What cruel (but funny!) things did you ever do to your sibling(s)? Or have done to you?
I’ll start by dobbing on a couple members…sort of. Adalaide posted in another thread about egging her brother on to do something which resulted in pain. I’ll let her tell the details if she chooses but it gave me the the idea for this thread. If my memory serves me correctly I seem to recall another member, a FL actually, who did something involving stairs, sticky tape and a brother…… ![]()
So people ‘Fess Up! (I will too, but right now food is a priority – I’m feelin faint – must tear self away from BB forums! :o) )
I put worms in my sister’s bed when I was little cuz she tried to make me do her chores. And I mean alot of worms. I filled my pockets several times. Boy did my mom laugh!
…my sister still hates worms to this day ![]()
Haha Monkey. You scarred her for life.
Ok, I am the meanest big sister ever. Apparently my brother forgave me though because he talks to me. I’m a year older than him and we grew up on a farm with cows. The summer that I was 3 and he was 2 we were down by the fence playing. I talked him into peeing on the fence. It’s an electric fence. He was curled up in a ball crying when I went to get my mom. Nothing in the world is as priceless as the memory of him laying there and saying to my mom “kiss it and make it better.” Nothing.
It’s not that I did that to him that makes me the meanest sister ever. It’s that I still think it’s absolutely hilarious. It’s been almost 30 years.
Lol you guys!! Thats horrible. I wish I could be mean to my brother and sister! She is 8 and he is 6 so it would be really cruel if I did something to them when Im 18. Oh but ive wanted to pull a few tricks thats for sure!!!
Adalaide, the story is better even the 2nd time – with that addition of your “punishment”. Did you even know at 3 yrs old what would happen? We had an electric fence for a short time and used to dare one another to touch it.
MB, your sis had it coming, What are you, her slave?
Well, I could try to say I didn’t know and act all innocent and stuff but it would be a total lie. I had seen something on tv about electricity and water. Probably some stupid kids show on PBS or Mr. Wizard or something. I just found a practical use for the information. What good is an education if you don’t use it right?
So my memory on this sort of stuff is a bit vague..(convenient?). My siblings sometimes tell me about how I used to get them to do this or that and I have no memory of it whatsoever. I’m sure they are confusing me with one of the other older siblings. Truly!
Anyway, my anecdotes aren’t necessarily cruel or funny but just stuff I/we got up to.
I basically would recruit my youngers to be guinea pigs for various hair treatments/ facial recipes I’d read about. Usually it involved things like rolled oats, mayonnaise and raw egg. // Once I sent them off to find dead animals so I could make a pet cemetary and conduct funerals. // We use to get one another to lick the end of 9 volt batteries to get the tongue tingle (Adalaides story reminded me of that.) // One time we used a mannequin and set up a macabre scene down by the creek. We’d lay him out and used tomato sauce to look like blood. Then we led our younger sisters down there pretending to come across this death scene. // We used to have our neighbours kids come home with us sometimes and I remember us all raiding the cupboard and eating glucose powder straight from the jar. At one point I switched it for a teaspoon of Epsom salts and fooled one them into eating it. Ick!
You guys remind me of the movie Iron Giant, where the kid tricks the FBI agent into having a sundae with him and then loads it up with chocolate Ex-Lax to get rid of him.
I didn’t have siblings. Only child here. So I have NO idea why my own kids enjoy trouncing each other. Can’t think of anything at the moment that stands out though.
My hubby did the electric fence thing to his friends as a kid. Only I think he enjoyed the ‘tingle’ himself…lolz. He’s the kind of guy who’ll grab the coil while working on the car for the rush.
*bump*
Not enough stories for my liking so I’m bring the thread back to the Lounge. C’mon, I know it may seem like a looong time ago but surely the relentless guilt trips your sibling/victim lays on you keeps the incident fresh in your memory.
‘Fess up.
I have younger siblings, all brothers… so most of my treachery involved them messing up something or self inflicting pain..
-Hand in bowl of warm water.. wet bed… priceless!
-Cool whip or shaving cream in the unsuspecting sleeping palm.. and a feather to the nose or cheek… oh man, I still love that one!
-Short sheeting the bed and putting sand crabs.. LOTS of sand crabs.. in there (vacation to the beach, every summer). I wonder why they never grew out of the fear of crawly, creepy things…
-Daring them to ride the pigs… I mean, huge swine pigs.. that had just been properly slopped and had their mud hole rehydrated.. and the beating they took for bringing all that mud inside.. *ebil grin*
..there were so many more, but I’m still fuzzy without my first dose of caffeine
Oh.. but this one is classic! I didn’t do it, however.. my Mom and her sister did it to their brother. He was youngest, and he was full of torture and mischief himself, so their actions were purely retaliatory (or so the story goes.. ). They’d capture him and tie him to a lawn chair.. drag him around to the West facing side of the house about midday.. prop the chair back and secure his head, so that he’d be roasting in the bright and very HOT Georgia sunshine, for hours before discovery. When my uncle tells this, it’s hilarious.. he is definitely scarred by the many horrible things my Mom and Aunt did to him (there were more); but it’s still kind of “wow” factor that they didn’t actually kill him. LOL
my sister used to think that her teddies came to life at night when we were asleep and if you wern’t nice to them they would kill you , she got this idea from watching the horror movie DOLLS even though mum told her not to . so at night she would set up her teddies and dolls in her bed and cover them up with her doona and she would sleep on the floor with no pillow or blanket in the middle of our beds so i used to get up and night and put her teddies in the living room in the middle of the night. freeeeeaaakkkkiiiiieeeeeee
One of my older brothers convinced me I was born with a 3 foot tail. My parents refused to bring me home from the hospital until it was removed. He said I had a scar but, I could not see it since it was on my lower back.
Another time we were on a family trip to a “dude” ranch (I was 5, he was 9). My parents would go on all day trail rides. He would tell me that it was really easy for our parents to ride off in the morning, because the dragon was asleep then. But when they came back in the evening – they had to fight the dragon. Didn’t i notice how less people came back in the evening? i was terrified every time my parents left for the day!!!
lmao those are really funny.
My bro who passed away. HE was 10 years older than me. I had this wooden wind up radio toy thingy. HE woudl be minding his own business watchign tv , me sneak sneeak sneak whack as hard as I could on his head![]()
Poor guy he would run to Mom screaming I hit him on the head. When I wouldn’t stop Dad took a belt to my behind.
My best friend would spend the nite. I got some string and tied it to her toe and to the bed leg. It was a long string When she got up in the nite to go to the bathroom she hit the end of the string. lmao
A friend came over and passed out drunk (years ago) We put lipstick and fingernail polish on 1 hand. HE went out to eat breakfast. He saw lipstick on the coffee cup. They gave him another. Again he saw lipstick after he took a drink. Then he noticed his red fingernails. lmao He never passed out at our house again.
Ohhhh my step brother now here is one. We would wrestle around. I was 1 year older than him. I got to pinching his neck and it came out looking like hickies. His grandma wanted to know what we were doign for that to be there. So I showed her. I grabbed a big hunk of skin and pinched as hard as I could he was yelling…. lmao….
By the way when we played baseball my cousins and some friends the boys I would pitch and aim for their privates lol…. They didn’t want me pitching for long. Too busy dodging the ball instead of hitting it
OH you brought back memories with this topic., since I don’t have siblings I added my cousins and stepbro lol![]()
I have two younger sisters, and we’ve done plenty of stuff to each other. The younger one used to be such a tattle tail too…haha she’s just grown out of that the past couple of years.
I can think of one thing that I actually used to aim at my younger cousin (who’s the same age as my middle sister) but it worked on both of them. They were very scared of ET, which I didn’t get because I loved ET. Haha, still, every time I’d get mad at them about something I’d do the voice “ET phone home” and they’d both start screaming. Hehe. Of course I’d get in trouble for picking on the littler kids but usually they deserved it!
Also, I used to make them be the guinea pigs for whatever make believe game I wanted to play. I loved the movie Annie (ya know orphan Annie?) so we’d play Orphanage and I’d be the mean Miss Hannigan and they’d be the orphans. Or we’d play school and I’d make them do math problems. Or I’d make them be my backup dancers and singers and we’d perform for our parents and grandparents and stuff. Hehe. Usually little cousins were around for all this too. We all like to laugh about that stuff now, the silly games we’d play. Kid days were fun…![]()
*I was never as mean as the electric fence! Hahahah that made me laugh so hard!
These stories are great – thanks for posting them!
I just saw this!! Great idea!!!
If my memory serves me correctly I seem to recall another member, a FL actually, who did something involving stairs, sticky tape and a brother……
*blushes*
huh….yup!! LOL
Well I got this sweet idea to duct tape my bro up so he couldn’t move. The rest was his idea. “don’t push me over or I won’t be able to get up” …so I HAD to. Then “don’t push me down the stairs into the basement” …so I had to.
I then told our baby sitter that I didnt’ know where he was, but he had said something about heading down to the lake for a swim (we live on Lake Huron) ….
*sigh* the good old days!!
heheh
Umn, I also handcuffed him in the bathroom and locked him in there…Hid the portable phone base in his room and then made ghostly noises with the phone all night in his room.
When he was ten or so, I told him mom and dad were multimillionaires and just cheap!
This was really the best/worst-because he’d always been so laid back, but suddenly started asking my parent’s for stuff all the time. It went on for about six months, then one day in the store he was having a fit that he wanted these hundred dollar jeans and burst out “But you guys have millions of dollars’!!!!”
…..when he saw the look on (I can’t help it I’m giggling right now) on my moms’ face…he just said “oh s*%^ ” he realized I got him really good. That’s a priceless family story now LOL
I gotta go (workday is over) I have many more stories to share -I’ll tell ya when I get home!
LOL
