But last night was the first time she hit me. On the arm. Hard. Really hard. There's no bruise, but it's still tender.
Admittedly, she was following a "Hit him for me," order from MichelleM. But it still hurt. She's got practice punching her older brothers, and I don't remember ever having to take a punch from my younger sister.
P: Would a kiss make it up to you?
Me: No!
P: So what would?
Me: How about grabbing my butt in front of the hot 20-year-olds?
P: Outside, after we leave?
Me: No. Inside, when they're watching.
P: [doubtful] Sure...
Me: I'm serious. And I'll have to think about how to react. Maybe I'll jump, squawk, and yell 'Did you just grab my butt?'
MichelleM: At least you know now not to mess with me. I'll hurt you!
my brother just older than me always did tell me it hurt when i hit. what can i say? being quieter than my siblings and smaller than my brothers created the need to defend myself...
ReplyDeleteand you forgot to include my response to you squawking about my hypothetical butt-grabbing: "sure did. come back here and i'll do it again."
Thanks to all my readers who have sent me links. This list of warning signs was most helpful.
ReplyDeleteBut I really don't think I'm in danger. I hope. *ducks*
She hits harder than she knows...as do my brothers who hit girls...okay, sisters, but we're still girls. I don't hit and have never raised a hand to my husband. Not all girls in my fam are so heavy handed!
ReplyDeletezeeny: Someone I know tells a different story. Something about you pinching so hard that one of your hands is actually larger than the other like a fiddler crab. I'm just saying what I heard.
ReplyDeletethat does give a whole new meaning to "heavy handed," doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteand maybe, just maybe, i wouldn't be tempted to actually do as MichelleM requests if you didn't give me reasons to be jealous, huh? all this talk of hot 20-year-olds and butt-grabbing...
P: Now you're trying to make it sound like I'm grabbing the butts of 20-year-olds. No one's falling for that.
