In a small-town elementary school, a fifth-grade teacher gave her class a fun but thoughtful homework task:
“Ask your parents to tell you a story — any story — as long as it has a clear moral or lesson at the end.”

The next morning, students came in buzzing with tales from home. One by one, they stood up and shared their stories with the class.

First up was Emily.

“My family runs a chicken farm,” she began. “One day, I went to gather eggs from the coop. I filled my basket with every single egg and started to run back to the house. But on the way, I tripped over a stick and dropped the whole basket — every egg cracked.”

The teacher nodded. “And what did you learn from that?”

Emily replied, “Don’t carry all your eggs in one basket.”

Next came Ryan.

“We’ve got electric incubators to help our chicks hatch,” he said. “One stormy night, the power went out and none of the eggs made it.”

The teacher smiled gently. “So the lesson?”

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” Ryan said proudly.

Then the teacher turned to Lily, who was quietly waiting her turn.

“Lily, do you have a story to share?”

“Yes, ma’am,” she said. “My dad told me about something that happened to my mom when she was in the military.”

The room went silent.

“She was a pilot during Desert Storm,” Lily explained. “Her jet got hit and she had to eject over enemy territory. All she had was a small bottle of whiskey, a loaded pistol, and a combat knife.”

“She drank the whiskey while parachuting down so it wouldn’t spill or give away her position. She landed in a field surrounded by twenty enemy soldiers. She managed to shoot fifteen of them before she ran out of bullets. Then she fought off four more with her knife… until the blade snapped. Finally, she took down the last guy with her bare hands.”

The classroom was frozen in disbelief.

The teacher, wide-eyed and clearly rattled, asked, “And what exactly did your father say was the moral of that story?”

Lily grinned.
“He said, never mess with Mom when she’s been drinking.”
