My daughter lost her favorite stuffed animal and was devastated. I went online and found a replacement on eBay for an insane price because it turns out her stuffed puppy was a collector’s edition (fml) and the one I found was in mint condition.

I then rubbed it in dirt, washed it a few times, and ripped off its leather on its nose and filled it in with black permanent marker, all so it matched the one she had. We then told her that her puppy had been found and the joy on her face made the expense and time it took crafting it well worth it.

She is thirteen now and still keeps her puppy on her bed. I plan to take this to my grave.

When I was dating my now wife, her son took my car for a joyride while we were out of town.

When we got back from our out of town trip I noticed something was amiss on my car. When I got in it, I noticed the sunshade was installed backwards, I would never do that on accident.

I then pulled the dashcam footage. He took it around the neighborhood. He didn't do any donuts, or burn any tires. Just a nice slow stroll through the neighborhood with the music playing and I assume waved and some people.

I ended up just handling it man to man. he was like 17-18 at the time. I never told his mom about it.

In 2009 my best friend was struggling to pay rent when his TV broke. So I went and bought him an at the time 42 inch HDTV for over $1,000. I knew he would never accept me spending that much as a gift.

So I took it out of the box and put a few small scratches on the back of it and told him I bought a new TV and that he could have my old one that I didn't use anymore.

Well, he's doing way better now financially, but he has no idea I did that and I will never tell him.

Dad, I lied that day in kindergarten when I said I had a tummy ache and needed to go home.

I was totally fine, I was just super bored and wanted to spend time with you.

In 1998 I had a friend who was stuck in a very toxic situation at her home. She had an opportunity for a new start across country in Oregon. She had a Dodge Neon that was hanging on for dear life and decided to pass on the opportunity for fear the car wouldn’t make the trip. I told her I had a friend that was a mechanic that owed me a favor and he would give the car a tune up for free. I didn’t really have a friend that was a mechanic. We were both 18 with not much money but I used all of my savings to pay to have her car made road worthy for the trip. She’s a mother of 4 now with a great job and thriving in Oregon.

I like looking at my dvd collection rather than using them. I don’t know why i feel like i’d be called weird for just holding the case of my favourite show and just stare at it for a while being happy i own it before putting it away.

Some years back I got into legal trouble and ended up in prison. My mother at one point asked me "Have you considered that the reason you can't get pregnant is because this is God's punishment for what you did?" I was 26 when I found out I would likely never have children; all I ever wanted was to be a mom (up to that point). She also told me at one point that she should have aborted me like her father wanted her to do. Millions of other things said over the years but those were 2 of the worst.
