I guess my sister and I did standard tricks to each other. We are three and a half years apart, so of course I was older and meaner to her (but she held her own, she's no angel...despite what our mother thinks).
When my sister and I were little we were on a road trip with our parents. I think that we were going to Alabama. On our way through Dallas, I got REALLY bored. Super bored. It was the biggest and longest drive OF MY LIFE (not true) and I needed something, anything DEAR GOD ANYTHING to entertain me. Then, my eyes happened to fall upon the innocent, blonde head of my little sister.
Oh yes, a perfect victim. Caitlin, I told her as we drove through the city ( I wasn't very old...maybe seven or eight), did you know that all of the buildings in this city are made out of cardboard? That's how they can make them so big.
Now, looking back this is super lame. At the time I even remember thinking that this trick was lame. Cardboard? Really? Pft.
Cait was immediately suspicious (and I thought my perfect trick was sabotaged). It was either my eagerness or the repetition, but she finally believed me. All big buildings are actually fake. They are made out of cardboard. Apparently, it's a pretty vivid memory for her too - sorry sister :)
