Pondering with a Purpose - Siblings

Welcome to Pondering with a Purpose -

This is my weekly hop where I post a prompt and you get to write to it on your blog - come back here and add it to my linky and then we all get to go read what you wrote!

I started Pondering with a Purpose because -- simply put -- I am a writer - - that is what I do (I just can't help myself)! And although I love following all the hops, I wanted to see if I could bring out some creativity in not only myself, but some of my blogger friends as well.

The rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in my sidebar)
2. Look at the week's prompt
3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.
4. Come back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list below.
5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.
6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:  Siblings

Is there something that you remember from childhood that your siblings did to embarrass you? Or did you do something to one of your siblings?

A while ago I posted about what my brothers did to scare me during Carrie and how they tried to embarrass me during Star Wars... that is seriously just the tip of the iceberg.

I am the youngest... and only girl... so I suppose I was easy prey!

Here's a classic example of their shenanigans:
We go into Baskin Robbins ice cream - I must have been 10 or 11 - and I ask for a sample of something (I don't remember what flavor) -- I didn't like it so I asked for a different one. Then all of a sudden my brother says, "You know you can't just eat samples and not pay for a cone here like you do every other time." I was so embarrassed I just ordered the last flavor I had tried -- and this I do distinctly remember --- it was banana and it was awful!! I have not been able to walk into a Baskin Robbins again without that memory flooding back.

another flawed memory:
We all had to walk or ride our bikes home from school... which was about a mile away. I was in 7th grade and one of my brothers rode by me with his friends... and pretended he didn't even know who I was. Well I yelled, "Youngerman Sucks!" --- and don't you know that he went straight home and told my mom so I could get in trouble. Forget the fact that he was supposed to be riding home with me... that point got lost somewhere.

or how about the time my brother and I were 16 and 18 respectively and we were in a hardware store and a salesman walked up to ask us if we needed help. My brother turned to me and said, "I don't know, cupcake, what do you think?"

I am sure my children have memories like this --- although they've yet to share them with me!!! Other than when my son refused to take my daughter to school... and I was already at work. AHHHH... the good old days!!

How about you? Any fond (or not so fond) memories of childhood???

I'd love it if you left a comment, or wrote a post and linked up... or better yet BOTH!

Happy Pondering!!!
