Annoying your sister 101

"Will you stop smackin' your nasty elephant lips in my ear!"


G-daughter #2 - 12yo and g-son - 5yo have a mission. While not being acknowledged when caught, their mission as I understand it is to make their 13yo old sisters', life a living hell with obnoxious noises, touching her stuff, standing/being or looking like they know her and the worst thing...."dressing worse than a homeless person".

OBNOXIOUS NOISES......
G-daughter #1 is totally fed-up with the "nasty, grass-muncher" that is sitting in the backseat of my truck trying to suck a Wendy's Frosty thru a straw (on purpose I'm sure). The culprit? Her 12yo sister egged on by her 5yo brother who is taking the Wendy's spoon, still in plastic and holding it up to his sisters ear and crinkling the plastic, then promptly turns to g-daughter #2 and says "Quit doin' that with your lips open", then laughs when I tell them to stop and "leave your sister alone"!
G-son starts smackin his lips together and makes farting noises with his lips or cheek (somewhere on his body) and says GD#1, GD#2 is making those noises again". And we continue the LOOOONNNNGGGGG drive to drop off the two "nasty grass munchers" before taking #1 to school where she will be blissfully embraced by others of her kind.

DRESSING WORSE THAN A HOMELESS PERSON....
Example #1
As noted first hand when I took all three of them to the dentist today. GD#1 is walking ahead of us by 15-20' (making sure we don't look like we all rode together) when she suddenly turns on her heel faces GD#2 and says,
"Why do you dress like a nerd with me", then starts tugging at her shirt, twisting and turning her jeans I thought for sure she was going to shake her out like you do when you put a pillow in a pillowcase! Turns to me and says,
"See g-mom THIS is what I'm talking about"! Then promptly turns her loose and says "there now you can go in." GD#2 turns to me and says "G-mom isn't this what I looked like before?" "I think so honey, but she likes you now." And we continued into the dentist.

Example #2
Evidently after your 1st braces check-up you get a SMILE shirt from the dentist. Black with SMILE in big colorful letters. Daughter is paying for this and g-sons Treasure Box visit in her monthly "mouth mortgage" payment. Well, #1 wore her shirt and #2 GOT her shirt. She was very excited. Then she did the "thing". She put it ON!!! She just stood there and pulled it on over her other shirt and SMILED!
OMG! NOOOOOOO #1 looks at her, eyes wide and says "#2 What are you doing? You look stupid, TAKE IT OFF! God, see what I have to put up with"? #2 Looks at her, then takes it off. #1 then tells me how her "efforts" to teach her how to dress are wasted because she does "stuff like that in public". I'm confused because #1 had HER shirt on over her shirt when she went in. I did mention that...#2 said "yeah #1, you had yours on like that". Poor thing she was clinging to something I said trying to defend her "faux paux". When #1 just turns and looks at us like we have lost our minds to even question her style and says "But, I look cool and she looks stupid".
OK, NOW I get it. Stupid me.


LOOKING LIKE WE KNOW HER......
As we are sitting down #2 decides to sit NEXT to her sister. #1 could not roll her eyes any further around. "G-mom,WHY does she have to sit THERE?" "Why? What's wrong with there?". "She needs to sit outside." "#1, leave your sister alone, shes' fine where she is, shes not touching or looking at you, granted she probably is breathing a tad bit more of your air than you usually allow, but its all good."
More eye rolling, scooching over to the far armrest. I'm glancing up thinking "why doesn't SHE move if its so awful?" What the hell do I know?

TOUCHING HER STUFF.....This one is mostly g-son.
He adores "touching her stuff" every single last bit! He will go through her room touch something, she will yell at him, go after him and he will scream with joy while running from her and touching every single item he can reach on the way out the door!
He jumps on her made bed, puts his "gnarly bug-head" on her pillow, opens her jewelry box, investigates her Cheer bag, note books and back pack!
He will put his finger on her plate, he will touch her food, drink out of her cup (without permission) and steal food off her plate.
He butts in when shes trying to get dressed, he makes fun of her hair or clothes and calls her names. She threatens to give him away, punch him out or send him to live with whatever boogerman she can think of.
They love each other.

I keep telling #1 that someday she will sit around with the "grass-muncher" and "gnarly bug-head" and laugh about all this stuff, because they are brother and sisters and they really love each other.
She slowly turns, looks and squints her eyes at me and says "In the same room? The way they dress? UH-Huh, I don't want anyone to know I know them"!
