Why won’t our Mom get wet?

Sis refused to go on any rides. About half way through the day we thought she had relented when she changed into her bathing suit – nope, she just wanted to sun tan.

While we were in line my nieces cornered me;

Ns: Why won’t mom get wet?
Me: I don’t know.
Ns: did you do something to her?
Me: No!
Ns: Are you sure? She says you did something to her in the swimming pool?
Me: We never had a swimming pool!

The kids are familiar with the stories of us as kids. Sis used a metal lawn dart to check my reflexes/stab me in the knee. Since she was afraid I would tell or retaliate, she locked me into our tree house for the afternoon.

I used to hide under her bed and reach out and grab her ankles when she walked by.

She had nightmares about a pack of devils with pitchforks chasing her and I was leading the pack.

I am missing a piece of my ear – I have no idea why, but I tell everyone my sister bit it off and they believe me. Sis goes along with it, she likes instilling fear in people, especially small children!
