My older sister and I are great friends now, but it wasn't always that way. When we were both still at home I used to drive her crazy by:
1. Borrowing her clothes without asking. I especially looked for the newest outfits that she was saving for a special occasion. I didn't care whether they fit or not.
2. I would experiment with her make up and leave a mess on her dresser.

3. Each evening she made good lunches to take to her part-time job the next day. How did I know they were good? I took them to school for my lunch!
4. One thing would really drive her up the wall; I would eat all the potato chips but one and leave the puffed up bag on the kitchen cabinet.
5. I would hide behind the couch when her boyfriend came over, then when they got going with the necking, pop up and say "Caught you!"
6. I would repeat all the things they said to each other while I was behind the couch
7. I would whine until Mother made her take me with her to meet her friends at the skating rink.
8. I not only read her diary, I used some of that juicy information to blackmail her from time to time. It didn't matter where she hid that diary, I could always find it! Her locks didn't keep me out either!
9. I would switch her LP albums in their covers. That would be the equivalent of putting the wrong CDs in the wrong cases today.
10. I once put a dead mouse in her coat pocket. She went postal that day. I never did it again, though, Mom saw to that!
