what's the worst way you ruined a pony when you were a kid?

[dragonfly]

I'm going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume it was accidental or with good intentions

probably the time I had SS buttons in the bathtub
I was a bathtub pee-er
She got pee on her
It never came out
I have since reformed my bathtub peeing ways
gross!

There is an episode of G1 where the ponies encounter Princess Porcina.  She has their hair cut for a magic cloak and it magically grew back.  It seemed reasonable at the time, but my old Applejack proves real ponies aren't as fortunate- she's missing 1/3 of her forelock.

I though that pegasus could fly like in the show, I was wrong and star catcher shattered after being in  the snow all day then being throw from a ski lift -.-

Tried to use nail polish remover...on a symbol. I'm not sure what I thought would happen. thankfully I noticed right away so it's only a corner.

I guess mine isn't too bad compared to others, but I just cut my ponies tails to a real life horse length.

I KNEW something was gonna say this.Seriously, the way it was done i'm pretty sure it was intentionnal.

The worst I did was give Bow Tie a tail cut. It's tapered down the sides. My brother was worse. He was jealous of my Blossom so when I got Bow Tie he got Applejack and somehow managed to pull her tail out then he covered her with stickers. I still have her. She's really grotty. She's sticky where the stickers were and incredibly dirty where they weren't! I caught him playing one time - Applejack was the enemy of his thundercats

Well the few ponies I had.. the worse they got was tare... yeah me and a friend found some fresh tare filled in a pothole.. and kind of played with it.. got tare stains on 1 of my G2s...

I was pretty good to my ponies, with one exception.  I got the Birthday Party Set for Christmas one year, and Yum Yum was my first ever flutter pony.  She was the star of that year's Christmas - for all of 5 minutes until her wings broke.  After that, Yum Yum and I had issues, and she was treated with a bit less care than the rest of my ponies.

I was in the backyard one day, playing with ponies(including Yum Yum) when I noticed the clothes line.  I had an idea, and made a discovery that day.  I discovered that flutter ponies are particularly well suited to being drawn like an arrow and launched into the air.  They're small and compact, so they fit well on, say, a clothes line. But their legs are also long for their size, so they're easy to grip so you can *really* pull them down and make them fly extra high. 

However, they don't bounce well on concrete.  And clotheslines tend to leave rope burns on ponies.
Poor Yum Yum.

I umm just pierced their ears when I was little. I never did anything more damaging that I could remember. I do remember my Morning glory pony had her wings break off from me playing with her alot.

....Sometimes I would put in those velcro-sided hair accessories, the ones that Petal Blossom and Ivy's Parlor came with


I know it's probably the most mild example here, but I've always taken good care of my toys so the hair getting tangled was usually the worst thing that happened to them

I've had a pretty good giggle reading some of these 

I think I was pretty kind to my ponies as a kid, though they may have subjected to the odd confusing game.... Shady often had to be the boy in the herd and my Luke Skywalker figurine was a baddie and didn't treat them very nicely once or twice. Good thing Han Solo was there to rescue them...

Physical damage came in the way of silly mistakes as an adult collector. One Mirror Mirror will never forgive me for washing off her perfectly good symbols I'm sure, and my Powder Puff charm still gives me the odd evil look for accidentally smearing the edge of a symbol with nail polish remover...

Princess Primrose was left on a lamp...and became a puddle of pony

I was also pretty good with my toys. I did play with my sea ponies in the bathtub and several of them got moldy and had to be thrown out. In  fact my only surviving childhood sea pony is still around because my mom wouldn't let me put in the bathtub. I think I remember being sad when my flutter Yum Yum's wings broke although I was really careful when I was playing with her.

My grandma bought me Twinkler and she came with free pony lipstick. I used the pony lipstick on Twinkler and she still was lipstick stains on her mouth. I guess it's a good thing she didn't come with hoof polish.

One of my ponies got played with in the water a lot and rust-splosion! Eww!

Otherwise I tried to take good care of them. They got groomed and lovingly stored on the bookshelf when I was done playing with them.

Is it wrong that I laughed?
