As a kid, I used to hit my little brother with a fly swatter and then run to my parents and convince them that he was somehow just hitting himself with the fly swatter.

As the title says, I would hit my little brother with a fly swatter, and then run to my parents and convince them that he somehow was just hitting himself with the fly swatter. I grew up on a farm, so whenever I’d do this he was just standing in open grass, no trees, no buildings nearby, and my parents would buy this bs every time. I only did this as a kid, and I have since gotten over all of this except for the fact that my parents believed my little brother was just hitting himself with a fly swatter.
