Pensioner Recalls Early Prank.


Mrs Christine Wiggin, 66, revealed being pushed around in a buggy by her mother, when her sister tipped her out.

Mrs. Wiggins, a retired midwife, who lives in Norwich with husband and daughter, remembered vividly being a target of a joke by her older sister.

Being only three it was easy to see how Mrs Wiggins fell awkwardly out of the buggy and onto the cold, concrete floor.

Mrs Wiggins said: “She wasn’t in the mood for an ice cream after that.”

Even though her mother was quick to pick her off the floor she still had several cuts and bruises to her leg.

Mrs Wiggins also said: “I really didn’t want to stay any longer and I just wanted to go home.”
This act of violence caused by her sister was soon followed by another cruel prank, nearly straight after the first incident.


Both, Mrs. Wiggins and her sister were taken to the beach.

The tranquil setting of the beach was soon interrupted when her sister chucked sand in Mrs Wiggins’ eyes.

Mrs Wiggins emotionally said: “The sand really hurt my eyes; I can remember crying for absolutely ages.” She also said: “I was scratching at my eyes for ages, but there was literally nothing I could do.”

She then told us how her mother gently blew away the sand from her daughter’s eyes.
These events took place sixty three years ago, and Mrs Wiggins said the two sisters are as close as ever.


She has forgiven her sister for what happened all those years ago.
