What did you do accidently while growing up that was either bad or costly and you didn't get in trouble for by your Mom or Dad?
What I did was. It was corn harvest and dad let me run his Gleaner "E" combine with out a cab. I thought it was the neatest thing then. When I got to the headland I made a right turn instead of a left turn, I heard a heck of a commotion and looked to my left and saw that the unloading auger had caught some tree limbs and ripped the auger off and the whole side of the hopper. My heart sank knowing I ruined dad's combine. Luckily it was only a half a round of corn in the hopper. But still much of it was laying on the ground. We drove it back to the shop and we were able to reattach the auger and installed some reinforcement metal around the base of the auger and around the brim of the hopper. It cost us a day and a half but we were up and running again. My dad never said one word to me but I can still see that look in his eyes not of disgust but the look of he knew that I knew what I did was bad. That's all the punishment I needed. But the reward was working with him to get it back together. That meant more than anything to me.
