Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Especially when it's sized so that in my [totally standard] browser configuration you have to scroll down to see the caption because they've got so much loaded into the page headers.

Yup--I was looking at the rest of my screen, and no--my browser should be large enough--their ads should be less obtrusively placed. I might have seen all of them if I didn't have to scroll up and down on every page.

My parents did something similar with my youngest brother after a long trip: he was asleep in the backseat and each thought that other had brought him in and then they realized.

My parents were so upset about leaving their family when they moved to NS, they drove away from my aunt and uncle's place with me still in my aunt's arms (I was 4 months old). They were about 15 minutes away when they realized that "they forgot the baby."

Abandonment issues, anyone?

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, my parents left me in a gas station restroom when I was a kid. None of my siblings said anything despite noticing my absence. A ways down the road my mom did her automatic count of little heads in the back seat and instead of 4 there were 3. I was just standing in the parking lot when they got back.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Cannot be more annoying than a 47-page slideshow about wprds, but I would have no way of knowing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I got left at a gas station in Northern Michigan. Because I wouldn't leave the magazine rack and get into the car. I believe I was about 12. New Kirk Cameron BOP! What's a girl to do?

They came back and found me calmly sitting on the bench, reading my magazine, drinking a can of Coke.

I think this is the point we realise we're grateful that there are no fancy slide transitions. Other than the ones that reveal a bullet point at a time, can we please have a moratorium now? The explosion swirly vortex thing does not in any way enhance what you're trying to say. You're just reminding us that you're a business person, not an animator.

Didn't get through all of them, but I do hear quote a few of the ones listed. I say 'get my ducks in a row' often. One of my partners refers to her 'S.W.A.T Team' all the time which really amuses me because it takes new people a long time to figure out what she is saying with her accent. I just let them suffer because I am mean that way.
