Hah! How long did it take for that particular bubble to burst for you? (and please relate the event that did it)

Well, when I was a young one I had these neighbor kids, 3 brothers.
We hung out so much that we were all like brothers really, all day every day. We were as tight as friends could be. Their father got shot and killed when we were very young and my family kinda pitched in and was helping to raise them as there were 3 sisters as well on top of the 3 crazy brothers for the now single barely speaks English mom to have to worry about. We were wild of course, like all little male children are....the brothers were just a tad bit more wild than I. One day we are driving home from somewhere in the back of their mom's station wagon and the craziest brother says he is going to open the car door and leap out like a stuntman, roll on the ground and run off... we are going probably 40 miles an hour down Harlem when he says this. Now as cool as the idea was I had to caution him against it. I said it wasn't a good idea and at least wait till we slow down a little. I warned him that he could be seriously hurt. He is having none of that, opens the door and leaps out just like that. Long story short he indeed is injured quite severely.
At the hospital later all holy hell comes down on me from every angle, my parents are screaming at me, their mom is going nuts...I can't figure out what I had done.
Turns out that to avoid punishment for doing something so stupid, all 3 brothers had told anyone who would listen that I had pushed him out of the car and tried to kill him.
There were even cops involved, it was a big mess.
Never talked to them again, was a full on cold war between the two households after that....and to this day my parents still belive that I pushed him out of the car and tried to kill him.
So yeah that whole episode really changed my entire outlook on human beings and life in general.

I thought humans lived forever.

I also believed I would live forever, and I still do. Haven't been proven wrong yet.
