16. I went by the house I grew up in

I knocked on the door and asked if I could come in and look around. They said no and slammed the door.

My parents can be so rude!


The house I grew up on was demolished several years ago, and a modern house built on the lot. I was so blue when it was gone. Then I read this joke and laughed like a fool. I can handle it okay now.


I've been putting lavender oil on my pillows every few days and it is really helping me sleep better. I can get a small bottle at Dollar General for $1. Last about a month or so.
