In a previous post I told you about my Evil Twin and how she tortured my younger sister Ann. I wish I could say that I feel really bad about what I did to my sister... but truth be known... not so much.
I still find it more funny than evil. What I do feel bad about is the one and only time I tortured my little brother.
At 11 years old it was often my job to mind my younger siblings and that's what I was supposed to be doing when it happened. My sister Ann was on the floor playing with her barbies while I entertained my two year old brother. Like most two year olds he was into everything and generally driving me crazy with his constant need for attention.
So I sat him down in the Barbie pile.
He started to whine.
He pointed and started to back away.
Aha! I saw the problem... barbie's head was off.
Decapitated.
And without thinking I grabbed the head and held it by a few strands of her hair and dangled it in front of him. The look of sheer terror on his face had me in fits of laughter and it took me a few seconds to realize he was holding his breath and turning purple. Oh Jeez what was wrong with him? Why wouldn't he breathe? I shook him until he let out a blood curdling scream. I quickly clamped my hand over his mouth to stifle him but it was too late.
Oh.Dear.God.
I could hear her coming.
Footsteps pounding full out in 'Who The Hell Is Hurting My Precious Son Mother Mode'.
Girls were expendable... she had six of them... but boys were a rare commodity having produced only two of the creatures.
She ranted.
She raved.
I cringed.
She ranted some more.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
I had no answer.
What was I thinking?
No clue.
Nope.
Nada.
See that's the problem... I wasn't thinking. I just acted without any pre-meditated thought... which is how most acts of stupidity occur. How could I make her understand that I wasn't responsible? The Evil that lurked inside just popped out when opportunity arose. Hell if I could keep that genie in the bottle... I would.
What was my little brother thinking? In his baby mind - was the head real? Albeit, a very small head but I guess he thought it was a real head... dunno.
Did I traumatize him for life? Naaawwwww... As far as I know he has no Barbie phobia's... at least none that I'm aware of ;-)

oh Dawn.
I'm SO appalled by you.
*wink*
It is amazing how bits of our past can flash back and you say, "What was I thinking?" Although, it is harder to have an excuse if it happened last week...
As someone who has had an evil thought or two..I had to giggle..My sister still brings up my evi moments to this day although she isn't any worse for the wear from what I can see...:))))
ps..your favorite drinking song is on my latest post...country music rocks....:))))))))) just a little evil from me to you..
LOL- Too funny!
Oh Rachel... no you're not ;)
Bud - I try not to think about last week :)
Robert - they get over it... they just like to remind us now and then!
Corrina - thanks for stopping by!
BTW - I don't think my comments are going through on your blog :(
The last comment I got from you was on the Wordless Wednesday one... Have you left more? I'll double check. Thanks for letting me know. :-)
LOL- Ok that's why... They were awaiting moderation (effing spammers!). They are there now though! Thanks for the comments!
Sis & I were too far apart in age to do this type of torment...but I had cousins around my age...and we were so bad to each other at times! And you're right...you're not thinking. Well...thinking it would be funny is about all we were thinking...thinking that someone could get hurt or in trouble...nope...we never thought that. ;)
Thanks Corrina :)
drowsey - You're right.. funny was the only thought in my head. Never occurred to me that I was traumatizing a two year old!
My kids have got various amputees for dolls. They just include them in their games ... we have a Mr Headless Man, we have a poor Action Man who lost both legs (obviously a vet of some war?) - we have Barbies with various parts of them missing.
I'm now wondering why my kids aren't traumatised?
Cool post. x
LOL... that's hilarious. Poor guy. What you did reminds a lot of the stuff my brother used to do to me. When I sat in the front seat of the car, he would sit in the back seat and pull on my seatbelt and choke me. I don't think my mom ever caught on.
The sibling dynamic is always an interesting one!
Dolls are creepy especially decapitated ones. But what fun is being a big sister if you can't discover new torture techniques?
This post reminds me of the times my brothers used to come in my room at night with a flash light under their chin illuminating their evil faces! Little monsters...but I turned out o.k., or I think I did...uh oh this post might not have made you feel any better, huh? :))
Hilarious post~
Ann
Kitty - LOL at the war vet! I think at two years old he just didn't get what he was looking at... and of course I thought it was hilarious that he'd actually be afraid of it.
Jillian - my older brother got away with everything! Of course I always got caught red handed... hmmmm... guess he was smarter than me!
pool - I wonder why some of us turn out to be the torturers and others the victim. My sister Ann was my number one target!
Ann - Laughing at your little brothers. That's my kind of evil... and you like my sister Ann did survive without too much mental damage! I hope.
I think it is perfectly NORMAL that you did that to your little brother. I dont know any sibling that didnt torture each other...at least on some level. Shit, I know I was AWFUL to my brother....
I was the oldest of three and the only male child. My life was made oh so complicated by those two female devils. I got away with nothing and I was the only one who ever behaved. In fact, I was a perfect angel. And I have proof...they lived to reach adulthood!
Ha ha,
I remember telling a friend to stare down a rolled up piece of paper... then for some weird reason I threw a pen down it and it almost went straight in his eye!
What was I thinking? Like you.... no idea!
Meleah - I agree torturing your siblings is normal... I just feel bad about picking on a two year old :(
Lee - Female devils? HA! I don't believe for one minute that you were an innocent angel :-p
Forest - LMAO... I shouldn't be laughing... but see that's the kind of stupid things I did :))))
