Terrible ParentingMy 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.)

I shall have my revengeWhen I was little, I rode in the trolley while we did the grocery shopping, as small children tend to do. On our way out of the shop, my mother used to push me down the slight incline to the car park while pretending that the trolley had gone out of control. Apparently, she mistook my screams of fear for screams of entertainment.
Now, having survived polio as a little girl, she needs to use a wheelchair to get around.
Payback's a bitch isn't it, Mum?
