My Brother Was a Brat!!!

I never had a little brother or sister who was a brat - I was the baby of the family and I really was a spoilt brat! lol Also never had a pea shooter but I used to cut down a plastic straw and steal some of the dried peas from the big glass jar my gran kept them in for when she made the soup! Fortunately no one ever got hurt cos I was a rotten shot anyway! Please don't mention the word pea shooter too loudly - Niamh bullies her big brother too much already! lol xxx

No my brother wasnt that mean never had one but some in school had them and if I got hit they got it took away by me and I would whoop them never had to many hit me.

Well I did ones and yes it hurt but not by my Brother oh no by my Son when he 12 he was aiming at his Sister missed her and got me. He was totally flustered after he doid it and could not apologize enough but the little Devil he was he was also dying to laugh I told him he is aloud to laugh if he lets me do it back to him and we both just burst out laughing and of course little Wimp ran of and hid lol

I must admit that I have no bad experiences of a pea-shooter, but do have an obnoxious older brother. When I was a little baby, he used to torment me, until I hit him over the head with my sturdy new red fire engine. This cut him, and brought up a large lump, much to my delight, and he still bears the scar! This was just our first such encounter, and back when they used to make toys out of sturdy metal! Whilst violence may not always be appropriate, I do still have a great feeling of satisfaction regarding this early form of self-expression!

I had no idea what a pea shooter was and it certainly was not available in the shops in my country when I was a kid, but I had fashioned my own, and I did use dried peas as the ammo. How did the idea come to me if I had never seen a pea shooter? I used to be a major fan of Tintin comics. In one of the Titles (I think it was Tintin in America), he comes across the Aztecs who use blowpipes to hunt birds and small animals. Their blowpipes were long and would shoot darts, sometimes poison tipped. I was so taken in by this novelty that I had to have my own blowpipe. I made several of varying sizes, but none of them were good at shooting darts, so I decided to use small pebbles. Pebbles being quite heavy, would not travel very far, so I decided to use peas! What about the target? My sister was fond of embroidery and had a frame which could be used to stretch the portion of the cloth to be painted. I took it, used paper instead of cloth and viola! I had a target board that could actually be pierced by my 'pea-shooter'. Before long, all the kids on the block were trying to make their own 'pea-shooters' and I was a pioneer in their eyes! Ah, those were the days. Cheers and God Bless, CV.

I never had a pea shooter. Mum wouldnt buy them for us. But we made up our own things. We used pens, took the middle out, rolled up little bits of paper really tight, and use them. They could hurt. Also, used to put bits of potato in the pens too. They hurt. Your brother does sound like he was a brat. I didnt have a little brother, i was the youngest. I had 2 older brothers. They probably thought i was a brat. They were just pains. 1 of them still hasnt seemed to grow up! I think he is worse than when he was younger. I suppose there is always 1 in a family who is like that. Best wishes

i never had that kind of experienced - being hit by a pellet (thanks goodness!). but those who had experienced it says it hurts somehow. some kids here in the philippines play with them and hit each other. like having war games. crazy! and some of them go home hurt.

Yes I have been shot with a pea shooter a few times or two but most of the time we would take a small piece of note paper and chew it for a minute and then shoot it out of the shooter or straw at each other. But I brother was younger then me and my sister and he learned to be meaner then us because we always picked on him so he started doing other things to us. Hugs!

My brother was a pathetic little wimp brat...lol. He's grown up to be a scientist, a leader in his field but underneath his arrogance and brusquness he is still that little boy. I wonder how he and my sisiters see me? I'll probably never know.

Was it fun to be shot? I think so, since he had you fooled. As for myself, I do not own a pea shooter. I shoot using rubberhands. For variation, I use paper as bullets. The fun comes when we shoot and being shot. It was really havoc.
