What was your big? Oh, my parents are going to kill me moments that you had as a kid.

0:06.2

I put my cheap gel pens in the microwave when I was 11 because they wouldn't work,

0:10.8

and my teacher told me that that's because the ink was frozen. Let's just say I had to work

0:15.3

extra that summer so that I could get us a new microwave. First time ever getting drunk,

0:23.9

14 years old, had a bottle of rum and four mic-hard lemonade all mixed into a big jug. I came home that night, my mom just looked at me,

0:29.5

and she knew. She didn't get mad, she just said, okay, Corey, let's go to bed, it's all right,

0:35.5

let's go. I went to bed, and the next day she made me

0:38.3

go into school with a ridiculous hangover. That was my punishment. But she always said to me later in

For a month, I kept taking the internet cord from my parents' room and running it to the living room. Plugged it into the TV box, I was washing the dishes when my dad started reading out the adult

1:09.0

very raunchy story I'd written about my religion teacher.

1:12.8

Yep. I basically yipped in fear and went white, and he looked around at me and promptly lost his

1:18.0

freaking mind laughing. I ran away to my room as fast as I could, and I hid in my bed until the

1:23.5

next day. I was terrified he was going to tell my mum and I was so embarrassed. That was in 2009 and

1:29.6

he's never mentioned it again. As a 2000s kid, stories like these always fascinate me. We were

1:35.1

there but not actually there. Every single day my mum told me to be careful near the frozen pond

1:41.6

next to our house. One day, enough snow melted in order for my

1:45.3

friends and I to play soccer on the field next to the pond. As you can guess, at one point,

1:49.9

the ball ended up dead center in the middle of the pond on the ice. My child brain figured if I

1:55.4

could throw a stick on the ice, it was safe to walk on. So, after making sure the ice was stable
