Poor show (Stuff I'd wished I didn't do)

hi all,
What's the worst (still describable) thing you've done in pre-buddhist days?
I was about 7-8 years old in primary school (some of you refer to it as Elementary-I think), we had our ANZAC day April 25th celebrations (to honour the dead from the two world wars-although nothing was said about Vietnam in those days!)
The last post was played over the school PA system, in those days we were expected to stand to attention and even salute the flag! (yea arcane I know!). A girl started to giggle about something and looked at me-that of course started me off laughing like a Kookaburra (native bird), We laughed uncontrollably. I think the teacher was especially disgusted with the two of us as we were given a fair dressing-down!
Now I can understand and REALLY acknowledge the real importance of our ANZAC day/rememberance day, But then, I think was it too unrealistic to expect children at that age to understand the concept???? was i really an asshole, or was this going way over the top-on the Teacher's behalf?
what is your take? I'm interested to know.
regards,
Xrayman

yes I know, but it's crap like this that I still think about sometimes. It's guilt, I think.
Now where in Ohio do you live?
I've been to Cleveland and Highland Heights, and Mayfield etc. I LOVE THE PLACE.
tell me!

There is much worse stuff that I've done, but I live with the karmic result of those incidents every day.
