Submit Another StoryWhen I was a kid, our old washing machine would become unbalanced and make horrendous thumping noises. Mom would send one of us kids out to the garage to fix it. It would shift back and forth, backward and sideways with each thump. Being kids, instead of opening it, rearranging the clothes and closing it, we would lean our arms and upper body on top of it until it stopped.
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.
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!"

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!

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!
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 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!
