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.)

Bad parenting or honest mistake
...you decide. This past Xmas visiting the parents with the kids. My 4 year old develops some redness around his bum hole after a bout of diarrhea. The Wife grabs the tube of zinc oxide A&D ointment and slathers him up.
Moments later he's screaming bloody murder "It BURNS! IT BURNS!"
The Wife is screaming at him..."If you dont stop carrying on...NO PRESENTS FROM SANTA!!"
I'm like, "Stop being such a pussy son, its only some nappy cream...."
well actually it was mint toothpaste..
The Wife never reads lables...
