Why do kids get so pissed off about that? NOTHING burned me or my brother up more than the other one touching us LAST, then running off so that we couldn't TOUCH THEM BACK.
Nowdays, I don't get it. What's the big deal? All one of us had to do was shrug and say "so what?" and the game would have been over, no fun for the other person anymore.
But oh noooo, it pissed us off no END to think WE were touched LAST.
What the hell was that about?
And how stupid IS it to try to touch someone last in a CAR? I mean, you can't go anywhere to get away and avoid being touched last back. So it resulted in a hair-pulling, eye-poking, clawed face scuffle in the backseat that caused our mom to start just indiscriminately whacking whatever she could reach and nearly getting into a wreck.

1. The bigger question to ask is: why haven't republicans grown out of it? |
|
:evilgrin:
Of course it's a totally childlike behavior, and the reason for it is simple lack of maturity and lack of being unable reason abstractly. That's the cognitive maturity level required to enter adulthood.
And, sadly, the level that republicans - or at least Freepers - have never achieved.

2. You know a TRUE pro when you can connect ANYTHING to |
|
politics.
That's why we worship you The Rabrrrrrr.
I've decided to rename you. You now have the article "the" in front of your name.
Later, I will invent a symbol that will replace your name, but still carry the essence that is Rabrrrrrr.

5. This used to piss my brother off: |
|
I'd look into his ear while I was about an inch away from him. Just stare at his ear. REALLY REALLY closely.
Wow, I loved that. Drove him absolutely bonkers.
Then he'd start whistling non-tunes and that drove me crazy.

4. Why are you reliving childhood tonight? |
|
:shrug: The reason they call it "the good old days" is because you have a tendacy to block out all the bad shit.

7. But it was ALL bad shit. |
|
If I block out the bad shit, there will be nothing left!
:D
No, one thread is making me think of another. This was actually inspired by a thread started by texas1928 and I think he started that one because he was inspired by one of mine. We're in a weird synchronicity tonight, he and I.

15. It is not BAD stuff, those are great memories. |
|
Yeah we tormented each other but that was what made being borther and sister so great. We used to laugh about it, til she got weird and stopped talking to me and my parents.

8. Re-read the title line. |
|
*I* touched *you* last.
And you can't touch me back. Which means I win. Forever.

9. And the whole "Mom, she's on my side of the seat!!" |
|
bullshit.
Man, my sister and I used to do that. Before I embraced logic.
And like another poster said, the "I'm not touching her!" while my finger was about 1 mm from her, flying over the entirety of her body.
Kids. Can't live with 'em, pass the beer nuts.

10. Because being poked at is annoying... |
|
And you test nerves of the guy that did it by poking back?

That was my sister and me for sure!
"She's looking at me!!"
Like it's some kind of total sin or something.
But it sure made it easy to annoy - all I had to do was look at her!

Just LOOKING. That pissed both of us off. Staring staring staring until the other one CRACKED.
Psychological torture.

18. I took my kids out in the car today |
|
I try not to take them both at the same time, but it couldn't be avoided. The whole time, someone was looking at someone else...I nearly had a breakdown.

19. The saddest thing about my childhood is when we stopped doing |
|
those things. My parents were so much at war that us kids stopped that shit, and became our own underground. In high school my friends used to tell me that my brothers and sisters and I got along too well. We didn't hang out together, we all had separate lives and friends, but we rarely fought. At the end of the day, it was all scrambling to protect one another.
