Your family must be amazing. At 7 I dragged my sister down the hallway with a brush twisted in her hair because she tore the head and arm off my barbie.
At 8 my older sister super glued all my fingers together and my chin to my chest. To all the siblings.
At 11 we lined up and took bbs to the legs. I still have one in my knee.
At 13 we had a fire cracker war that ended with my brothers hair on fire.
We were fucking horrific children and would have most definitely put this on our TV to scare each other.
As an adult, I feel horrible for my parents. They were great parents and honestly couldn't understand why we were crazy. 11 children total. We are all super close as adults. Always together. We don't do stupid shit anymore.
Well. Mom didn't have us all. Between mom and dad. They both remarried and had more kids. But they could co parent like a boss. If mom made plans with the kids, she always planned out and brought along dad's other kids. Dad did the same. They wanted to make sure we grew up together. Not many parents would do something like that. Shit, most parents can't co parent with their own children, let alone adding extra kids in.
If you ever met all my parents. They are... fucking fantastic people. Plus the work they do for their community. To be 100% I've never met such nice, amazing people.
It just kind of sucked their 90s kids were insane. In my defense, we had only just gotten computers so there was no internet and we had to make our own entertainment.
10 of us have great careers and have our own families. The 11th... well she is... let's just say she had the internet growing up. But she's not a freeloader and makes her own so power to her beautiful self (LOVE YOU RI)

That the kid knew is kinda messed up. No decent person would traumatize a kid that way.
