Sibling fun

MICHAEL

Nothing like putting a bug down your sister’s back to help her remember that she has the worst older brother ever.

Somehow I suspect my one year old granddaughter will do that to her 4-years-older brother. She is Mike and her brother is Liz. She is only one but she has displayed mischievousness.

Cartoons like this point out why I’m glad I never had any siblings.;-D

Can’t help it………… I get a kick out of these sibling skirmishes when Michael wins…….. snickersnicker…………. ;-)

Wow, that is so mean! I have to admit that’s a pretty good prank though.

Unnecessary meanness…

Tomorrow’s strip: Michael gets coronavirus.

gotcha!

Justifiable homicide. Just kill him!

Michael reminds me of my brother.

Elizabeth, if you REALLY want to get even……Mark Twain told a real story he did as a kid, while sharing a bed with another sibling, and seeing a lot of hornets on the window. He put a crease in the blankets, and swept a lot of hornets down under the covers of the other side of the bed ( at risk of only a few stings to himself!) . The sibling gets in bed…pauses…says “ There is something in this bed” . Pause. “ There are thousands of them”. Pause. Mark was having extreme trouble keeping from laughing. Eventually Mark wakes up with his sibling beating the crap out of him, with Mark laughing the whole time.This was from “ Mark Twain’s autobiography”.

I never did anything like that to my brothers. I must have been weird.

Hmmm. Elizabeth needs to learn how to give payback. A short-sheeted bed? Tennis shoes quietly untied and retied together under the table, while he’s wearing them?

And, of course, his hands are like ice.
