My sister
My sister has always been... special... She loved hitting me (2 years older than her) and my brother (2 years younger)

She really loved bullying him, poor kid.

I remember once. She was around 5 and my brother 3 (good with maths, eh?). My grandma had a lot of plants in her house, and loved them with passion. One day, some of the plants appeared with some leaves cut. She asked who had done it, and my brother, poor soul, said the truth, that it had been him. He got punished for that.

Next day, and more plants broken. Again my brother accepted it was him and gets the punishment. A harder one, this time.

It went on for almost a week, and my grandma couldn't understand why my brother would be doing that to the plants, knowing that he was going to be punished, so next time it happened, she made sure my sister was around and said very loudly:

"Jesús (my brothers name) next time you do it, I'm going to punish you as always. But to the person who is telling you to do it, to her, I'm going to cut her fingers!"

And my sister replies: "Grandma, will it hurt when you cut my fingers?"

No more plants broken.

I have a friend
Who's middle name is Mary. He is Dominic Mary >surname<.

I could not figure out if you meant 'Jesus, next time you do that' or 'Jesus Bob, next time you do that'

Ok,
I'll be more carefull next time with the colons!

You should hear my real name, if you think that Mary is religious. María is very common in Spain, too. And all the names for all the virgins and saints in the calendar.

I was
I was more commenting on the fact that he was a guy called mary.

Maria is quite common here in Ireland too, but then again it's always been a catholic country so everyone is named after saints and things anyway.

I was going to call my son Jesus..
..but I reckoned he'd be constantly badgered with questions like "Jesus why do bad things happen to good people?", "Can I nail you to this piece of wood?" etc.

My ex-boyfriend
Was living in Manchester with me, and he got quite fed up with people saying "And Jesus is today among us!" and things like that.
