Sisters Part 3
My middle sister and my other two sisters don't always get on very well. I don't get on well with her either, as a point of fact, to the extent that she once attempted to gouge out my eyes with a fork. But I digress.

We used to live in Buxton, Derbyshire. We had a large garden that led down to a small stream that flowed into the local park lake. Because we were all quite young there was a fence separating the lawn from the meadowy area that led to the stream.

Sister No.1 had a friend who went to Majorca for a holiday. She brought back Sister No. 1 some of those bath gel things - the kind that dissolve in the bath and give a nice smell. They were bright pink and green coloured balls about the size of a large marble.

Sister No. 2 had her beady 3 year old eye on what she thought was a cache of Spanish sweets that Sister No. 1 wasn't going to share. Cunningly, she waited until Sister No. 1 had left her room, then darted in, pudgy little hands open, and pocketed the bath gel things. Then she fled, knowing the likely violent response.

That day my dad decided that we needed to clear some space in the meadow. Aged 10 I was judged old enough to help him. We walked across the lawn, through the gate to the meadow and there, by the wood pile, found sister no. 2. In one hand was 2 or 3 of the bath gel balls. The other hand was wiping the tears away from her eyes.

The little minx had eaten two or three of them. Scented foam was coming out of her nose and mouth, and she sat their crying and saying "these taste horrible".

I have never laughed so much in my life. So did my dad. Later on, after the inevitable washing out of her mouth etc, and the bollocking my dad and I got for laughing at her, Sister No. 1 cut the head off one of her Barbie Dolls in revenge.
