The missing tail


Remember when you were a kid and someone used to pretend to take your nose?

My son decided to one up that and tell my tot, "I got your tail! I got your tail! Ha Ha Ha!!! I got your tail!" I didn't hear that part at first. All I heard was the loud screaming from a wounded toddler whose tail was ripped from her backside. And the thud of my teen collapsing to the floor laughing so hysterically I can't believe he didn't wet his pants. As I came running into the kitchen my tail less tot had tears of complete and total anguish pouring down her little face.

I picked up my precious little girl to console her and I asked her what had happened. As tears still poured down her tiny face she finally managed to choke out, "he took my tail." Then the crying began all over again. Which in turn made my son start laughing all over again. I tried convincing her that she never had a tail. But her only reply was: "Cuz he took it!"

The crying eventually stopped. From both of them. She has been searching frantically everywhere for her tail. The silly boy left his bedroom door open a small tornado went thru his room in search of her tail. She still hasn't found it.
Anyone have any good stories about siblings?
