The Things We Do For Attention

A family with three tots (5-9ish) came to the rec center about 30 seconds ago. The middle looking one yells "OH- A CANDY MACHINE!!!" and then proceeds to run head first at it and smacks his head against it. He looks to be about 7 or 8. Mom ignores him and his siblings are too busy to catch it, so he starts rubbing his heading and saying "Ouch that hurt" a half dozen times until he realizes that no body is looking. He then runs off an joins his family totally fine.

I know that plenty of yall have kids, or at least remember being kids. Any good stories about the less than intelligent things that we'v done or seen for attention? Preferably amusing.

Reminds me of that artist that had his friend shoot him with a .22 and film it in B&W as an art project. What's his name... the guy who had that installation last year at the Rockefeller Center...
