Siblings?

[warpig1]

Just thinking on the way home last night, after the 'living daylights' question, on a lighter note who stood behind their parents when a sibling was getting reprimanded and pointed and laughed, come on, own up.

[China Doll]

I was usually the one getting reprimanded :0(

[ummmm]

Absolutely.

Then I'd get a belt when no one was looking

[serendipity1]

i used to get told off by my mum she used to chase us (my brother and i) to smack us but coukdnt catch up that used to make me laugh , and shed sometimes smack me as i was running up the stairs and catch me with her sharp nails on the back of the legs, she also used to get so angry with us shed shout and end up spitting which would also make us laugh, we were horrible , she used to tear her hair out! poor mum!

[serendipity1]

answered a bit of a differnt question there didnt i?

[noxlumos]

My little brother Micheal latched onto the fact that I could be blamed for anything and used to point the finger at me on a regular basis so my Dad had a go at me. T his in turn would result in my elder sister Roisin belting the bejasus out of him for getting me belted when Dad had gone out. lol
Dysfunction all round...lol.

[ummmm]

Funny. I remember my mum grabbing me by the arm to smack my bum and I'd be running round in circles and she always missed

[serendipity1]

i know that one too ummm!

Usually we were that bad mum wouldn�t know who to tell off, so she�d get us all together and ask �who did that� but knowing I was supposed to keep a straight face, made it worse and I�d always laugh or smile and then mum would think it was me anyway.

[warpig1]

ummmm, yep that was my mum to, and did she smack you once for every word she said. Am sure my mum made her sentences longer just to smack us more!!! Think Billy Connolly once touched on this and he was spot on.

'If (smack) I (smack) have (smack) told (smack) you (smack) once (smack) I (smack) have (smack)' and so it goes!

[ummmm]

Yea.

So funny. If my Dad done it he used to bite his tougue.

Why???

[Pippa68]

I did more than that ~ I did the full 'way hey you are in trouble' dance.

I still do..

[redcrx]

my brother used to bribe my youngest sister so she'd take the blame for pretty much anything :)

I wouldnt dare laugh or smirk usually but do remember laughing when my brother got thrown, fully dressed, into the bath one night because he refused to have a bath.

[claireyfairy]

well my 14 year old sister rolled in last night with her lip pierced and I was trying my damnest not to laugh but nearly ended up crying so just gave up an laughed out loud, mum was not a happy bunny and my sis just kept saying "stop laughing!" over and over!!!! (really mature for my 23 years aren't I)

Other than that, we used to stick up for each other cos out of the thee of us our parents were usually telling off the wrong one!!

[4getmenot]

Yer he did redcrx, remember the bottle of baileys found empty outside the bathroom window and mum said if no-one owns up then we couldn�t go to youth club, so bro told lil sis that if she said it was her he�d get her a toffee crisp at youth club. So she owned up and mum was so annoyed none of us got to go.

[warpig1]

So who did drink the Baileys???

[4getmenot]

Brother did. :-) It was only a miniture bottle, he'd gone in bathroom drank it, then thrown it out window. He still denies it though.

I remember the 'stand still while I wallop you dance' ~ it was usually accompanied by the no no no song, with siblings harmonies of laughing and a bass line of 'give him another one mum that one missed'.
My youngest sister could always get away with everything while my older brother adopted a guerrilla style, deflect the blame, tactic by always saying 'it was him' before anyone had a chance to argue the point. As it usually was me it worked every time.

[warpig1]

oh yes the old 'it was him' approach, used that one myself many times!!!

[samuel23]

Any one ever get told (usually after you'd been smacked and are yelling your head off, with the tears and snot racing each other for first place on your chin) stop that noise or I'll give you something to cry about.
WTF? I'm crying because you gave me something to cry about in the first place!
You then sort of bubble up, trying to keep your mouth shut so the noise stops, but as you are crying it bursts out in a sort of bub bub bub sound

[4getmenot]

I always did the hyperventilating crying
