I once convinced my younger sister to do a somersault off of a tall chest of drawers onto a mattress. She knocked the wind out of herself so bad I thought she was going to die.
During my last visit back east we were partying and the story came up. We both nearly pissed ourselves laughing about it.
My older sister was mad at me once and waited all day until we were sliding the dining table back together and she slammed it while my finger was between sections.
It was a two way street at my house when I was young.
