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.)

Bad Aunty DingoI was at a theme park on a day out with my brother, sister-in-law and their young kids, and my niece was fascinated by the water rides, as all kids seem to be.
So naturally, me being the cool aunty, I took her to stand on the bridge over the ride where spectators can get nicely splashed as the ride comes out of the chute and sends a wave of water up. The wave when we were stood there was the biggest one I'd ever seen come up, and we both got drenched. There was me, a little shocked, trying to laugh and make her laugh, she turned around dripping wet, looked at me laughing at her, and slapped me right across the face! She was 4!
My brother and sister-in-law were peeing themselves laughing, but all the other parental types stood around the bridge awww-ing and coming forward with suggestions like *poor dear, put her in the dryer!*
I could feel the scorn.
Fortunately my brother found it funny!
