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.)

On the topic of presents...My friend when we were kids went around boasting that her parents had her the best birthday present ever and it was huge and was in a large box and she was going to love it....
She unwrapped a fibre optic christmas tree. Her birthday is in December. Her response, even at such a young age was "oh..." that tree became a standing joke every time it was brought out for years and years afterwards hehe
