Seaside shennanigans
I have always been fascinated by the level of trust I put in my younger brother, despite repeated examples of how stupid this is. One example:

We were holidaying in Cornwall. I think I was about 9 and he was 8. Now, the thing about the Cornish sea is that it is filled with tiny, stingy bits of jellyfish as a result of said animals getting caught in fishing nets and being hacked into small pieces to get them out. My brother had spent an industrious afternoon filling a sand-castle bucket with bits of jellyfish. He then somehow convinced me that they were not stingy and I should test this by sticking my hand in the bucket.

Pain. Stupidity was rewarded by pain.

I did however eventually get him back by buggering off to university and leaving him to feel the full force of my parents' attention for a whole year all alone. Bwahahahahaha.
