I've always loved dogs. When I was 8 we were in the park with my mom, I went to the lady who was sitting next to us on a bench with her do I took the leash and told her "can I borrow your dog, please? thank you!" My mom came, we gave the dog back but we've always had a dog ever since in our house :D :D

haha that is what a doglover truly means!!
haha I would!! :D
My brother and I did much worse than #14 to our sister. We got her to eat paper that had been colored on (pen, marker, and crayon were used). We also would play a very mean game with our mom's boyfriend (he didn't last long) where we'd convince my sister to go into a closet and then the boyfriend would pretend to be the boogie man and say he was going to eat her(at the time we thought it was funny and not mean) every time she started freaking out we'd open the door and pretend we hadn't heard anything.
Haha you were a very terrific girl! Hope you became a bit sweeter ?
Yes, I did; I would never do those things again (I was under 8 years old at the time and mostly just made comments on her weight before I learned how mean it all was). I was bullied all through school and actually stood up for and protected others from bullies (including her) while I was growing up (just not that sister when it came to me and my brother when I was under 12 years old) and most of my friends were special needs kids. If I could go back to that time, even with just the knowledge I had as a teenager, I'd never treat my sister the way I did.
