Meaning
This reads as a candid look at childhood mischief that is less playful than it first sounds. It can be taken to mean that some games were really just acts of cruelty or boredom, done for the thrill of causing trouble. It lands in a memory of local pranks, but the phrase also makes room for shame, since the speaker frames the behavior as plain meanness.
