Siblings

The above picture was just too hilarious not to share. I came across it yesterday and absolutely wet myself laughing! It got me thinking about all the “delightful” things we do to our siblings growing up...

Ben and I are older siblings to Sam and when we were younger, we would exchange our “big” money for his “little” money. Nothing like swapping a 50c piece for a $2 coin!! 

Sophie is very generous when it comes to playing with Elliott...she happily gives him the broken or substandard toy and declares "I'm a good sister sharing with Elliott". If you say so, Sophie J   

When my Mum was younger she was drying the dishes with one of her older sisters. Said older sister was just giving Mum the sh@#s so Mum belted her over the back of the head with Grandma's baking tray! It dented the tray and Mum got in trouble, but the tray stayed in regular use for years after the incident...for cooking, not discipline!

While on the subject of violence, my hubby, Mat, is one of four boys so you can imagine the shenanigans that went on in that household! One incident that is often recalled is the day he and two of his older siblings were sent outside to "sort things out". They each grabbed their weapon of choice and for some reason, Mat picked up an arrow. He threw it, it got his brother in the face and to this day, said brother still bares the scar...I am not surprised both his parents hair went gray before they reached 50!  

So take a trip down memory lane and reflect on all the nice...and not so nice...things you and your siblings did to each other. It will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face for a Friday J
