The memories that make me laugh are the memories of my childhood growing up with three sisters. I was the oldest and I always dressed the my younger sisters up. When we played "school" or "work" I was the teacher or the boss. My sisters and I, to this day, are very close and when we get together we always reminisce on events and situation we have experienced. We all end up laughing so hard that tears roll down our cheeks.
Last weekend was one of those "Remember when" visits. My sister, Barbara, brought up the time I was forcing her to learn how to apply eyeliner. I was about 17 years old and she was 11 years old. I felt it was time she start wearing eyeliner, despite what my parents thought. I was always the one that was the most outgoing, popular, I was a cheerleader , and I would never dare walk out of the house without hair and make-up, someone might see me if I checked the mail box. Anyway, Barbara kept squirming out of letting me apply eyeliner on her for a week. Then finally, I locked her in my room and chased her until I cornered her. As I pressed her up against the dresser, she was laughing so hard. Barbara kept telling me I was tickling her and she had to pee. I felt that she was trying to get out of it again, so I proceeded to pull her eye open so I could apply the liner to the inside eyelid. She continued to laugh hard and began screaming, " I HAVE TO PEE". Just then, I felt her body just relax and she began giggling and crying at the same time. I asked her "What?' She just looked at me scared with black eyeliner on one eye, I realized then that she pee'd, not in a puddle on the floor at her feet but on a cushion chair that was next to her. Apparently, she did have to pee very bad because she had her legs crossed and was wearing bluejeans at that. That pee must have shot out with force because a large amount squirted to the side. I was so mad but I could not stop laughing. I had to clean it, keep in mind I did not believe that was my fault. I blamed her for it. If she would have just let me do what I wanted earlier, it would have been easier.
I don't think that way anymore. I am more mature now and I see the I was at fault. This is one of the thousands of the memory that always makes the whole family laugh. We are still amazed to this day how she could pee sideways. But none the less, I am so luck to have sisters that I am so close to. My sisters are my best friends.

When you were talking about your memory of being bossy to your siblings I so can relate to that. I am also the oldest and did mean things to my sister and brother. Families make so many memories for us to keep them close to us. Thank you for sharing.
