A childhood belief about family

When I was 11 and my sister was 7 we told me brother, who was 5 at the time, that he was born a girl but that Mommy and Daddy wanted a boy SO much that they just decided that they would tell him he was a boy. He asked why Mommy didn't just have another baby and we told him that he hurt Mommy so bad when he came out that she couldn't have anymore kids. When he asked why he had a penis we told him that's what all girls have and since he was our "sister" we couldn't show our privates to him cause you can only show them to people that aren't your family. It took quite a few hours of convincing but finally he believed it and confronted my parents with the "lies" they had told him. Needless to say me and my sister were in BIG trouble. My brother is now 21 and to get his goat we still call him "Patricia Michelle" his "real" girl name (his name is Patrick Michael).
