Should I humor my little sister? Or am I crazy for considering this?
Question Posted Wednesday October 17 2018, 9:08 pm
My little sister is 10. I’m 15 (and a girl too). Both of us have really gotten into the original Full House series after watching Fuller House on Netflix. Recently we watched that one episode where DJ and Stephanie accidentally get handcuffed together and stuck that way because they don’t have the key.
Our mom was watching the episode with us and after it was over she told us about how her mom actually handcuffed her and her sister together once when they were kids to get them to stop fighting. We both got a laugh out of that. My little sister then said she wants to know what it’d be like to be stuck together like that. She said we ought to get a pair of handcuffs and spend a day cuffed together.
I admit I’m curious as to what it’d be like too. So here’s what we’re thinking of doing. Once we have a set of handcuffs, we’ll wait for a weekend to roll around. Then, we’ll lock ourselves together and stay that way for 24 hours. Our mom has already agreed to hold the key for us to make sure we don’t lose it and also to keep it from us until the 24 hrs are up. I think we’ve worked out how to handle the bathroom situation, LOL! So that won’t be an issue.
Maybe we’re both nuts, but I’m seriously thinking of doing this. Who knows? Maybe it’ll bring us both closer (literally and figuratively)! :)
Is there any reason why we shouldn't do this? Or should we go for it?

I heard of a family whose agreed to have a girlfriend camp with them and their daugther. They were at their cabin where little brother found his old handcuffs. He said he had a key so the two girls handcuffed themselves together but when he searched where he kept the key, it wasn't there and the parents said they knew where it was at home. They were too far away to go home so the two girls spent the entire camping trip handcuffed together. Since no such thing can happen to you, go for it. I wouldn't count on it though as a sure way to stop fighting if that is your concern.
IN puberty and teens, the hormones in teens and pre teens can make them more irritable with others. I was like this, all my girls were like this, all my female friends were like this. And such a female will tend to pick on and fight with the females closest to them, like friends, mom and female siblings. Understanding when you need your space, able to ask for it and others understanding to give you some space are the best things to help in this case. It worked for my 3 girls.
