My mother is always telling stories of her youth. She told me many things. She said she's partied, gotten dead drunk many times, and then there were some stories she told me that stuck out the most:
Her stepdad was driving once, and didn't notice a train coming by due to no warning signs for the railroad. The train hit his car, but was stopping already so he didn't get killed. He escaped with two minor cuts, if I remember correctly. Also, my grandpa seems to have a knack for cheating death.
In his old house, there was a gas leak that nobody noticed. My mom and my dad (who were dating at the time) went off to do something in town, apparently. He went off to do some lawn work, and while he was getting ready to mow the lawn, the house exploded. If he hadn't of decided to mow, he would have been seriously injured or killed :o
Also, my mom said she remembers a few times when she got drunk and hilarity ensued. One time she punched a hole in the wall because her boyfriend was being a douche. She also got so drunk on her 21st birthday because her brothers kept buying her expensive drinks, and she passed out in the bathroom.
And the last story I remember is where she was being taught how to drive by her mother, and two tornadoes touched down nearby. She said she was so scared she wanted to throw up.
Anyways, my mom is the coolest person in the world. Not only is she a gamer (She loves half-life, halo and starcraft 2), she's kind and according to her stories, she was quite a tomboy.
