Stories that happened in your childhood that involved brothers and/or sisters.

I was mixing cake batter once. My sister kept dipping her fingers into the batter and licking them. When she got to finger #10 I pour the whole cake mix over her head. LOL!

1. When my youngest brother was about five, we spent a week or two
by a lake that had huge dragonflies hovering around the shore.

My other brother (age 7) and I (age 10) told him that they were baby helicopters. He believed us.

2. When my little brother threw my favorite doll down the
outhouse, I thought it was only fair that I be allowed to throw his toy fire engine down the outhouse hole, too. My mother would not allow it. I thought that was so wrong on her part.

She did retrieve my doll and clean it up.

3. I think we were about 14/11 or something like that...
and we decided that it would be fun to get a rope(you know when rope gets involved it can't be good) and using my bike drag my brother on his skateboard down the raod and see how fast he could go.
Well as we went down the road, the road turned to the right.
I made the turn no problem, obviously, but at the speed he was going, my brother didn't quite make it and slid on his ass a ways.
Yeah, that was some nasty road rash, and I remember him laying face down in the bathtub while my Mom was picking gravel out of his ass with tweezers!
Good times.....good times!

6. My younger brother hated onions. So I put one under his pillow.
His outrage was very amusing to me. A few years later, when we got into high school, we acquired a few items from the chem lab and made a still on the kitchen stove (parents were gone for the weekend), and successfully distilled a fairly horrible alcoholic beverage.

7. My older sister
Edited on Fri Jun-25-10 09:06 PM by snailly
told me that any gap in the curtains meant there was a creepy eye peering through. I believed her then and I still can't shake it to this day! I love her dearly but that fucked me up!

8. My sister nearly burned the house down...

she dropped me down a few stairs...apparently I was only 3 months old at the time and bounced..

my brother was an budding escape artist..

I had a bad case of sibling rivalry, and decided to run away when my mother brought my baby brother back from the hospital...apparently it was not a well thought out plan, when it got dark and I was cold, I asked the man driving the bus if he knew the way home...

9. My older brother wanted to run away one time. There is a picture of him
holding a stick over his sholder with a bundle tied around the top of it. Obviously one of my parents thought it was cute he was running away.

10. My mom packed a lunch for one of my running-away episodes.
I ate the lunch and came home...

12. the summer after i was 15
i had my first job. it was babysitting all day during the weekdays. my parents let me spend part of the money on something new for myself. i was an aspiring artist, so i bought myself a drawing table that came with the arm lamp and chair. i had that table for about a day when my sister went into my room when she was home alone (parents worked i was babysitting) and used an ex-acto knife to cut paper without using the cutting mat. i had knife marks in the surface of my new drawing table. that was the only time i ever came away victorious in a physical fight with her, probably because i was so mad. in spite of my being two years older she was (and still is) 6 inches taller than me.

she had a habit of ruining my stuff! way, way back when, for my 6th birthday i got this inflatable trampoline. it was basically a giant inner-tube with stretchy trampoline material wrapped around the outside of it. it didn't even make it through the entire birthday party before my sister poked a hole in it with a diaper pin.
