i used to believe my cousins - anything they said. they loved to mess with me.
they made me really angry one time and i told my grandfather that he should call the police on them because they stole my something-or-other.
he picked up the phone, dialed (pretended to, at least) and started talking like he was talking to the cops.
when he hung up, i started freaking out because i didn't want my cousin to go to jail.
