Cough, cough...
Well, my twin sister Brenda wanted some cough drops. And I wouldn't give her any (now this was with good reason...see the picture, Brenda: They're MEDICATED. This is a SPECIAL FORMULA! They are not candy!!!). So after our bathroom break (the bathrooms were upstairs in the old Salix school where we only had 1st-3rd grade and no cafeteria), Brenda loudly fake-coughed the whole way down the stairs.
It didn't work.

You may want to note that these "Cough Drops are only to be used for coughs caused by SMOKING or throat irritations caused by too much TALKING. NOT the swine flu or piglet flu or whatever you have diagnosed yourself with.
Do you ever regret how nastily you treated your sister?
No, I don't. I do regret how difficult my childhood was at the hands of oppressive parents though...
Having interviewed the last of the Smith Sisters, the choice of 17/box is...a secret. Since the formula was a trade secret, the prime number must be... a clue! # of drops of licorice extract? Minutes to stir at 'hard crack' stage? # of times your sister has to fake a cough 'til you cough one up for her?
Gail...it's the number of times I'm going to use this story to humiliate my sister.
I Remember Salix elementary...and I enjoy reading your blogs. Thanks for taking me back!
Mary...my pleasure! Life was good then...
