My parents did too. But they were in law enforcement, so they saw the carnage and death that resulted from drunk drivers....their rule for me was they would disown me if I were caught drinking and driving.

The weirdest rule they ever had for me was, "You can get tattoos or piercings, color your hair rainbow, but never, and I mean NEVER get gauges. You'll ruin your life!"

I pranked them one time by getting fake gauges. I posted a picture on facebook and my parents were hysterical. You should have seen the look on their faces when I later told them they were fake.
