The Jackery of Siblings: Did You Survive?

I look back over my childhood with two sisters and a brother and wonder how I survived, especially the pranks and jokes my brother played on me. They are probably asking how they survived me!

Sibling Shenanigans

I’ve shared some funny stories about my brother Rick and his pranks, as well as mine. Here’s a delightful story from one of our customers in response to yesterday's email:

“Debbie,

It’s rough being the youngest child in a 7-child household. That was me. It will toughen you up.

My dad had an electric fence inside his hog wire fence to keep the animals from pushing on the fence. My older brothers and sisters got a big tire out by the electric wire. They stood on the tire and grabbed the wire. No shock for them because they were not grounded.

They said, Johnny, come over here and grab our hand. I was standing in the wet grass, and as the 12 volts flowed through me to the grass, my hair probably did curl up.

Everyone laughed but me.

Your family will toughen you up for life.”

Isn’t this typical sibling jackery? I love that it involved a fence. Thank you, Johnny, for this delightful story!

Fencing Solutions

What do you have up your sleeve for fencing? We recently received an excellent order for galvanized-after 16 gauge 1x1. Do you know what they are using it for? All 234 rolls? Rodent control! I had not guessed that one. Wire mesh plays a massive part in our society.

Order yours now. Call Terry to discuss your fencing needs.

Have a great day, and send me stories! Any jackery in your personality?

Kind Regards,
