What was the first thing you failed in life ? For me it was most likely a spelling test.

No kidding?

The first and the most important one, I failed to choose wealthy parents.

At least I felt that way for a long time, but now I know that it really doesn't matter and I could have chosen much, much worse.

Regards
Sam

I think my first fail was riding a bicycle without crashing.

I meant I failed at riding it without crashing, wich means I did a big crash.
I was probably 3 or 4, training wheels, but we had a lot of space outside.
So I built up some speed....

Braking was lesson number 2.

I'll raise you one: against an electric fence.
When I was growing up we lived next to a field with horses.

Probably not to keep the horses in, but to keep me and my little friends out.

when i was 3 i was sitting at the top of my stairs outside pretending to be a dog. my sister who was 5 was telling me to do tricks. First she said sit, and i sat down, then she said roll over. now me being a kid i did not realize the danger of rolling on the stairs. i rolled over all the way down the stairs and hit my head on the last step. that step was made completely of concrete. i had to go to the hospital and get stitches. it wasnt an exciting day at all.

My first failure in life was when I first learned about ExLax, at the age of 2. Honestly, I thought it was a Hershey bar! No wonder they call it the Hershey Squirts!!

This may be a triumph rather than a fail, but I think it's more on the fail side; If I remember correctly, at the age of 2 I thought I'd befriend the family cat by stomping on it's tail....that damn cat kept a good distance from there on.

Sitting on a canister vac with a self retracting cord, yanking the cord out of the wall, it then whipped back and hit my forehead plug side first.

I almost got stitches at 4 years old for that one. Still have a scar.

I was, oh, maybe 3 or something, and I was told NOT to touch the lawn mower exhaust pipe. I did. Now i have a very interesting little brown scar on my middle finger of my right hand.

I failed to die before I was 6 months old like all of the doctors told my parents would happen.

I FAILED

To stay in the womb.
Later, about 3-4 IIRC, I ran down the hall, turned into the master bedroom & jumped onto a small throw rug, intending to slide at full speed under the bed. Split my little eyebrow wide open on the metal bed frame for my first stitches(but far from last ).
