Terrible Parenting
My parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

My Dad
Apparently my dad's mum agreed to marry my granddad only if he promised not to get her pregnant as she hated kids. He was a Catholic however and she ended up having 5.
Her sister couldn't have kids so my nan gave her my dad when he was a toddler. After a few weeks the aunt decided that she really wanted a daughter so she took my dad back and asked for his sister instead. My nan didn't want to give up her daughter. Evil cow.
I didn't meet my nan until I was about 5 when after a big row my mum and dad threw me in the car and I was driven to meet this smelly old woman. The first thing I apparently said to her was "my dad told me you were dead"
