Most (adult) kids can say that. I think there is something irrationally rebellious about being told what not to do. Were you ever given a reason? One of my pet peeves about parenting is the "because I told you so". Which is why I always give my children a reason. I also try to avoid the DON'T and rather advise to not but surrounded by explanation. Does that make sense? I guess this answers your human nature topic. I was badly injured as a child because I was told not to do something, never given a reason, and so I did it (based on the assumed reason and disproving it).

She hated tattoos and what (she thought) they stood for I guess. The guns and motorbikes...just scared of them through lack of any experience. People fear what they don't know I guess. No reasons were given though, I was just forbidden.
The guns came first, I was very young.
The tattoos and motorbikes next although I was 30...old enough to make decisions after a lot of life experience in many things. Since then, more of each has happened, but the thing I got the most was guns. Lots of them. Lol.
Funny though, none of these things became a detraction of who I was as a man, didn't lessen my humanness, or diminish my personality traits which I value and feel are righteous. I'm still just me.
