It does count, Pecan. As long as you want it to.
She may very well be genuine about it cause when people have life-threatening or near-death experiences, it sometimes pounds some sense into them and kicks them in the butt...thus making them own up to mistakes and realize what treasures have always been right in front of their eyes.

Spitfire, I was a pretty rambunctious teen, so there is no one defining
moment.
Mom was quite mortified when she caught me having sex (I was 15...)
Dad and I had some explosive fights. A couple, in hindsight, I can say were all or mostly on him but the time I got put out of the house and stayed a summer with my Aunt and Uncle was probably much more on me (I was 16, then...).

Actually Spitfire,
She never did. That is one of those defining moments from my childhood that I'm still in therapy about.
Although, now, after her stroke she apologizes for being a bad mother when we were younger. It's a blanket apology, but I guess it counts.

Pretty boring really
I came home in my car at 4am the week after I got my licence to drive. My father was asleep at the door. He was angry because I caused him to worry so much

Well, Symphony, I can understand and empathize.
I wasn't too bad of a kid,
**ducking from possible lightning strikes** but I must say, I was pretty lucky cause I did get away with a lot.

Oooh, good burn on Mom, huh Jems? I loved when that happened.
Once, my mom was driving me to the Orthodontist who had recently relocated. My dad had taken me the last couple of times and it was now located in the downstairs office of a realitor's building. I insisted it was the building and my mom didn't believe me cause there was only the realitor's sign outside. I finally convinced her to just TRUST ME. She did. She felt really bad for not believing me. HAHA!!

I was seven or eight
My siblings and I were playing an imagination game. If you pressed your eyelids down real tight, you coud see all sorts of pretty pictures. What did we see? I said "custody papers". Obviously, Mom and Dad were divorcing. She became enraged when she heard that and threw a ceramic swan across the room. It shattered just above my head.

Apparently I was the only bad kid...
It was either the time I ran away when I was five or when I got arrested with my friend when I was 11!

Ooooo, the memories....
My father died when I was 11 so it was just me and mom. I was generally a pretty straight-laced kid but one time I got involved with a real troublemaker who took advantage of my naivete. We went out with some "older" guys from the next town and, because they didn't reset the clock in their car (time change), I missed a big band concert. My whole family was there...
Needless to say, when I got home WAY late, mom was waiting for me. That was the first and only time she ever slapped me. It was also the first and only time I EVER hit my mother.
Not one of my proudest moments...

Hrmmmm........
Mom would get pissed when I'd complain about eating lima beans or mushrooms. And then there was the time she got REALLY pissed at me for shaking the entire house when I was a mere 8 years old--bitched me out like there was no tomorrow--until she realized it was an earthquake when she glanced outside to see me to better yell at me and saw me sitting nowhere near the house.
Don't really remember Dad getting too mad at me. He'd mainly just lecture me for things like not doing my homework or whatever. But he never got mad--just kinda disappointed, I guess.
