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.)

almost back on topicmy son was expelled from school at 14 and in the three years since has done very little. He recently did some scheme type thing where they get a load of excluded kids and make them run a project.
After a day one of the other kids came up to him and had a go at him for using "all those big words that we don't understand"
My son said "I am sorry, I don't mean to, it is just my vocabulary". The other kid said "there you go again, what does that mean?"
so..to bring it back on topic
i am a bad parent for teaching my son long words that make him stand out.
