Learn to play nice!

I was just listening to the CaliLove cast and I just realized that I have caused some sort of injury to ALL my siblings at some point.

First is my younger sister. When I was about 4 and she was probably 3, I hit her over the head with a plug multiple times until she bled a little. I know that sounds really bad (and it is really), but in my defense, I don't remember doing it. I don't remember much before the age of 8/9. I completely blame me hitting my sister on my parents, because they had her so soon after having me and I was probably doing it out of loyalty to them (trying to protect them from her, or so I like to tell myself).

Next was my younger brother (on whom I have tried to make up for what I did to my sister). Okay, so we were playing and he ended up chasing me around the house . I was 13 and he was 7. In my house, there is this huge mirror that hangs on the wall in the living room and there is a door that leads to the dining room really close to it. So I am running towards the mirror and I can see him behind me and it looks like he's not going to be able to stop in time before hitting the mirror, so in an attempt to save him from running into the mirror, I stick up my leg, kung fu style (yeah for tae-bo classes) so that he runs into that instead of the mirror, but I didn't time it right and .... I ended up knocking out his two front teeth. He didn't even realize until I started freaking out about all the blood coming from his mouth and then he looked in the mirror (the stupid mirror that caused it) and started to scream like I was trying to kill him. Let me jut put it this way, my parents weren't too happy, but I don't think I got into too much trouble. I think they understand that I didn't really mean to hurt him and we were (and still do actually) always running around and it was bound to happen at some point.

And then there is my older brother. This is the only one that I have no excuse for, although I still won't take the blame for it. So about a year later, we (us four kids) were hanging out in the room I shared with my sister. We were just talking and and my brother said something that really pissed me off. I have not idea what it was. At the time I let it go, but every time I thought about it, I would get mad some more, so that by that night, I was fuming. By this time, I didn't remember what he had said, just that he had made me mad earlier. I think the part that made me mad the most was that he didn't realize what he had said had made me mad. So after dinner (just us four kids, I think my parents had gone to a dinner party or something) we were walking upstairs to my room and I totally went off on him. I started hitting him and tried to grab anything around me to hit him with and I was screaming something about how everything that had ever gone wrong in my life was his fault and stuff like that. This went on for a good 10 minutes and he just stood there not knowing what was going on. He could totally had kicked my ass, but I think he was just too surprised to do anything. My sister and little brother were just so shocked that they just stood and watched. I am usually really chilled and nothing gets to me, which is probably why they didn't know what to do. While all this is happening, I am having an out of body experience and watching myself hit him. Suddenly I stop and walk away like nothing happened. I ended up apologizing to him later that night, but till this day, I have no idea what happened that night. Now whenever someone remembers that night, they are like "don't make her mad or she might go psycho on you".

None of my siblings have hurt each other, just me hurting them, but I have hurt myself mutiple times (like me hitting myself with the rounders ball) so its fair.

So kids, learn to play nice!

Oh, and sorry for the really long post, but I had to let it all out.
