Submit Another StoryAs an adult, I thought I was done with the "crazy mom" stories. No such luck! I got stuck at work one afternoon & can't use my cell while I'm on the clock. My mom showed up, screaming from across the store. I hear over the headsets used to communicate, four drive-thru customers, "Who is that crazy lady screaming over there?" & "That's Alli's mom, you'll get used to her."
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 once hid in the hallway bathroom, lights off, wearing a scream costume to scare my aunt as she walked down the hallway to her room. Unfortunately, my grandpa had decided to make a bathroom trip. With his pants around his ankles, he jumped from side to side and screamed a few profanities as I confessed that it was me. He had just had a heart attack 2 weeks before.
My whole family went on a camping trip when I was about 5. My grandma's snoring was so loud (in the tent next to us) that I was convinced there was a bear in their tent! I was terrified.
When I was little, I used to sleepwalk and sometimes wake up in a different room. I was so surprised to realize that I could teleport myself. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I realized I couldn't actually teleport. I was devastated.
When I was little, my father would hold me upside down by my ankles. I detested it. My brother would laugh. I now refuse to ride any rollercoasters, especially upside down ones. Who is more messed up?
When I was six months old, my parents split up. When I was little, I would go to my dad's apartment every few weeks with my big brother. Once, when we were 4 and 6, my dad was supposed to be watching us. My mom called at about 12. She said to give him the phone. I said he's asleep. She asked how long he'd been asleep. 1-1/2 days. Crazier: he slept for another 1/2 a day!
When I started school, I was so proud of the fact I knew my ABCs and 123s. I was taught them by my dad while hanging out at the neighborhood bar every night. You see, back then you would choose a letter and a number to hear the song you wanted on the juke box.
Growing up, we didn't have napkins at the table. Mom would just pass around a dish rag to wipe your face and mouth. It wasn't until my late teens that I realized that other people didn't seem to do this.
