- blown up anything up with a firecracker
Nope, never had access to fireworks as a kid (except for sparklers).

- pulled the arms off your sisters dolls (or defaced it in any other way)

- pulled the wheels off your brothers trucks (or defaced it in any other way)
Didn't have a brother.

No dog.

Nope.

Nope.

Just those meant to be painted (models).
