TITLE: TIFU by trying to kill a bug
POST: This just happened about 2 hours ago it was early in the morning and I was awoken by my little sister who is about 5 years old. She said there was a fly in her room and wanted me to kill it. Now I dislike bugs very much but I had to put on my big boy pants and teach my little sister a thing or two about being a man.

Now here is where the fuck up begins. I walked into the room with her when I see that mother bugger flying around it was quite big and was yellow. Me being the brightest individual on this side of the pacific ocean grabbed a towel and a can of compressed air (I was planning to clean my computer as well and thought it would help kill this guy.).

 I opened a window so it could fly out on its own but of course it didn't. So I furiously whipped the towel around when it happened to be flying over my little sister. Without thinking I whipped that towel like I never did before then it hit me she was standing right in the way. I could see the white in her eyes as her very short 5 year old life was about to be taken back to Mother Teresa's arms. BOOM WHAP right into the face with the towel. But I couldn't let my sister's sacrifice go in vain so I kept whipping it around. In the end I knocked over a lamp and the fly flew somewhere in my room. Now my sister ain't no average joe she cried a bit but she was furious and punched me in my manhood. It was painful but I knew I deserved it as a single tear dripped down my face.
TL;DR: 
Tried to be man in front of my sister, ended up slapping her hard in the face with a towel and lost my pride.
