My parents have had a disagreement for 32 years now. It all stems from an incident when my mother was pregnant with my older brother. (I'm not even alive yet, so nothing's my fault this time!) They agree on the story up to a certain point, but then they take very divergent views on the ending. I'll tell the story up to the point at which they agree, then tell each of their versions of the ending, then you tell me which you like better and why.

Here's how the story goes:

So Mom is 9 months pregnant with Brent. She's huge. She and my Dad are in bed reading at night before going to sleep. They are lying back to back facing their lamps to read. My Mom rolls herself all the way over and tells my Dad, "I have a funny tickle in the back of my throat." He wisely asks, "Do you have to throw up?" She says, "No. It's just kind of a tickle." She rolls back over and they read quietly for a bit more.

Not two minutes later, she rolls all the way back over, faces my Dad, gets a funny look on her face, and barfs like there's no tomorrow. Dad nimbly jumps out of the bed just in time to avoid the projectile vomit bath.

They agree on that much of the story. Here is where they depart.

Mom's ending:

Mom claims that she was rolling back over to tell my Dad that she did feel sick after all and was going to go into the bathroom. The hoarking snuck up on her unexpectedly and she didn't have time to issue a warning. She ralphs, then my Dad looks at the pool of blown chunks. He says, "Gross," and takes his pillow to sleep on the couch.

Dad's ending:

Dad claims that after Mom rolls over and upchucks with no warning, he asks her, "Why didn't you just spew on the floor where you were facing?! Why did you roll all the way over here to toss your cookies?" Mom then replies, "Because the dog was lying right there on the floor."

I must say, both have great entertainment value. It's a tough call. One thing is for sure, in all my life, neither has changed their story. They stick by their guns on this one.
