Stupid things done in childhood

(I don't know if there is a better translation of "bêtises d'enfance" ? Childhood foolishness?

When I was about 5 years old, my father worked as a car salesman. One day, he had taken a new model to come to lunch. When we got home, I moved into the driver's seat, and pretended to drive the parked car in front of our house. Of course he didn't leave the key to start the car, but while I was faking driving the car, I accidentally loosed the hand brake and as there was a slope ... the car began to move and fortunately it hit an electric pole which blocked it. But it was damaged and that was very bad news for my father who should have brought back this car to the show room in the evening where many customers were invited.

Very well written!
