When I was young my twin sister would tell me I was mental. She had no idea how much.
But when I was living in her attic flat in Chicago, I went downstairs to visit. She was drunk and wanted to go out driving. I hid her keys. When she got that bug out of her ass I said, "Oh look! Here's your keys." ;)
