ok, not so much an injured sibling story, as a vicious pair of siblings I know...
Two brothers (one skinny and blonde, one skinny and brown-haired)that lived down the road from me back in the day were legendary for the level of antagonism they showed towards each other on a daily basis. Cricket bats, golf clubs, bottles, they'd wield anything at each other over a minor argument. Took a good swing at each other, too.

One day, after a particularly virulent disgreement about toast, that I was unfortunate enough to be around to witness, the conflict spilled out of the house, fists flying. Without warning, the skinny, brown-haired one made a break back for the house, slamming the front door closed and leaning against it, so that keys of any kind were useless. The skinny, blonde brother began to hammer on the door, with both fists and feet, to no avail.

Then, he had the bright idea of using his head. He took a run up. I should mention that the defining feature of the front door is a massive frosted pane of glass...about head-height.

Can you guess what happened next? Picking bits of glass out of the back of the brown-haired brother for weeks, they were. The blonde one came out of it unscathed, and still uses it as a stick to beat the other one with to this day.

I have a sister, who is pretty docile. I am glad of this...
