[Hopey]

The worst thing I did to my sister was during my family's Sunday dinner when I was about 12 years old, and she was around 8 years old. My mother had lit candles and placed them on the supper table. I was sitting directly across from my sister and at one point she asked for me to pass her some bread. I picked up the plate of bread and held it across the table, but just barely beyond the lit candle.

In the instant before she reached the bread, I quickly moved the plate backwards so that she needed to move her hand through the candle flame to grab the bread. I did it so quickly that she didn't have time to realize what was happening. She burned her hand and was screaming and carrying on for quite awhile afterwards. I believe she still has the scar.

I claimed that it was accident and for some reason my parents believed me. Probably because they didn't *want* to believe that I was capable of something so sadistic.
