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.)

Toes/glue? Pah!I had some sort of horrible skin problem when I was a wee'un -- a form of eczema (from what I can remember) but worse, and at one point it got onto my tenderest parts. Ouch.
I had to put some sort of cream on it every day, a job that my parents decided I was old enough to do myself. Well apparently I wasn't old enough to read, and my parents weren't smart enough to keep the cream in a different box from all the other similar-looking tubes of creams and ointments...like Deep Heat, for example.
My eyes still water to think of it.
