Military Family
My father was often away on lengthy tours of duty, leaving my mother to manage five kids by herself. While he was away we used to sneak into their room to sleep. So before shipping out one time, Dad reminded us to respect Mom's space and sleep in our own rooms. Upon his return, as he disembarked the plane with the rest of his unit, my brother ran up to him, jumped into his arms and loudly announced, "Dad, you're going to be so happy. While you were gone this time nobody slept with Mom."

Philippine bride sues groom who left her at the altar.
A Filipina bride is suing her former fiancé after he ran off with another woman before the wedding ceremony had even finished, the Philippine Star newspaper reported Saturday.
