"One Sunday, when he was bringing me back home, my mom (unprovoked) stabbed my father in the chest. As he lay dying in the hallway, someone called an ambulance. After being in a coma for a week, he miraculously woke up. The hospital was telling my grandma to prepare themselves for his death. When the police came and questioned my dad, he lied and said he had no idea who did it."
"My father told me that my mom (a teacher) used to steal the money for school trips where she worked at. For some twisted reason, she moved my sister and I to the same school. I never understood why the other teachers were so bitter towards us. Apparently there was a big scandal between the teachers, but we had no idea - the worst years of my life, finally explained."
"When I was young, I always looked up to my older brother (we are kids of WWII parents). My brother served in the Vietnam War, so they were all my heroes. This one time when I was young, I needed a haircut. I was going on an interview for a company that I badly wanted to be a part of."
