Self explanatory, really, just tell a lesson, silly or more serious, when you were little.

I learned a very important lesson about the importance of underwear once when I was nine.

When I got up that morning, I couldn't find any pairs of underwear for some reason in my underwear drawer, so I just decided: "Screw it, I just won't bother!" So I put on my favorite pair of sweatpants and went on about my day…without realizing that there was a tiny hole in the front.

It wasn't until that afternoon when I was playing a game with my siblings that I realized I needed underwear. Everything was going normally, until they both gasped and pointed toward my lower half. I looked down to find that, somehow, a certain little "thing" had managed to be sticking out of the little hole in the front of my pants. I promptly went and put on underwear.

The lesson here is either make sure you put on your undies, or make sure your pants don't have holes in them. O_o

Fuck underwear, I go commando.

Anyways, when I was about 9 or so, I had a pet leopard gecko. Due the cold-blooded nature of reptiles, I had to have a very strong heating lamp over his terrarium. So one day when I was looking at the gecko with my brother, my parents called me and I had to leave. Stupidly, I decided to let my younger brother look at the gecko for a bit longer and let him close the terrarium. It should be known that our floor in the room with the gecko was carpeted.

So some time passed went back to the room with the gecko. I smelt something strange as soon as I entered the room. I looked around to find that my dear brother had left the lamp on the floor, result in a burnt hole in the carpet. What I learned is that you should not trust 5 year-olds with high-powered heating equipment.

Don't feed any dog by hand.
It will hurt.

Devil worship is terrifying.

I learned how to play Cave Explorer.

In my house, "Duh" was a worse swear word than "Nigger". I'm not even kidding.

stand still when bees are around
the break on a motorcross is where your left hand is
always keep you eyes on the road when you are driving (bike) or you might just hit/get hit by a car
sex is not a game (yeah i played "doctor" with a girl i knew in an early age she was a bit older than me)
you cannot always relay on your friends to save you from your problems the way you need them too (i went to get a teacher while i was beaten)

i wish i could remember some more serious things i have learned but sadly i cannot or i cannot explain them with the right words

I learned to sit down and shut up

Wasps are terrorists send by satan, I had to learn myself that after being stung multiple times as a kid.

Don't hit your cousin over the head with a dumbbell for the mere reason that he slapped your hand to make you drop your favorite sandwich.

@Skiing

The lesson here is either make sure you put on your undies, or make sure your pants don’t have holes in them. O_o

The secondary lesson here is to not wear pants with holes in them

Related: One of the things I picked up from childrens books is that bees are friendly, happy and cheerful insects with a brilliant smile on their faces that always happy to see you.

After picking up a stranded bee off the ground in order to gain a new little buzzy friend, I quickly learned the truth: bees fucking hate you.

Lesson: Don't fuck with bees

Belts, sandals and sticks hurt like hell.

Hot stoves are hot.

Would you count my young teens as when I was little?

If so: Never commit suicide. Seriously. You will immediately regret doing so, and if you manage to survive, it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Never ask black people why they are black.
Never ask Oriental people why their eyes are closed.
Never ask Hindu people why they have a dot on their head.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

If you're gonna introduce your dad to one of your favorite TV shows, please make sure the episode he sees won't wind up scaring him out of his mind.

(I learned this the hard way when my dad started watching The Amazing World Of Gumball one day, and the episode he saw was "The Flower" aka. that episode where Gumball is literally possessed by jealousy over Leslie, and nearly kills him in a rather creepy way, and ends with an exorcism. My dad's pretty much a badass, but he gets nervous about stuff on TV sometimes…)

Pokemon is the greatest fucking thing, that's something I learned as a child.

Wear Clothing You Retard!

Don't touch an iron if it's turned on.
