» My most gullible moment

Coke bottles
Not strictly me being gullible, but still...

When I was about 6 and my brother about 8 I told my brother that if you bite the top of
those jelly 'Coke bottle' sweets and held them upside down you could pour
the Coke out... he waited ages and ages being careful to hold the bottle over his mouth so that he wouldn't be in trouble for pouring Coke on the floor.

After an hour or so, my dad walked in to see him at this and asked him what he was doing. When my brother finished repeating what I had told him, (mentioning that I had told him) my dad called me into the house red in the face, which I mistook for fury... and my brother hanging his head in shame.

Apparently it took my dad a good ten minutes to stop laughing.


I was a bugger of a sister...
