Submit Another StoryHere we go! My son insisted that his 5th grade volcano project include his army men at the base. I thought it was weird but he convinced me they were there to get real people out of the way. Fine. But then the neighbor come by and pointed out that those pointing guns might not go over at school. I had him chop their arms off. So yeah...his army men had nubs for arms.
When I was about 5, my cousin and I were playing on my bunk beds. I banged my head on the ceiling. My cousin was laughing, but the impact of the hit backfired and I fell on top of her!

When my twin sister Wind and I were about four, we had a Barbie jeep. It was the first and last time Wind let me drive. Well, I got in and took off full speed toward the pool. My mother was on the porch and thought I would stop. Well, she was wrong. I was soon speeding toward the pool and she was yelling, "Let off the gas! Let off the gas!"
I 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!

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!
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!"
My sister bought a new dress and Spanx to go under her new dress. Her husband was out of town while she was doing this. She went to have her dress altered and put the Spanx on and then sent a text to her husband and me: "Have Spanx on. Can't breathe. Call 911." I laughed while her husband called the police, who went to her house and knocked the door down.
My family is very redneck and I mean my first driving lesson was on a 4X4 course. So one summer, the field at my house was filled with junk cars and my dad decided he was going to be a monster truck driver and drive over the cars.... It was quite entertaining and we got in trouble by the neighbors. Now he's living his dream as an actual monster truck driver.
At my husband's aunt's new house for Christmas dinner, I was helping in the kitchen. My husband was in the game room with the guys. Later, everyone was in the kitchen to say grace except my husband. Then we see the light (over the island and ALL the food) dripping. My husband had overflowed the toilet in the bathroom upstairs and it was dripping onto Christmas dinner!
