About 40 years ago, he proposed to my grandma \u2014 got down on one knee, pulled out the ring, and popped the question. She said \u201cno,\u201d but he acted like he didn\u2019t hear and thought she said \u201cyes.\u201d Hugged her, told her how much he loved her, and she felt too awkward to correct him.<br \/>\nSpent the whole night thinking and eventually decided to stay with him. Yesterday, grandma told me this story. But the real twist came from grandpa \u2014 turns out he did hear her say \u201cno.\u201d He just pretended he didn\u2019t\u2026<\/p>\n<p>figured it might work out. And it did.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a child, I had a small wooden rocking chair in my room. I don\u2019t remember ever actually using the thing, but my parents decided it was a good enough decoration to have when we moved to our new house.<br \/>\nI remember feeling strange in this new house at night. The feeling of being watched was pretty present, too. Well, a few years after moving into this house, I had been sitting up on my bed reading when, out of nowhere, music started playing.<\/p>\n<p>I looked over to see this little wooden rocking chair rocking\u2014apparently, it had a music box in the back of it I never knew about. I ran out of the room to my parents, screaming, who laughed at me and told me, \u201cYou must have hit it playing around.\u201d Except I know I was on the bed the whole time\u2026 and the thing started moving by itself. \u00a9 QuestionableOpinions \/ Reddit<\/p>\n<p>My brother, whom we\u2019ll call Steve, had a fianc\u00e9e named Samantha, and they have a son together.<br \/>\nOne day, Samantha started locking her phone, coming home later, showing all the usual signs of a cheater. Then, one weekend, she said she was going to a work event about 250 miles away and would be staying in a motel there. Steve grew suspicious and decided to call the room late at night, around 1 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready for stories that\u2019ll have you laughing, gasping, or simply shaking your head.
