Attention...

It's interesting to see the things we do for attention. Children often get into things they know they're not supposed to....Actually, I don't think that changes over the years.

Young children will move sacks of potatoes or put the vinegar bottle in the living room. Sometimes they'll stuff their toys under refrigerators. Some teenagers get into drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc. And if they didn't do that stuff while in their teens, they go through it in their 20s (which is something like the "terrible twos" only on a grander scale and parents don't have as much control over discipline.

But since this is all to get attention, it's best to ignore it. Although sometimes it's hard not to look at those in their 20s and say, "You're an idiot."
