I was a terrible older sibling. When my brother was 4 and I was about 6, I told him, for no reason, that when he flushed the toilet he would wake up all the monsters in the house and they would come and get him. Later I saw him running from the bathroom after flushing, with his hands over his ears! I felt really bad at the time, but now, 13 years later, its really funny.
