When I was a little kid, probably 3 or 4, I would never go to my older sister, Julie, when she wanted me to (she's 9 yrs. older than me). Subsequently SHE came up with the brilliant idea of hiding in our closet and calling me into our room. When I innocently entered the bedroom, she'd throw the A&W bear (of whom I had an irrational fear) at me. Then when I started screaming & crying, & jumping up & down, she'd run over, grab me & say, "Come to DooDoo!!! I'll protect you!!!" To this day, I still can't go to sleep if the closet doors or bureau drawers aren't shut all the way.
Oh, the power an older sibling has to warp a poor child's mind...
