Screwdriver
I have two younger sisters but it was always fairly prosaic fighting-hair pulling, scratching, biting, the usual.

However, my mum was one of nine children and by all accounts she and her older brother Steven were not the best of friends. One day he decided to swap the sugar for salt, which made my mum spit cereal everywhere and look generally stupid-I think it was that that really set her off.

She decided to exact revenge with a not entirely level response. She took a long screwdriver and placed it with the handle wedged in the sofa and the prong upright. She then staged a fight, allowing her to push him onto the upright screwdriver. Luckily he was about 2 inches right of where she aimed to push him and only had a deep gash in his buttock. As he sat there stunned and bleeding she stuck a fork in his hand.

She swore that she actually wanted to kill him - the glint her eye as she told the story made me believe her.
