My Parents Are Rich, But I Live In A Sewer Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

“Hold on to my hand! Quick! If we don’t get out of here, you’ll be swept away!”

“I’m trying!”

I held on to Jeff and pulled him out of the sewer onto the rainy street. The raindrops slapped our faces washing all the muddy water away. We had no idea that today of all days, torrential rains would come and flood us out of our home. I almost lost one of my only friends and this was a scare I never wanted to have again in my entire life.

This is just a flashback of my most awful moment in the sewer. My life wasn’t always spent in smelly sewer tunnels – it was almost perfect. Make sure you keep watching to see how my perfect life turned into a life in an underground sewer tunnel and how I eventually became rich and helped everyone around me.

When life was normal, I lived in a pretty modern house in Las Vegas with my twin brother Camron and my parents. They were both well-known psychologists and had hundreds of clients – including some well-known celebrities. So we were pretty well off.

Camron and I didn’t have to share a room because our house was huge. Although we were identical, we had totally different personalities. I was the shy, quiet, introverted one and he was loud, popular and a bit nuts. At school everyone knew him and he was always invited to the cool kids’ parties. This made life a bit hard for me because people kept mistaking me for him. I didn’t really want to be bothered if you know what I mean. Popularity wasn’t a goal for me.

My Ugly Sisters Want To Destroy My Beauty Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

I was always pretty content with my life, I mean, sure, of course I always dreamt that one day I would get a loving family of my own. But in the meantime I was happy living at the orphanage.

So it came as a bit of a surprise to me the day that Mrs Wilson, the caretaker, called me into her office.

“Ruby, we have some good news for you.”

I looked at her in surprise,

“Really? What is it?”

“We have found a family who want to adopt you”

I can’t tell you how happy I felt at that moment, it was the day I had been waiting for all of my life! Finally I was going to have the family I had always wanted.

Mrs Wilson told me that the couple who wanted to adopt me were coming the next day to meet me.

“Make sure that you put on your nicest dress and be on your best behaviour Ruby. You want to be sure to make a good impression on them!”

“Yes, Mrs Wilson, of course!”

The next morning I woke up super early, I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to meet my new family. I got myself ready and went downstairs to wait for them in the lounge.

My Substitute Teacher Changed My Life For The Worst Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

“Good morning class,” a lanky man with glasses walked into the classroom. “My name is Mr. Jameson.” He wrote his name on the board. “I’ll be your History teacher until Mrs. Rose comes back from maternity leave.”

I smiled as I envisioned the next three months to be a breeze. There wasn’t a teacher at school that did not like me. Mr. Jameson however wasn’t any ordinary teacher. Little did I know at that point in time he would change my life for the worse. Watch my story to the end and let me know if you’ve ever had a substitute teacher like Mr. Jameson.

The first thing Mr. Jameson did as the substitute teacher was to implement a no device policy. He collected all our devices at the beginning of class and placed them in a box on his table until class was over. I soon realized that he didn’t want me or the other children taping him to show other adults how mean he really was.

It didn’t take me long to realize that Mr. Jameson had a personal vendetta against me. I had no idea what I did wrong! He always picked on me and my grade was the only grade he ever called out in class. At first I thought I was being paranoid but then I realized Mr. Jameson was as mean as they came.

One time while I was absent from school the entire class got in trouble because there was a fight in class. When I arrived the next day Mr. Jameson said that even though I wasn’t there I still needed to do detention, you know the “Peter pay for Paul” type scenario. I told Mr. Jameson that it was unfair that I’d have to do detention since I wasn’t at school. Do you know what he did? He gave me a week’s detention! A whole week and then he called my parents and told them that I needed to adjust my attitude if I wanted to reach anywhere in life.

I Faked Winning The Lottery To Impress Hot Crush Aug 27, 2022

Show notes

I picked up my lunch tray and headed towards the table where my friends were sitting eating. I had gotten about half way across the room when I saw her, of course she hadn’t noticed me, she was too busy fending off all her admirers.

I had had the biggest crush on her for so long, I mean, who wouldn’t? She was easily the hottest girl in our school.

As I got closer to her I took a deep breath,

“Hi!”

I waited for her to reply but she just completely ignored me and went sailing past me. My heart felt like it had been ripped out of my chest, I felt so sad.

I put my tray down on the table next to my friends,

“What’s up with you? You look so miserable.”

“It’s Hayley.”

“Look dude, just tell her that you like her.”

“But she doesn’t even notice me, I just said “Hi” to her and she didn’t even give me a smile.”

“Well don’t give up, you just need to find a way to impress her.”

“How am I going to do that?”

I'm The Smartest Girl Alive, I Made My Family Rich Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

“And now we welcome Miranda Walters to the stage! In case you haven’t heard about her before, she’s the ultimate brain box, a prodigy, the smartest girl alive!”

Another announcer was calling me onto another stage on what must have been my hundredth talk show. Everyone cheered and I sat in front of the host next to my mom.

“So, Miranda, how did you become so smart?” I was so tired of the same questions over and over.

I was different – an anomaly.

And I’ll tell you how it all started.

So… My mom is a neuroscientist. In case you don’t know what that is, she studies the brain. Before I was born she had a dream. She wanted to use her research to create the smartest baby in the world. She convinced my dad to allow her to experiment on their baby – which just happened to be me. My dad was easygoing and he had a lot of faith in my mom’s research so he let her. No one knows what happened in that lab while she was pregnant with me but after I was born everyone realized almost instantly that I was brilliant.

By the time I was five days old, I could count and recite the alphabet. At one month I could speak clearly and before I was a year old I could read books which were written for fifth graders.

My Parents Forced Me To Become An Angel Child Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

"Ewww, Frank, why are you wearing that hideous outfit?" I looked at Frank in disbelief.

"That hideous thing is the school uniform. You should be wearing yours, Principal Hudson has already written me three warning letters," Mom passed behind us with a basket of laundry.

"Well, he's going to have to write a fourth because I wouldn't be caught dead in that."

I went to grab an apple from the fruit basket on the kitchen counter then I noticed a tray with cupcakes.

"Whose cupcakes are these?" My eyes sparkled.

"Oh, Nikita dropped that off while you were in the shower for your birthday."

"But my birthday isn't until next week."

"Well, think of it as an early birthday present."

"Sweet!" I scooped up one of the cupcakes, bit into it and told Mom that I was leaving for school.

I strolled out the house and met Nikita, my best friend by the mailbox.

"Hey, Nikita, thanks for the cupcakes."

"What cupcakes? I didn't send any cupcakes?"

"Nikita, are you playing with me?"

My Rich BF Is A Jerk Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

“I hate you! I should have never married you! You awful, hideous, stupid man! You have the IQ of a chicken!”

“Oh yeah? Well you’re the ugliest woman I ever dated! I only married you because you were pregnant with my child!”

“Well fine! We should just get a divorce then!”

“That’s the best idea you’ve had since our wedding day!”

These two nutcases are my parents. They’d been arguing like this since the day I was born. And somehow, they stayed together for a pretty long time and they even had two other kids – my little sisters Andrea and Janie.

But this time? It was final. They’d always threatened each other about divorcing in the past but this time they were serious.

My dad packed his bags and left that night. The papers were signed by the next week and the week after that, our family split up forever.

The judge made a weird decision. I was going to live with my dad but my younger sisters would stay with my mom. My dad decided he wanted to live as far away from my mom as possible so we moved from Texas all the way to Michigan. I was fine with that because that’s where I wanted to go to college. But I knew I’d miss my sisters and my mom dreadfully.

On our first night in our new house in Michigan my dad started behaving all weird.

“Coral, I really hope you like it here. But there’s something I really need to tell you and please... please don’t get mad.”

I Read My Sister's Old Notes, It Changed Everything Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

As I pulled up to Moe's on Charlotte Boulevard, I still wasn't sure why my older sister, Catherine, wanted me to install microcams in my glasses. So far my sister's notes had been correct, this however was just weird. I walked into the bar, ordered a drink and sat in a corner, waiting.

After about thirty minutes, I decided it was time to leave. I stood up and walked to the door but I stopped in my tracks when the manager made an announcement that changed my life.

Hi my name is Carson.

Catherine and I have always been close. Being the younger sibling, my sister was a role model to me so it was no surprise that I wanted to go to the same college she did.

After she graduated and I received my acceptance letter to the university our parents were ecstatic. My sister was moving away to start an internship at her dream job and as Dad packed her car she knocked on my bedroom door.

"Hey, Carson can I come in?"

"That depends," I raised my eyebrows, "Do you have any snacks?"

Catherine tossed me a candy bar, walked into my room and sat on my bed. In her hand was a pile of pages, held together by ribbon.

I'm Addicted to Eating Gold Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

I wandered the streets alone, as I did every day. My life was pretty miserable, I was homeless and didn’t have a penny to my name. The only clothes I owned were the ones I was wearing. I really couldn’t imagine how things could get any worse.

Then a car came around the corner and drove straight through a huge puddle on the side of the road, water sprayed up and soaked me from head to toe. I stood there dripping wet, watching as the driver drove off laughing.

Well if you think that is bad, wait until you find out what happens to me at the end of this story!

I carried on walking, I had no choice, I had to get back to where I was going to sleep for the night. When I got there I curled up under a piece of cardboard and tried to go to sleep. But it was impossible, my stomach was rumbling because I hadn’t eaten all day and I was shivering because of the wet clothes. I had never felt so sad in all of my life.

That’s when I decided I was going to do whatever it took to turn my life around. I didn’t want to live on the streets a moment longer.

“The first thing I need to do is get a job, once I have a job then I’ll be able to get a place to stay.”

I knew it wouldn’t be easy to get a job, but I was determined. So when I heard that a local company was hiring people I decided I would apply. I was so happy when I found out that I had got an interview, but then I realised I didn’t have anything to wear. My heart sank, there was no way that they would give me a job if I turned up in my old scruffy clothes.

My Hair Is Worth More Than Gold Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

“Can I have some gummy worms mommy?”

“No Juliet. We only have money for instant noodles today. And besides, gummy worms are bad for your teeth.”

“But I likesss them mommy!”

When I was a toddler I always gave my mom a hard time in the store. I didn’t really understand that we were poor and what it really meant when people lived in a trailer park. I thought they were just fun, cool boxes and we were all just one big happy family.

Everyone loved me there – I think I was everyone’s favorite kid. The thing they loved most about me though was my hair. It was soft, golden and looked exactly like the perfect hair in the shampoo commercials even though we had no money for hair products most of the time. The strangest thing about my hair was that it wouldn’t stop growing!

While most babies were born looking like bald headed aliens, I was born with a perfect head of hair. By the time I was a week old, my hair was longer than I was. My mom would have to cut it off every morning after my bath but by the next day, it would have already grown back.

Eventually I used my hair to take us out of the trailer park and into Beverly Hills – but you have to keep watching to find out how!

No one knew why my hair kept growing and growing. Sometimes my mom would let it get really long for fun and this was exciting for everyone in the trailer park. The women liked to try different silly hairstyles on me. Or sometimes they’d let the neighborhood kids play games with it.
