As a child, I thought my life was going to be good until the day Mommy and Daddy brought me home a teddy bear. I was dead wrong. It was only the beginning of the worst childhood ever imagined.

As a child, I thought my life was going to be good until the day Mommy and Daddy brought me home a teddy bear. I was dead wrong. It was only the beginning of the worst childhood ever imagined. It all began that faithful evening. One event lead to another and before I could make it to the bathroom, my bladder let go. It was a sign of things to come. That same night a skunk came to visit and sprayed Daddy. It took 3 bubble baths to remove the stink. My mommy died the next evening in a terrible fire. We tried to save her but to no avail, she passed away while I watched. I didn't even get to say goodbye. It was just me and dad now. The only thing I could do was cry into my teddy. I lost the most important person in my life. The emptyness stung me and I could not let go. Mom's ghost keep her memory alive and every sighting deepened the loss we felt for her. Daddy thought that a kitty would help fill the void. He didn't know that luck was against me. The kitty only occupied me for a few minutes. After the first one, fires became frequent in the house because daddy would cry for mommy while cooking and leave the food to burn. Misery should have been our last name. My grades plummeted and so did my life. Dad tried his best to help me but he was as depressed and destitute as I was. He offered me no comfort when he had none. Daddy thought that My Birthday party from a child to a teen would turn things around, but it failed miserably. None of the kids liked me and only one person showed up for my party. Dad then decided to call Auntie to leave with us. He believed he couldn't care for me without help. My mother's ghost tortured Auntie at every opportunity. It left her cranky and tired. Since I was not a friendly person, it made our relationship unbearable. Even into my teens the bad luck continued. After my father's financial failure, the repo man came and took our toilet. It resulted in mental anguish as I wet myself again as the maid laughed at me. I had grown fat and depressed. The other teenage boys had dates and good grades while I struggled through school and was alone. I attempted to change my life and started exercising. But nothing I did worked for me, and life seemed to spiral downhill as I grew older. The reason I ran away from home was because of my father's unexpected alien pregancy. It actually was the end of all my woes, I just didn't know it at the time. In a mad fit of rage I ran away. Everyone was depressed dad was pregnant and Auntie was hormonally enraged. The birth of my new sibling was imminent and Dad was extremely upset that I ran away, and did everything he could to find me. My father had the baby all alone. I should have been there to comfort him. Even Auntie was out that evening. Dad was excited at the birth of my brother Kerplunk and upset at my absence. While I was away I learned some hard lessons. By running away I learned the true value of family. A person never misses what they haven't lost. I finally decided to come home. I was hungry, smelly and lonely for my family. Auntie apologized to me, and I apologized to her. Suddenly things were getting better. I got to see my baby brother kerplunk become a toddler. I loved him dearly, (he quickly became the favorite member of the house) As I feel Kerplunk's little green arms around me and his face snuggled deep into my neck, I felt hope for the first time. At my 18th birthday party, all my friends and family showed up. It amazed me That so many actually did care. I guess I didn't know everything after all. As my transition to adulthood was toasted by my best friends and family. I discovered Life is good after all. And meeting the future Misses Rhodes made my life complete. Now I know I'll live happily ever after.

    You stole my idea! \;\) I also wanted to write a story based on this challenge, and I probaly will someday \:\) Anyway - your story is good, I like that you introduced the Auntie to help the faimly. And an alien birth gave an extra twist to the story - did you plan it or was it an accident? I'm glad everything ends allright and Dusty has something to be looking forward to.
