Bully!

In the summertime I used to stay home with my sister Dawn while my mom was at work. We used to fight alot and she used to punch me on the arms and kick my shins all the time (I swear my shin bones are bumpy to this day because of this.....). I did not have my mom's work number memorized so I would keep her business card tucked away in my dresser drawer so I could find it if I needed to call her. One day Dawn went in and took the card so I couldn't call mom and I cried and cried and cried. I remember getting a pair of scissors in my room, going out to the living room, and throwing the scissors at her. Luckily I did not do any damage.....

A few other bullying moments I remember:
*Dawn taking my Cabbage Patch Kids and banging thier heads on the wall. This would make me cry because I really thought they had feelings and were getting hurt!
*Dawn putting a blanket over my head to make me scared - I thought she was suffocating me and I would cry.....
*My mom used to have a drafting desk downstairs. Dawn and our neighbor Andrea hid under the desk and had me invite the other neighborhood kids over. They told me to try to get the other kids to say bad things about them and when they did they would come out and beat them up.
*When Dawn used to cut my hair she would purposly cut it uneven so that she could keep cutting it shorter and shorter.
*My nickname from her was moo-cow for a big part of my growing up.

I guess if those are the only bad things I remember...I guess it wasn't all that bad...but she still was a bully!

2/8 /08 - I just thought of a few new bullyings.....
*We had a neighbor with cerebal palsy, David Broz. We would take whirly-birds that fell from the trees, peel them, and tell him that the seeds were jelly beans
*We used to play school in our garage with the neighbors - once Dawn poured glue all over Mike Johnsons head and rubbed it in with a blanket
*Dawn also tried to get Mike Johnson to eat worms by telling him t hat they tasted like strawberries.
