The Evil Big Sister that Still Lies Within...

My sister posted a story on her blog the other day that made me think about growing up with two younger sisters. When thinking back to those younger years, I have to laugh out loud. Let me first say that I dearly love my sisters - but being the "big" sister, I was quick to "stick it to them" as often as possible. Even at 33, I still have those evil "big sister" tendencies!

Let's see...I made Kelly eat dirt on several occasions. Of course, she tried to get out of it, but I threatened her with the, "I won't play with you anymore if you don't eat it!" tactic. She always gave in! And when we played "house," she was always the Dad or the dog. What little girl wants to be the Dad or the dog?! When your big sister makes the rules, you have no choice!

I also made both of my sisters my own personal slave. For whatever reason, they were at my beckon call. If I needed something, they would come running. They loved to sleep in my bed at night. I don't know if it was the "big sister" thing and they wanted to be around me, or if they were scared at night - but of course, I took advantage of this too! I would make them rub my back until I fell asleep. As they got older, they got wise to this and would try to negotiate getting their own back rub. I agreed, but only if I got the last back rub!

I remember my youngest sister Jennifer, always trying to get attention when any of my friends or boyfriends would come over to visit. She would do cart wheels through the living room, or try to squeeze in between my boyfriend and myself on the couch. I used to get so mad at her. One time, my boyfriend came over and was helping me with some chores I had to do. We were outside shucking corn. (Yes, you read that correctly. I grew up on a farm.) My sister decided it was time to put on a show for my boyfriend. She started running around the yard, trying to get our dog to chase her. I kept telling her to get lost, but she wouldn't listen. Just about that time, she fell down and the dog jumped on her back and started to "dry hump" her from behind. Instead of helping my sister, I just laughed and laughed. She was maybe 8 or 9 at the time, with a 50-60 pound Rottweiler on her back! Sisterly love!

Being the big sister, I gave lots of "Atomic Wedgies." My poor sisters...I don't think they owned one pair of panties that wasn't ripped at the waist. And if they were around when I was folding clothes (one of my chores)?! I would be sure to find a pair of my Dad's tightie whities to shove on top of their heads! They especially loved that, I'm sure!

Needless to say, I was the evil big sister growing up. Even now, I still catch the evilness coming out in me. K-Bugg loves to wrestle with her Daddy (we watch UFC around here). When she tries to wrestle with me, I am famous for whipping out the "Atomic Wedgie!" (Don't worry...I'm gentle.) She hates wedgies. Kevin has said on many occasions, "I feel sorry for your sisters! I bet you tortured them growing up." I guess I did...

Sorry, Kelly and Jennifer! I really did love you - and still do!

Jennifer is going to kill you for posting that story! You know that she is still sensitive about that, even today. And hey, Jennifer, I would be too! It is amazing that in this post, you have forgotten to write about our wrestling matches on the old matress outside...maybe I'll post about that. It is a true "red neck" story that deserves to be told. The other thing you forgotten to mention is how you would instigate things between me and Jennifer just to watch US fight. You truely are EVIL....but we love you anyways!

I remember my mom made me let my little sister sllep in my room because she was afraid of the dark. She would not stop talking one night so I clocked her right in the nose. Yes...It bled. I had to bribe her not to tell my mom.

I am a mother, wife and full-time teacher, with a very sassy little girl (daughter 1) on my hands and another one following in her footsteps (daughter 2). And I wonder where the gray hairs are coming from?
