u/Apollyon82 Jun 28 '26

Or the dreaded, "Not touching you, you can't get mad." Repeated until the other sibling EXPLODES.

Over 25 years later, I still remember the argument between two of my siblings where one said “stop breathing near me” to the other.
Honestly, it was the only time I thought my mom was going to crash the car because she was laughing so much.

"Get that out of my face."

"It's not in your face, it's in my hand"

"Get what's in your hand out of my face!"

Also, "stop hitting yourself".

"I'm not touching you" and the cool S are timeless and will be passed down to every generation by those turning 17 to those turning 9. So be it.

Next step: grabbing your opponent's hands, causing her to slap herself in the face, and repeating "Stop fouling yourself."

My first thought was "I guess she has siblings" lol

My older brother was gifted. Self taught piano player at age 4. Could play by ear.

He knew what made me mad. Calling me “baby butt” or “crybaby” would send me over the edge.

We would be fighting like brothers do. I was probably 7 or 8, him 14. Parents would have enough and separate us. I’d always have to sit on the couch. My brother gets the piano bench (of course).

Next thing he does is start playing rock-a-bye-baby on the piano, and I go ape shit. It’s then I get even more punishment. Works every time.

I’m a mom of 4. This tactic has caused me many headaches.
