    my little sister called airheads lickers because they looked like tongues, and one time at a concession stand when my mom said she couldn't have one she threw an epic fit and now there's an incredible video of her screaming "I WANT MY LICKER I WANT MY LICKER" and my dad laughing in the background and saying "don't worry you'll have this exact same breakdown in college"

    This is how my 2.5 year old niece insists on holding her new baby brother. We worried that she might be jealous and have a tough time with the new baby but she has been nothing but THRILLED to have him around (this is subject to change, of course...)

    My dad apparently once threw his little brother through a window. He was tossing my toddler uncle above his head, and I don't even know how, but I guess he misthrew, or my uncle moved or something, and he went through one of the windows. He's completely fine now, but I bet my dad felt awful

    I once brushed my teeth beside my brother as kids. While I had been taking karate class. He tried the "made you flinch" in the mirror. I had been taking drills that taught how to turn flinch into smack. Predictable results occur

    Because aspirating hot sauce in your sleep is so hilarious. It's dangerous and could have done serious harm. Di­ck.
