Top 10 Ways To Drive Your Brother Or Sister Crazy

Driving your brother or sister crazy is an art worthy of perfection, also an art that must be perfected if you don’t want to be the one slowly going crazy. You don’t have to mean or destructive to make a sibling hop on the train to crazyville. Doing ill spirited things will more than likely only cause anger and get you into trouble, I think we call all agree there’s not much fun in that. You do have to be creative . . . Think of things that would bug you and go from there. My younger sister and I used various methods in our quest to drive one another absolutely bonkers . . . Sadly, I must admit to total and utter defeat. She won on a daily, sometimes hourly basis but I didn’t walk away without having learned a few things, someday she will pay.I have four children, all quite skilled in their methods of madness, I’ll share just a small sampling of how they try and generally succeed in driving each other crazy. If you want to make your brother or sister crazy here are just a few of their tried and true methods, I think my little sister has been feeding them information to tell you the truth.(1) Open their bedroom door without knocking and then just stand there. Say nothing. Do nothing. Make sure to duck when they throw something at you! I’ve seen my children dodge shoes, cell phone, video games and apple cores, gross I know but at least they threw them somewhere.(2) Take the towel out of the bathroom while they are showering. While this does indeed annoyed the soaking wet, towel challenged sibling, it also angers the mother being yelled at to replenish the towel supply.(3) Stare at them. An oldie but a goodie, staring contests can go on for hours. I love staring contests. I offer prizes. It keeps them quiet and occupied. Bonus.(4) Tell them mom or dad wants them (they don’t) Do it again later. Maybe one more time after that and when mom or dad really does want them they won’t believe you! You do run the risk of having this one backfire though. When brother or sister doesn’t come when mom or dad calls you may just get stuck with whatever unwanted chore was meant for them.(5) Switch dinner plates with them if they leave the table, variations could include simply taking what you want off of their plate or loading theirs up with unwanted and unsavory items from your own.(6) Sit or stand close to them without actually touching them, stare them straight in the eyes and just smile. Now from experience I know you can get hurt doing this. Close proximity annoyances can be dangerous.(7) Tell them one of their teachers called mom at work, look serious and speak softly and slowly. Act supportive and tell them mom didn’t seem too happy when she came home.(8) Unplug their TV and watch them try to turn it on for twenty minutes. I have to admit doing this to my husband. With no siblings of my own in the battle arena I have to occupy myself somehow. I have needs too.(9) Hide their shoes, better yet, hide just one of them. It’s amazing the places people will resort to looking when a shoe has gone missing. My son once looked in the refrigerator and the shower. Too bad he didn’t check the washing machine.(10) Tell them you love them and give them a hug. Works every time. This could actually cause psychological damage but we all need to know we are loved.The possibilities are endless, just remember to maintain your innocence no matter what and never admit defeat . . . I did. In my defense she was a ruthless little thing. In case you’re wondering if it works my therapist will assure you it does.
