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.)

Wacky parent funsterOn our power shower, there's a delay between switching it off and the water stopping. I've managed to convince both our kids that it's actually voice-controlled: I switch it off when they're looking the other way, count to five and then get them to shout 'stop!'...and presto! it stops.
I love watching them try to stop and start the water by shouting at it.
In years to come, they'll be posting this sort of thing on Internet message boards. And using it to justify putting me in a home.
