What is the craziest thing your ever saw siblings fight over...
We got snowed in last week and yes, sadly there was some tension. My two teenagers got into a fight over Romaine lettuce. It was pretty sad. It was about taking just the tops off the lettuce and not using the stalk when making a individual salad.

Yes there are more important things in this world, but this happened on Day 1 of the four day Blizzard and set the tone for the next couple of days. Sigh...

1. I once saw my brothers argue over...
... a torn trash bag. It burst just as Liam was pulling it out of the trash can, and he accused Sean of putting it in the trash can in torn condition. I had to step in and separate them, before it came to blows.

:shrug:

2. My husband's sister
started sending us hate mail (fighting via the phone, email, snail mail) because my husband did not grieve their mother's death the way she wanted him to. How sick is that?

6. It gets worse.
I could spend hours telling you all the horrible things she has said about us. She is obviously mentally ill, and we have ceased contact with her, but oooohhhh baby, what a nutjob.

Never moved out, lives at home with her dad, is 55. Hasn't worked steadily in years, a recipe for complete disaster. No friends, nothing.

We tried to include her in the kids' lives, we took her to Disney with us, had her over to visit several times a year, but when all this happened, she went nuts and her hatred for me, that had obviously been fermenting for a while, spilled over.

It is quite something to realize that someone who has been in your home and benefitted from your largesse hates you as much as she hates me. Chilling actually.

4. craziest ?
How about 2 identical twins arguing over who was uglier. I knew them for years and could never tell them apart. Both very attractive females btw.

7. my girls (3 and 6) got into a fight over toilet paper.
It made me want to sell all their toys in a garage sale and buy them a couple of rolls of charmin to play with.

9. Games.
I've listened to my boys argue for 75 miles over what a certain Pokemon evolves into. See if THAT doesn't increase your stress factor! lol

10. Brother Jerry: "I got spanked more than you did"
Brother Greg: "You did not"
Jerry: "I did too"
Greg: "I never got you back for that time you threw the fork across the dinner table and stuck it in my upper lip!"
Jerry: "You did too, you cut me with your pocketknife"
Greg: "I did not, you cut yourself"
Jerry: "No I didn't, and Pop beat both of us that time"
Greg: "I got beat harder"
Jerry: "No you didn't"
Greg: "He was always harder on me"
Jerry: "No he wasn't"
Geni: "Would you both STFU before I have to kill you?"

This was an actual conversation between two of my brothers when they were approximately 30 and 31 years old. They don't all grow out of it.

12. a bowl of dirt.
My ex-bf's two sons were playing in the yard and got into a fight over an old Tupperware bowl full of dirt. The older kid won, snatched said bowl of dirt away from his younger brother, and proceeded to dump it over younger brother's head.

Kids will fight over anything!!
