So, what the worst thing for which you ever got in trouble?
When I was 10 years old (1974), my buddy Craig (9) and I caused a (very minor) international incident because we got on the wrong subway train in West Berlin and wound up in Soviet-controlled communist /EAST/ Berlin. As a result, Major Dad (USAF), his boss (Craig's LTC Dad), their boss, AND the base commander all had to put on their fancy-dress uniforms to retrieve us.
I spent the rest of the summer on HOME CONFINEMENT.
TOP THAT! 🤣🤪
Mine was trouble on the domestic front, not international.
My parents had bought their first brand-new car - a 1967 Chevrolet Caprice coupe, center-shift transmission, bucket seats. They were so proud.
My mother left me in the car while she went grocery shopping (hey, it was the 60s) and I found this great thing on the dashboard that heated up, and left really fun rings in the upholstery when I pressed it to the seat. They weren't happy with me.

Around the time of my little
'international boarder incident,' my mom was hinting to my grandparents that she needed a new car. That Xmas grandpa gave here one of those cigarette lighters with a note that said, "Well, you've gotta start somewhere." 🤣
