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.
