Sibling problem

[samara's on tv]

First off I would like to say that I am proud of myself because last night my sister had drunk a WHOLE BUNCH of water and she felt sick to her stomach. She was complaining about it hurting and stuff and at first I was a little freaked out that she was going to puke. But I told myself It's okay, if she does puke it's only because she drank too much water and I immediately calmed down.


Anyway my problem is this. My sister likes to play around with me and pretend like she's gaggine and going to puke. She does this and then laughs and then I laugh (Not because I want to but her laugh is infectious...when I hear her laugh I always laugh I can't explain why) Anyway how do I get it across to her that it really bothers me? I try to but I'm always laughing when I try to explain it...does anyone else have this problem? I mean not just with siblings but with other people pretending like they are going to puke just to scare you? I'm probably the only one. But I would like some advice on how to talk to her about it...if anyone has any advice then please let me know.

MY son does that to me a lot, and he's only 5!!!

ooh my sister does that to me.. she'll say something like, "I ate too
much, I don't feel very good". So I ask, "are you sick?" And she goes
into acting out throwing up!! It is so weird and gross. She's not funny
at all when she does it, so I just yell at her, then I get in trouble
by my parents for "overreacting". I wish I could tell you a solution,
but it has been years and I can't get my sister to understand.

I've had people do this to me before so I get them back by talking about something they are scared of. One of my friend's did it and he has a phobia of injections so I went into full blown details, describing needles and it piercing the skin etc etc. It shut him up! My fiance does it the odd time, but he's not afraid of anything, just gets a bit icky where poop is concerned so I retaliate with stories of poop! It turns the table on them and they can see it's not exactly a nice thing that they are doing.

my dad does it to me, he makes fake puking noises, and ITs actually really funny ( but my mom yells at him for doing that to me). I don't really mind all that much because he's just doing it so that I can see the humor in my situation I guess, he doesn't do it to scare me.


My parents are pretty supportive since my mom suffers from OCD, they both know what I'm going though, but that doesn't mean you can't be silly about it sometimes!
