We were up at a cottage having a graduation party for my daughter and she locked the keys in the car at 2 am. Then she did not tell me. It took hours for the autoclub to find us the next day and then he could not get the car open. He worked on the car for 4 hours. Good news is I feel my car is safe and hard to break into.

Nope, never. However, my DH did when our DD was just a preschooler. He coasted off the main road around the corner and parked the car. WINTER!! My baby is out in the ice and snow and a mile away from home. aaaaaack. So this guy pulls up in a pickup truck and asked if they needed a ride. Scary part: 1. no gas 2. dead of winter 3. my baby ends up in a truck with a stranger man 4. and no seat belt let alone car seat 5. I found out in bits and pieces over the next several days Good part: 1. DD cannot keep a secret at age 12 2. She was even worse at age 3 Obvious part: 1. That wasn't the only time. 2. DD still rats him out. 3. Mom never takes chances like that.

Nope, but I think I coasted into the station on fumes once. And IIRC, we put vodka in our gas tank when I was in high school (damned if the car didn't actually run!).

LOL... well, we didn't pour it all in the tank. We did have half an orange soda (large bottle) and poured the rest into that). And yes, I was waaaay underage!

Yes. I was on a date with my boyfriend. I had my dad's diesel car. I guess I did or could have caused serious damage because it was a diesel engine. I don't remember, it was a long time ago. I actually did coast into a gas station where it completely quit.

I dont think it does damage, its just a royal pain in the butt crack to get it to start again if it runs out completely. Diesel that is. On a big truck you need to do all kinds of stuff, you cant just push the pedal and it roars up. Maybe same with diesel pick up, not too sure. OOOOHHHHH Tess DH in trooooouuuuble!

Yes, I was going up a slight incline in town to go to the gas station and apparently the gas flowed to the back of the tank (not a good place for it if you want to go anywhere) and putt, putt, putt, stop. This was before I had a cell phone. I was getting out of the car to walk to the station and buy some gas when my grandma came by and picked me up.

We didn't catch them climbing it, but we found it knocked over on the floor. At least we had the forethought to just put it up and not put anything on it to see what they'd do. When we pulled in the driveway, you could see through the house instead of a nice green tree in the window! They then spent their nights in the finished basement. LOL Should be interesting this year. Misha is always going after the ornaments and knocking them off and I can just imagine what little Sammy is going to do. I think he might spend some time in "time out" if you catch my drift. He can keep Misha company when I get tired of chasing her away! LOL This is Misha from a couple of years ago before it was decorated. There's actually a window sill behind the tree, but it looks like she's diving right into it and I thought it looked funny!

Not a cat, but when Harvey was a puppy, he attacked the tree (I think he was trying to get to the window to see who was at the door and the tree got in his way.) Knocked the tree over and through the window. That was the last year the tree was in front of the window!

That's the most, um, interesting tree ornament I've ever seen. Gives new meaning to the phrase "Jingle Bells". Hey, it IS Wednesday. My cat's never bothered the tree but I had a Cocker Spaniel who seemed to think we put it up so he'd have something new to tear up.

When DS#3 was 1 I had to re-decorate every single day. He would walk by and swat at the tree like a cat. Does that count?

A few of ours have tried to climb the tree. They would play with ornaments too. The 3 we have now, aren't that interested in it.

The two cats we had for 19 years did climb our tree when they were kittens...and maybe beyond. Back then we used to only decorate the top 2/3 of the tree after they took everything off the bottom third. We lost them in 2006. We adopted two already grown cats this year and wondered if they were going to climb it. They didn't. They sure love hiding under it though! Almost everything cats do looks so cute!
