I owe my existence to Walt Disney.

No really: My parents met working at the Blue Bayou restaurant nest to the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride. If Walt Disney hadn't built Disneyland my parents would never have met and I'd never have been born. I know it's coincidence and all that, but it's still kinda cool.

For some reason I thought the OP was going to be a Mickey Mouse sockpuppet.

Also, congratulations?

I thought this was going tobe someone who was concieved when their parents watched The Little Mermaid or something.

...I'm glad it's not.

^I just looked it up, and if it was going to be the newest movie at the time, I would have been conceived to Oliver And Company. Ick.

But yeah, they just met at the Blue Bayou. This means that my mom can point out every tiny reference to the POTC ride in the movies, which makes them a lot more fun.

That's completely amazing. Props to you and your parents even though you didn't really do anything!

I thought this was going to be someone who was concieved when their parents watched The Little Mermaid or something.

Not conceived over it, but it was the icebreaker that got my parents together.

My parents first got together watching Star Wars. So I suppose I owe my existence to George Lucas.

...no wonder my life's been so fucked up.

^At least it wasn't Howard The Duck.

My parents worked in the Canada pavilion at Epcot when they met.

...

Yeah, probably not that cool when you're posting in a thread that hasn't had any posts in months

One of my parents' date movies was Apocalypse Now. My mother hated it.

But cooked face and napalm make for perfect romance!

My mother went into labor with me while watching The Exorcist.

After they were already in the car, my mom went back into the house to make sure LA Law was taping.

Jesus, and I thought my aunt had it bad when she watched Alien while pregnant.

I owe my existence to minimum wage jobs at Kmart.

Not the most exciting story.

lol. my mom watched Rain Man almost every day while she was pregnant with me because it was on HBO at the time.

My parents met while working at the same post office. I owe my existence to Australia Post. Could be more romantic, but what the hell.

I do know they used to go on dates to polo-cross tournaments.

I owe my existence to the Denver Health something or other!

I owe my existence to World War II.

No WWII, no parents.

I guess that's pretty cool.

But what do their parents owe their existence to?

I owe my existence to every single thing that happened before I was concieved, because chaos theory dictates that otherwise a different sperm would have penetrated the egg and I would be an entirely different person.

In specific, however, I owe my existence to a local state fair in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where my parents met because one worker on the Super Slide was my father, and the other was the older brother of my mother. I also owe my existence to the miscarriage of my late brother, because if my parents had had a child, they would not have aimed for another.

I owe my existence to my father being an awesome man. Seeing my mother (his future wife) across the room, he asks his buddy with him, "Who's that woman?" He's told that she works in a specific department at the office that he works at.

"I've got to go talk to her." He walks over and woos her. My dad got it done.

Edit: Corrected, thanks.

My grandpa was a draft dodger. Thank you Korean War.

"Woos." "Woes" would be tormenting or worrying.
