Submit Another StoryI was running late for school one day and forgot to grab my keys by the door. I didn't realize it 'til the end of school. I had to climb through the bathroom window that was right above the tub. I slipped and somehow broke the faucet in the tub. The police were called by my neighbors because my dog was barking like crazy and wouldn't stop. Worst day ever!
One night some teens broke out a back side window in our van. A few weeks later someone hit it and ran in a parking lot. They broke the tail light. We did not have money to get any of it fixed so my dad covered the tail light in plastic wrap which he had colored red and replaced the side back window with a piece of wood. I was so embarrassed about the car!

So, my parents are doctors and when my triplet sisters and I were little, we got stuck waiting in the hospital. We got hungry and went to the vending machine to make popcorn and got confused with the microwave times. Before we knew it, there was smoke coming from the microwave and all the alarms were going off. In a hospital. Three fire trucks had to come!
I lost my first tooth and my mom gave me $20. That night Lizy (my 28 year old babysitter) stole my money. I was convinced that a robber stole it, but our phone did not work so I told our neighbors. The police came and arrested my babysitter, leaving me alone for 4 hours.
One summer, my family was enjoying vanilla drumsticks. My father was double-handing a drumstick and a mug of coffee. He started telling us about his uninteresting day at work. It was blocked from my mind as a passing bird pooped into his mug of coffee. My dad thought that what had just collided at terminal velocity was ice cream and licked it off. Scream for ice cream!
One 4th of July, my family and friends were enjoying a fine time with beer, booze, & homemade explosives. We were rudely interrupted by a lunatic neighbor screaming about how we were going to blow up his house. He screamed on and on about how it was illegal. My dad's crazy friend ran out with an decommissioned WW2 grenade and screamed, "Is THIS illegal?" The neighbor fled.

I live in a 60-year-old manufactured smoke-detectorless, fire hazard, clutterbomb mess of a house with my parents, sister, and our own private zoo. I thought it would be a good idea to get fire protection (in the form of Jiffy POP). It was a good idea because my sister fell asleep while cooking something on the stove and the kitchen caught fire. POP POP extinguisher!
We went camping every weekend as kids. Sitting around the campfire, my father would tell us that he was an alien and that the moon rising was a message that he needed to meet his spaceship. So he would get up and leave for awhile. When he returned he would say he had went to the store via spaceship and he would give us candy or toys.
My parents had a sense of humor. When my younger sister was born, they told her they had found her under a rock in the desert and they brought her home and she grew into the little girl she was now. When she went to kindergarten the teacher asked where each child had come from. My sister told her what my parents had said. Needless to say, the school requested a meeting.
Our dad's nickname is Homer. He was the super of the building (ironically). We loved watching him try to fix things for one reason...it was hilarious! Once, he was hammering and accidentally hammered his finger, screamed in agony, threw the hammer through the wall (making a huge hole), then proceeded to destroy every object around him in agony screaming, "COÑO!"
