Typically, it is brothers that bully sisters. This was sometimes the case for the Rose children. It was not rare for Jesse to tie up a random sister and lock her in the dark laundry room, with the "hoppers" (more on that later). It was not even surprising when Truly ended up tied to the slide in the rain, but with four sisters, all this abuse was building up.
The break. Tickle fights are fun, especially when everyone in your family is extremely ticklish. There is a limit though; there is thin line between fun and torture when you are being tickled. The Rose girls set out this day to test that line and pass it if they must.
We don't remember how this fight started, exactly, but when two of us got Jesse pinned on the ground, we let go of all inhibitions. He screamed, threatened, called for mom, begged for mercy, pretended to cry, and even said that he had peed his pants, but we found no evidence of this claim and continued our attack.
The breaking of the dam. The point of no return was passed, and Jesse's pants were wet. At this point we scattered to avoid retribution, not knowing that his shame would be our best protection against all forms punishment for this crime.
To this day, Jesse vehemently proclaims that he never peed his pants, claiming that he just acted like he did to get away. I am willing to let him tell his side of the story, if he dares.
