"See, the old John Wayne movies were filmed in places that haven't upgraded, like Idaho." Yeh, she believed it. For a long time. Wanna write a book about sibling deception? Call me.

And I was pretty little and not very bright at that sort of thing, so when I opened the present to discover that it was indeed, an empty box, I promptly burst into tears. And, speaking as an older sibling (and an occasionally evil one at that), one of my brothers and I convinced our little brother one year (on April Fool's) that he was going to win a million dollars and his own private island and that the people were just outside on the porch to give it to him. Yeah, I harbor no respect for my little evil self, I believe that I laughed at him when he ran out there with wide-eyed expectancy to find an empty porch. *shame* *guilt* Yeah, my older brother one year gave me a present with a false bottom.

Around the same age he got a plastic sword for his birthday and convinced me that it was real, and then of course proceeded to chase me around the house while I was screaming my head off. Now we're both grown up and we're great friends. That didn't happen until he went off to college though. :) When I was 6 or 7 my brother used to chase me around the yard with hedge clippers and threaten to cut off my hair (which was very long.)
