Did you also place a big spotlight outside her bathroom window?

perhaps it was one of those giant gas balls in the sky... what is it called again, the sun ?

Or a street light.

Calling your sister sweetie is weird.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

its called having a healthy relationship with a member of your family. how is it weird ?

The word "sweetie" must have different implications across our cultures. Where I am (USA), it's more likely to apply to a romantic partner or a child than a sibling. At least, that's my experience. Someone else mentioned this use (sibling) wouldn't be unusual in the UK and I can accept that.

As someone who's also in the USA, I've been called "sweetie" by family members as well as strangers and SOs. Context determines meaning, this comes across as a sarcastic endearment because "I'm (OP) a little upset"

I prefer to think of the creator of the meme as an American and all the awkwardness and sexual undertones are fully intended!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

well the assumption is that op is one of the dozens of people NOT from the US...

Seems like the poster is from the UK, where this normal.

In fact in some parts of the country you might even have a complete stranger call you "my lover"

Making her think that there's a scary stranger outside of her bathroom window as punishment for a completely banal offense is very normal, though 🤷

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Encouraged even.

Did you have siblings? Because yeah, it kinda is normal. We torture each other, for little or no reason, while growing up. Totally normal.

Disregard if you grew up in one of those mythical "functional" families I've heard about.

A girl calling her sister "sweetie" is kind of normal

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Ahh, you're right. I might have misgendered the GP in my mind.
