    Anything To Wake Her Up

    Facebook commenter shared the story of 'Anything To Wake Her Up' in 'aneverydaystory Readers Reveal Biggest Sibling Arguments'.Jennifer A:

    When I was 18 in high school, I worked Friday after school. I worked from 3 pm Friday until 8 am Sunday. I dozed off on the couch. She came over and poured water on me to wake me up because she wanted to sit there. She was 17. I smacked her with a ruler, leaving a welt on her back.

    Always Ask Before You Touch

    Facebook commenter shared the story of 'Always Ask Before You Touch' in 'aneverydaystory Readers Reveal Biggest Sibling Arguments'.Chantel T:

    I am the youngest of six. I recall an argument turning into a fight. Brother #4 got accused by Brother #2 of touching his turntable. They ran down the stairs and out the door. My little mom brought out the biggest, thickest wooden spoon and hit both of them in the bean. "Knock it off!" He picked it up by the arm, like paper, and threw him off!

    My brother and I argued about a plug in the wall. I got irritated, and he was working on a radio. I told him to stop unplugging my iron. He did it again. So I grabbed his radio and threw it outside in the yard. It broke, and my mom had to save my life. I was 16; he was 14. That is my story.

    The Case Of The Blinking Lamp

    Facebook commenter shared the story of 'The Case Of The Blinking Lamp' in 'aneverydaystory Readers Reveal Biggest Sibling Arguments'.Katie S:

    My poor sister. I used to annoy her constantly. My mom is deaf, and we had a system: lamps would blink around the house when the doorbell rang. I set this up in my sister’s room, pushed a button to make her lamp turn off and on continuously, and I would be downstairs. I remember hearing 'Katie!!!!!' from her room. I was evil.
