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.)

whenmy brother was a toddler, he caught athletes foot from the swimming baths. one night, my mother was going out leaving my father in charge. she asked him to put the cream on my brother's foot before putting him to bed. the cream was on the windowsill in the kitchen along with a few other household things.
as she was heading upstairs to grab her coat, she heard him mumbling, "why does it say 'educational supplies' on the tube?"
when she came back down, my brother's toes were all superglued together. her evening out was spent in casualty looking up divorce lawyers and hitmen in the yellow pages...
