At age 2, OP’s daughter one evening just turned to her and said “There’s a baby in your belly.” OP turned to her husband and asked if he told her, but he swore he didn’t. She then asked the daughter if it was a boy or girl and she said “It’s a boy, but I wanted a girl.”

There was a Reddit post a while back asking about terrifying sounds. Someone mentioned that at their workplace they work with deadly chemicals. There was a specific alarm that meant there has been a massive chemical leak. If you can hear this, you don’t have time to make it to safety. Don’t bother running. Call your family and tell them you love them.

“You know that feeling you get when someone is staring at you? Yeah, I felt that coming from the porch. So I look over at the screen door and there’s a 3 and a half to 4 foot tall, all white with big black eyes, thing staring at me.”

OP placed knives all over the place when she was high because she got paranoid pretty easily, but one day this proved to be somewhat useful when an unwelcome guest showed up and began advancing on her.

OP had a new neighbor move in and decided to bring some gifts to him just to help him feel welcome, but apparently that was the wrong thing to do. We came home one night after midnight and found him waiting there, upset that we didn’t let him know where we were. Things only escalated from there.
