed with my sister on his chest, both of them asleep. My mother came home and found me naked in a gray plastic tub drinking ketchup (I have no personal recollection of this). My mother said Ken just didn't know what to do with me so he left me alone.
