86 Words for Kid-Trouble

Got to thinking about the troubles, fears and discomforts of childhood - the dark and now the humorous part.  For me, that was 50 years ago.  Is your memory of childhood different from mine?  Maybe you weren't troubled.  Girls, maybe you had a wholly different perspective on trouble. If your childhood was only 10 or 20 years in the past, maybe your trouble was more digitized or electrified.

I'm inviting you to comment on my list of childhood troubles.  Suggest additional words.  Help me see the other perspectives.
