If he was smart he would have let her know that he had it and used it for blackmail for a very long time. He's lost all value for future use and it was much more valuable before he showed his hand. Think about all the perks of having this knowledge and threatening to expose it.
I keep thinking about this situation. While she was a fool to have that list and squealing on her brother about the beer wasn't cool, the "punishment" doesn't seem to fit the crime here. Yeah, she told on him and he's grounded for 3 months. He would get over that.. in 20 years, it would seem like no big deal. His actions though may very well have destroyed her ability to even function in school and revealing something like this has probably destroyed any chance of their ever having a decent relationship in the future. Most siblings have fights or tattle on each other over the course of their childhood but get over it as adults and become more close. I can't see these two ever getting past this though. As funny as it was at first, when I really sit and think about it, it's a life changing move on the brother's part.
Yeah, I was thinking that too.

Wow. I didn't even think of blackmail. You are like, the most perfectly evil little sister ever.

Hahaha! I am a little sister X4 and very good at being manipulative and evil if need be. Even as an adult I still have some advantages at times for various reasons. I also attribute it to my reading of Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Sun Tzu's "Art of War" in junior high as a way to encourage my precocious wheeling and dealing of my older sibling's dirty secrets.
