Parents, how would you feel if you suddenly discover something suspicious in your child’s bedroom? Would you panic? Would you be angry? Would you confront your kid right away?

A mother from Texas recently had such an experience while she was searching for a calculator in her 16-year-old daughter’s room. As you can see on the text message thread posted below, Ashley Bank requested her mom to get a black calculator from her drawer.

Her mother, however, found some colorful capsules in a plastic bag. She immediately got alarmed about the discovery and thought they were drugs. Things took a hilarious turn from there though and we couldn’t help but crack up with what transpired next.

Oklahoma is among the many states strung across the United States' infamous tornado alley, and each year, hundreds, if not thousands of homes are flattened along areas from Texas to Minnesota.

Daniel Parks, 18, of Davis, Oklahoma, was the only person home the time a humongous twister tore through his rural hometown, and he survived the whirlwind which killed two people and destroyed his home by virtue of a single bathroom fixture...

Daniel survived by hugging his toilet bowl!

A well-known Winston S. Churchill quote tells us that “a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity” while “an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

These days, the virtue of optimism is indeed a necessity to survive in a world that’s increasingly growing negative. So although having a positive attitude is sometimes frowned at and ridicule by some, maintaining a brighter view in life can help you overcome obstacles and weather the storms.

Still, there are times when such an attitude comes, well, a bit misplaced – and it can get really hilarious.
