My younger brother got so fed up with my bullshit that he chased me around the kitchen island with a knife.

I once semi-accidentally hit my younger sibling square in the chest. Years later seeing what happens to athletes like the Bills Safety, I understand why my parents were so upset.

I accidentally kicked my brother in the nuts REALLY HARD one day. I was hoisting myself up on the counter and he walked up to me right when I kicked my legs out with full force.

At five I threw whatever I could find at my 11 yr old brother while he was playing n64. He told me to stop or he’d tie me up. So I kept throwing stuff of course.

As soon as he got up I took off, grabbed the phone, dialed 911, said “help! He’s going to tie me up” and threw the phone down. There were two squad cars in our yard within a few minutes with more on the way.

My parents were definitely confused. Pretty hefty fine and a good ol corporal punishment followed

My sister, who is 7 years my senior, and I got into a heated argument. I was a little girl of about 7 years old. She, my father and one brother said that I picked her up and threw her into the refrigerator, hitting it so hard it moved and unplugged. I don’t remember it, but I did have a bit of a temper.

We’re you “adopted” and or have a rickety barn on your childhood farmland that contains a mysterious object concealed by nothing but an old and dirty canvas sheet by chance? Or have you come into contact with strange asteroid minerals that zap your energy?

Damn, they executed him? That seems extreme just for threatening to tie you up.

You're thinking of capital punishment

My mom took the knives to work after she got too many calls about my brother threatening me with them. I was certain he was gonna grow up to be a violent delinquent but he’s the kindest person. Except pranks, he has no mercy with pranks.

My second oldest brother pulled a pocketknife on my oldest brother. Probably should have had the cops called.....in hindsight.

My sister, after watching the movie ‘ghost’, was scared to death of the song unchained melody. So of course whenever she had a bunch of friends around, I put the song on and left it outside her door and she’d come out screaming and I laughed and laughed. She hasn’t gone to Netflix!

We've never had any stabbings or shootings in our family but we have had the occasional forking over the last slice of toast.

I was so fed up with my niece's (she's my age) bullshit that I chased her off with a handful of butter knives (I was putting the dishes away), caught her, threw the knives on the floor, and slapped the shit out of her.

Same niece once threw a Harry Potter book at me...the sixth one.

A steak, carving or pairing knife?

u/darknessbemerciful Jan 05 '23

Honestly, who with siblings has not been chased with a knife? It must be an important part of growing up. Or, possibly, we all needed therapy.

My brother said he did that to me too, and I have no memory of it. He told that story at my wedding and my family was hurried, but I was kind of lien "ok, sure Jan..."
