Submit Another StoryMy aunt came to visit from California (the same one who popped her siblings' zits as a kid). She looked at me and said, "You have a cliff-hanger." I asked, "Huh?" and she reached up and picked my nose.

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.
One day, my cousin Nathan was in charge of me and my two cousins. We made him mad so he locked us in the same bathroom that my aunt's dog's puppies were in. There was no air in there. We told him we were hungry so he sent food under the door! My aunt finally let us out 2 hours later.
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?
When I was 9, we played hide and seek. I convinced my younger brother to hide in a dog crate in the storage closet in our apartment complex. After locking it, I found out it needed a key to open. After an hour or so, I called 911 thinking maybe my mom would not find out and I wouldn't get in trouble. I didn't see daylight for a month!
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 :(
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!
