You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

[Bubba1235]

Talk about when we were kids got me to thinking a bit and it brought up a memory that is funny as can be today but at the time... Well I thought dad would kill me.

I have a kid sister who as an adult today weighs maybe 80lbs. soaking wet. When we were young she was TINY. However on the plus side she was also a dare devil. I think that was due to her being small and feeling she had to be one. Anyhow all of us kids (brothers and sisters, there were seven of us) went to a circus when it came to town and one of the coolest acts were the tumblers. Why were they cool? Because we thought anyone could do what they were doing.

Next day, we (my brother and I) get out a 2 x12 about ten foot long from dads stash along with a cement block. We had a spring board just like the circus performers! We took turns standing on one end while one or two others jumped on the other end and sending the person 2 or 3 feet in the air. That was good fun for maybe 15 minutes or so and then we began thinking of ways to get more elevation for the person willing to stand on the board.

Being the bright young guy that I was I figured it out and we moved the set up close to the garage and we talked my baby sister into being the one to be sent flying. (I think we used words like chicken.) My brother promised he would be there to catch her... With everyone in place and watching I climbed up on the garage, got to the peak and JERONIMO!

Ok, ever been in a situation where it feels like time is barely crawling? This was one of thse times for me and I could see the sheer terror on my sisters face when she seen me coming down on the end of the spring board. There was a small scream as I thudded down on the 2 x 12 and she went FLYING! I mean she must have gone 10 foot straight up. My brother, the one that promised to catch her, seen it and RAN to get out of the way and my sister came down flat on her back and litteraly knocked the air from her. (Does that ever make a funny sound!)

So she is laying there making motions like a fish out of water trying to breath and it's not working so I ran in the house and told my folks she had been playing on top pf the garage, had fallen off and wasn't breathing. Mom screamed, dad took off like a shot out the door and I followed him not wanting to answer moms questions.

Dad scooped my sister up and she managed to suck in a huge gasp of air and start crying and dad asked her what she had been doing on top the garage. She answered, "I was playing until bubba jumped on the board". Dad took one look at the set up and it took maybe a full half second to figure it all out. Oh yeah, by that time all my other sibblings had disappeared.

Do you guys realize that a garage can double as a "wood shed"???


So tell us, what did YOU do to your younger sibblings for "fun".

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

We had an old bubble nose Bombardier Skidoo. One cylinder of fury. When I was a kid we would get a ton of snow, it wouldn't be odd to have an overnight snowfall of a couple feet. One Saturday afternoon dad let me take my younger sister out for a ride. We lived on a dead end road with a park at the end that led to the beach, and Georgian Bay. I would typically go to the small park and do circles. This was one of the days we had a large snowfall, so there was a couple feet of fresh powder. Those of you who know these sleds, know that 1) they are quite heavy, especially to a 12 year old and B) they don't work well stopping in fresh powder.

So here we are doing circles in the snow, having fun, my 8 year old sister on the back. For some reason I thought I'd slow down while turning in the snow. Fwump, the sled stopped and immediately fell over, as it was, my sis managed to attempt to get off, getting both her legs pinned under the machine. Ended up with hairline fractures on both lower legs.

I still hear about it to this day.

Took a mag out of an old telephone hooked up to older brothers toes when asleep, cranked like hell, then ran. lol

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

What ever does not kill you makes you stronger...


Well thats what I tell my little brother...

Mom and Dad made a trade that at the time was a brilliant deal for my Dad, Mom wanted a baby and Dad wanted a Pool, 4 years later we moved and were stuck with the little punk...

so I am 12 years older then my brother(he was a mistake, or maybe I was....) so Mom and Dad got a new "waveless" water bed mattress and figured the old queen size mattress would be a fun pool toy!!

Our house was a bilevel, two story walk out basement covered patio and a pool, mom and dads room was facing the back of the house but had no view of the pool due to the patio roof, mom is in her bedroom folding laundry and sees her beloved 3 year old clear the patio roof...

I learned that it was not appropriate to put your little brother on a water bed mattress filled with air and then jump onto the other side of the mattress from the diving board.


I was babysitting my little sister and brother while mom and dad went on a date night, I was also tasked with doing my laundry, so I run upstairs and slipped on a piece of plastic and slid back down the stairs, now normally this would not be significant but for some reason I was amazed at how slick plastic was on carpeted stairs! so the only thing that could be better then a small piece of plastic would be a large plastic sled, hum, how about a clothes basket? could be fun but maybe I should test my theory before I go into full speed, Thankfully my mom and dad provided a test pilot by way of my little brother since surely he would not gain as much speed as I would right!


Mom and dad walked in just as "The Chosen One" crested the step....

I learned that my father was much faster then I thought he was but for some reason he must have agreed with me that his youngest son would be fine at the bottom of the stairs since I was over his knee long before my brother hit the bottom of the stairs...


I seriously got hundreds of attempts to kill my little brother, and for the most part he is normal to this day.

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

Just thought of another good one,

I'm now 18 and I had a toyota 4x4 pickup with "Hot" Pink KC lights on it and big tires, man what a blast greatest truck of all time Indestructable!

Me and a bunch of high school friends go up into the Rockies for a weekend camping/4 wheeling/shooting trip and I took my brother too, along with this little hottie I was seeing (brother got a private tent) anyway were on our way up there and the forest service would put these jumps in the dirt roads that were huge fun! (they were actually to keep runoff from destroying the dirt road base but when your 18 who cares right!) so obviously there is only 2 seats in the truck I have the bed loaded and one of those super cool web bungie things keeping everything(including my brother) from flying out the bed of my truck as I did my best Baja 1000 impression..


Let me help you visualize this a little bit, The truck would land I would check my super cool sectioned 3' long rear view mirror for my brother to land (Safety First) and once he came down I would then focus on the next jump....


My buddies said it reminded them of one of those paddles with a ball and the elastic attaching them...

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

I am three years younger than my sister,my only sibling. We were playing cowboys and robbers when I crept up behind her and was going to "knock her out" with my metal toy pistol. The good guys would grab their pistol by the barrel and conk the bad guy on the head and down they went.

That's not how real life happens. After I hit her on the back of her head, she yelled and screamed and was after me. Thankfully, I was quicker than she.

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

In my case, it's what my little brother did to me. I was the youngest and therefore the favorite of 4 kids when my little brother came along and religated me to being the middle child. He was 6 years younger than me and I'm pretty sure that the devil had just left him on our doorstep. For years he tormented me knowing that if I retaliated, I'm the one that would get punished for picking on my much younger sibling.

When he was about 7 years old he set up a trap for me. I was doing my homework and he started bugging me. He finally grabbed my book off of my desk and started running. I jumped up and gave chase but he had a bit of a head start. He ran into the living room and out the front door with me in hot persuit. What I didn't realize was that he had booby trapped the carpet in the living room. He had taken my mother's sewing pins and pushed about 50 of them up through the carpet from the bottom. He must of jumped past his trap but I got it, maybe 10 or 15 needles into my feet. Oh Gawd it hurt! He thought that this was the funniest thing ever and stood at the door laughing away while I writhed on the floor, wishing that I could stand long enough to rip him to pieces.

When mom and dad got home from work, I figured that now at least he would get his just punishment. Nope! Dad thought that this was the funniest prank ever performed and my mother was only concerned that I might have damaged her presious sewing pins.

Forty years later, I am still planning my revenge but I have never come up with something to top his prank.

next time your brother is over, try to get at his vehicle and connect the brake to the horn. i have done this on older cars, don't know what he drives but it has never taken long,or been to do or hard.

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

When I was about 10 years old I fell into a deep sleep and my cousin who is 1 year older than I am decided to put makeup on me. I was horrified when I woke up and vowed revenge. I got cleaned up and no one other than my cousin and I knew what happened. A couple of weeks later we were riding the go-cart on the farm. I was driving and she was sitting beside me. I headed across a field at full speed towards the frozen pond. When we hit the ice I cranked the wheel to send us into a spin. She was not holding on to anything and flew out of the go-cart breaking both arms on the ice. I felt terrible about it. The family just treated it like an accident. I was just trying to scare her. We never played any pranks on each other again. My younger male cousin and I did lots of stupid stuff that should have killed or seriously injured ourselves but we were both willing participants.

Yeah you need to be careful doing this, you can do some pretty good electrical damage to newer cars, its a very funny joke when done properly but can be expensive if done incorrectly.

if you can get hold of them I like to get long nylon wire ties about 1/4" thick and wrap them around the drive shaft near the muffler or catalytic convertor.....


Happy days!!

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

My younger brother stabbed me in the arm with a replica Conan the Barbarian sword, and on another occasion cracked me with a bullwhip.
This was in our mid/late teen years.

Before that, I think the only rough thing that happened was when I hit him with a shovel... but he had it coming...

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

Reverse.

My only sibling-brother-is six years older.

He, brilliantly, decided that I would make a good backstop/catcher since he was a good pitcher on the high school baseball team. He donned me with all the gear. Except, I couldn't keep the face mask on. My head was too small. Although my head turned out to be, apparently, a target of opportunity.

He decided that we needed to practice his fastball in the living room. He winged one at me that I never saw coming. Hit me directly in the forehead (explains a lot). I went lights out and he panicked. When Mom/Dad got home (no 911 at that time), I was on the couch-semi coherent and the knot on my head was as big as a golf ball for sure. Our Doctor, that lived down the street, was over and said I'd be fine. "just watch him tonight". "Let me know if he vomits".

My parents didn't think a whole lot about it since I was always banging my head into other things anyway. Lot's of facial stitches. Still "sport" the scars today.

I remember them saying: "well Doc can you stitch this up".

Re: You did WHAT to your younger sibbling???

I am the younger out of me and my bro.
He is 5 or 6 years older and lets just say he loves to drink.. he would come home half cut and jump on me and throw
me round the room (all in the name of fun) and im not a small guy..

early 90's i was doing my electronics trade. It was a Friday so i planned this well. While at work i grabbed a heap of capacitors and shoved them in my work bag.

Bro goes out to start the drinking. soon as we got the "come get me " phone call i put my plan into action..
Out comes my 40volt dc power supply and i charged up the capacitors from work. i think there were about 15 from memory. i placed some under his pillow and in his bed.

ahhh the noise from his drunken screams as he copped the first shock when he climbed into bed was great . then he put his hands under the covers to figure out what it was, well he found the rest and he copped a lot more he even "found" the ones under his pillow in the middle of the night
yeah i stayed at a mates place for a few days after that..
also ran some ht ignition wire from a spark plug on his car to my tool box while i was "working" on it for him.
*revving the engine* "hey bro grab a flat blade screw driver out the box for me" all i heard was "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU Ba$TARD" hahahahaha

even to this day i still do things like that to him
tho the next one will have to be good. last summer he put a tree spider in one of my shoes and it bit me between my two smallest toes.. owww that hurts lol
