okay this is how i got her back
if you are a follower of my blog, you
may remember my story for the letter “w”---
after that blog, i had many comments
wanting to know how i got my sister back, from the washing machine
incident----now i will tell you a couple of the ways--
first i must confess, there was some
tension already in place, as i- believe it or not-was not the perfect
little sister, all of the time---
one little offense has stayed with my
mean old sister for years—why, she brings it up every time we are
together, if there is birthday cake--
you see as a child, everyone always had
the lovely birthday cakes with the beautiful icing roses---well
everybody knows, you just go ahead and eat them---but not my fastidious sister, no she saved hers----
once when she wasn't home, those delicious roses called
to me from her room inside the little jewelry box, inside the tiny cardboard box, where she thought she hid them so cleverly----well
this is pretty predictable---they were not even that good tasting any
longer---as a matter of fact, i had to choke them down-----
as i recall, she pretty much choked me
that evening----
back to the wmi, as it will be referred
to from now on, because i am lazy----
well i thought and thought, for what
seemed like months, as to what hideous thing i might repay my dear
sister with---i had it, but could i pull it off----oh boy did i-
there she was, all prettied up waiting
for her handsome date---i think it may have been their first
date—that is what i choose to remember------well she steps out of
the front door—giggling as he held the door for her--- blushing
slightly as he helped her with her all too preppy" tally ho" sweater--
and there i was, she looked across the
porch at me, with a look, like---yes i am lovely am i not and don't
you just wish you were me--
that look was all it took—any
reluctance on my part, to do the horrid deed i was about to do, left
me in that instant--
i pulled up the garden hose and blasted
her until she dripped, just like i had that fateful day in my
adorable candy striper uniform-----dripped she did, in front of her
stunned boyfriend-----
i don't really have a clear memory of
what happened next---i may have blacked out—-as i remember it, she
did end up going on her precious date-----but i had won—--and no
matter what awful, life-threatening thing she could do to me, --nothing could dampen my warrior's win!
That is so funny lynn!! Way to go!
ReplyDeletehaha glad you liked it-thanks;)
DeleteI knew you were my kind of person. Sadly,I have no siblings, so when I did something like this it was usually between my mother and me. Talk about paying a price.
ReplyDeletehahahaha, i bet--ya probably didn't go for it too often, huh ;)--thanks!
DeleteHysterical, thanks for sharing. Great way to start off the day, with a laugh.
ReplyDeletehaha glad i could do it!! thanks :)
DeleteLOL - and there I was thinking you were such a gentle, kind soul!!! I had to go back to see the wmi because I missed it. ROFL - I had a brother and we did pretty much the same naughty things to each other, but we wouldn't be without each other either!!
ReplyDeletehaha i know--it's funny she and i became really close as we grew up a little--thanks susan ;)
DeleteOh, that was funny, Lynn. My cousin threw ice water on me when I was in the bath. Talk about shocking. I didn't run and chase her, like I should have, and never repaid her. You at least had some satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I met Diane Gabaldon at the last SIWC conference here in Vancouver and she was a gracious lady who took the time to read my synopsis and suggest some excellent changes. I had booked a crit appointment with her. I also met her son, a fantasy writer, but my appointment was with Diane. I was very impressed, and I love the way she writes. She's extremely nice.
Hope you'll enter a Reflections post, Lynn.
oh i will share this with my dil adie---she has me reading the outlander series too--i am a little slower though---but she does of course, write lovely--i do plan to write a reflection post--thanks d.g.
DeleteLOL; what a great way to get her back, almost an eye for an eye, a wet candy stripper's uniform for a wet date night attire :)
ReplyDeletetoo cute too about the roses she saved from the birthday cakes; I too would have thought after a period of time they would almost taste a bit rancid :)
the things we do with our siblings and then we are best of buddies now :) (hoping that is the case with you and your sister :)
betty
i think they probably were rancid---i don't remember getting sick though i might not have noticed, after my sister's smack down---and we are very close today :)
DeleteI am glad you posted the revenge. Oh my how funny to get her back with the hose.
ReplyDeletehaha yeah i remember still, how good it felt!
DeleteYay for the little sister! I'm so glad that you found a fun and harmless way to retaliate! I was usually too much of a wimp to fight back with my brother. Julie
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, now my little brother was another story ;)
DeleteThat is hilarious! This is my first visit to your blog, but I still enjoyed this. Maybe because I have a sister? : )
ReplyDeletehaha i probably is because of that--thanks for coming by!!!
DeleteOh my word, I'm laughing so hard. You may have blacked out because she punched you out?
ReplyDeleteSo funny--and sweet revenge.
T
she may very well have haha--i'm glad you like it!;)
DeleteYou blacked out? What happened? Did she punch you? Too funny!
ReplyDeletei was taking a little poetic license :)
DeleteToo funny! Good for you for getting her back. I wish I could have seen the look on her face!
ReplyDeleteif only we had cell phones then--thanks ;)
DeleteHa! A fitting revenge. :)
ReplyDeletehaha, i thought so too ;)
DeleteRetribution. How sweet and (in your case) damp it can be.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah ;0
DeleteI'm laughing too. I can picture the hose, the water, the wet hair and clothes. I can picture you.
ReplyDeletehaha me too, just like it was yesterday--thanks!
DeleteOh, Lynn, I have a stitch in my side from laughing so much. Thanks for sharing memories from your past, funny ones at that! I guess at the time it wasn't so funny though. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteit was funny to me even at the very second---haha i am glad you got such a good laugh out of it---thanks and hope your week is great too!:)
DeleteHAHAHAHA!!! That was perfect! Thanks for the belly laugh!
ReplyDeleteso glad to give you one haha thanks;)
DeleteDeliciously wicked, Lynn. Kind of makes me glad I didn't have a sister though. A kid brother was tough enough.
ReplyDeletehaha, yes i guess it was pretty delicious---yeah, those brothers---thanks patricia :0
DeleteOh, Lynn! So proud to know you! Did this battle continue to rage throughout the years? I hope there are more stories to come...
ReplyDeletethere are maybe a few more--don't know if i can write about them haha-jk--thanks susan--proud to know you too!!;)
DeleteGood for you Lynn. That was an interesting story. I had to keep reading.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks anthony--i'm glad you read!
DeleteYou are so hilarious :) I've never heard of anyone saving their frosting flowers.

DeleteLyn, I have a sister too, and I can relate to all of your 'sisterly love'! Very funny!
ReplyDeleteyes, as only another sister can--thanks;)
DeleteGood one! (I had to go back and read your W post to get the full effect!)
ReplyDeletehaha i am glad you went back--thanks brenda!
Deletelol..oh Lynn, I really wanted to know how you paid her back. Weee! That was really something. Oh, the joy of having siblings.
