When my sister was about 11, she and I were grounded. She was feeling sick and my dad thought she was faking it to get out of patching up all the spots on the deck (our punishment). When we were finished, my sister was visibly ill. Later that day, our dad drove us to the doctor who said her appendix was close to bursting and told us to go to the ER immediately!

When I was nine, my mom came to get me from school and told me something bad happened to my Grandma. When we got to the hospital, my mom told me my grandma ran herself over driving her own car.
When I was six, I got out of bed and was on my way to the living room when I found my parents necking in the kitchen. To add to the mental damage, dad was in his shorts and mom was half naked. UGH!
Crazy is watching my Dad chase his truck down the driveway (on a hill) and into the street (another hill) because his emergency brake aka the brick behind the wheel either failed or was forgotten. Needless to say, he did not appreciate me laughing then or thirty years later! But hey, at least I was outside to let him know. "Um Dad...your truck is rolling!" ROFL
As a teenager, I was grounded from driving for going through a yellow light. I found out that I had my 1st motorcycle ride from my dad at 6 weeks old while zipped up in his leather jacket. When I dared to question the act, he said "Oh, it was okay." His buddy the chief of police was with him and it was only 6 blocks. No big deal. And MY judgement was under question?
My grandmother spoils our two cats. She puts out ice water and treats three times a day. For some reason, the cats wouldn't eat the green colored treats so they were left on the counter. My mom went to make biscuits and rolled them out on the counter without whipping it off first! I found a green cat treat in mine! What else has been transferred from counter to food?
The road leading to our house is scary in the winter. One night, my mom, sister and I got stuck driving up. My sister took a safer route up our road but Mom decided it took long, so she and I walked across the icy road. We held hands so we wouldn't fall. Well, my mom let go. I fell slowly began sliding down the road. I yelled for someone to help, but no one did :(
My family applied for Wife Swap. My mom went to a family that did everything together and were really corny like the Berenstain Bears. We were just laid back, not too protective. We didn't always keep too clean of a house but it wasn't horrible. We weren't religious or anything like that. It was horrible! We didn't listen, it was stupid and we ignored her dumb rules.
When I was little, my mother and grandma took a road trip to Yellow Stone National Park. I was crying in the backseat and my mom couldn't make me quit, so my grandma held me and dipped my binky in wine to try to calm me down. I was only two weeks old!
My mom wanted my little sister to behave so she put her in the corner. She forgot about her! Two days later, she finally got out.
