When your mom leaves the checkout line to get another item she forgot to put on her grocery list. You wait with bated breath for her return as your last few items are scanned.

Your eyes vigorously scan the vicinity to no avail. Crap.

Yes, getting into a car without any shoes is possible when leaving your house.

I still have no idea how this phenomenon occurs. But it unfortunately happens quite a bit.

We can't help but feel that when we get older, our lives will be better because we will finally have more freedom.

Childhood wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, but when we reflect back, it was probably some of the best times of our lives.
