Stars!!
When we were young my family used to sit and watch the news for the deaf with fierce excitement. The competition was to be the first to shout 'STARS!!'when the line of stars appeared between the news items. Like so:

***********************************************

The level of competition was scary.

Oh so scary.

Edit: We also have to lift up our feet when we're taking off in an airplane. It makes it easier to take off apparently.

» Petty Sabotage

When I was in secondary school
I was asked to type out the program for our school's easter service.
There was a girl in my year that I really hated because she was always falsly nice to everyone she met and no one could see how evil she really was.
So how did I sobotage her?
I spelled her name Barbara in the program when she really spells it Bairbre.
The pettiest thing I've ever done in my life.

» My Christmas Nightmare

paper hats are VERY flammable
christmas dinner....dad stands up to take the token timed photograph....all's very picturesque...two children innocently swap christmas cracker hats over the CANDLELIT table...hat goes on fire...sister drops it on to chair....chair is of the cheap 80's type with a foam seat....chair goes on fire...cue much screaming and hilarity...we all lived.

a few years later....christmas tree is placed in dining room instead of sitting room for first year ever....all's lovely...tree sits nicely for two weeks....christmas dinner....everyone sits down....tree falls over into gravy...we pick tree out and eat gravy...yum yum.
