Today, my dad started openly playing favorites among his kids, just to start drama. I had to warn my little sister - the favorite - that he was using her senior photos to do it. I'm gonna kill him, and get her a better dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after years of telling my sister she's crazy for thinking our parents have been playing favorites all our lives, with me being the favorite, I saw in their will I got the house, both cars, and all their money. Meanwhile, all she got mom's old clothes, "if she can fit in them." FML
Today, I was pulled aside by my father's new wife and told, "You're not your dad's favorite anymore and you need to stop acting like it." FML
Today, my dad got promoted and ended up as my boss. I thought I’d finally have a manager I get along with, who could maybe throw a few perks my way. Nope. Dad was very clear that he was going to be a complete bastard to me at work to make absolutely sure no one could accuse him of favouritism. FML
Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Today, my mom proved to me that there was favoritism between me and my siblings. My mom made me use my money to buy everyone dinner, but when my brother wanted to buy himself food, my mom asked him if he was gonna buy me and our sister some too, he said, "No, I don’t want to" and she said, "That’s fine." FML
Today, if you ever need reminding that parents blatantly have a favorite child, remember that my mother tried to fistfight my sister’s ex-husband AND his mother when they weren’t treating my sister right, but she invited my ex and the woman he cheated on me with to a family dinner. Thanks Ma. FML
Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML
Today, I found out that my dad recently created a Facebook account for himself. So I friended him. He refuses to accept my friend request. He did, however, accept my sister's. FML
Today, my dad got upset when one of his employees showed a romantic interest in my mom. Both parents were totally fine, though, with that same employee announcing his engagement to my 15-year-old sister. FML
Today, I got into a screaming fight with my little sister. Why? Because I'm getting "too chummy" with our new stepmom, who by the way is a very sweet woman, and has made our dad so happy since they met. But my sister has made up her mind that all stepmothers are evil. She's seventeen and still thinks like this. FML

So this is a bit lengthy: My dad, for some reason, never liked us three eldest, and only likes our younger sister. And back when me and the two brothers were in high school, there wasn't much money for school swag. So my mom, sensibly enough, tells him (when the senior photo 'buy me now' letter comes in) 'hey, maybe we should consider what message we're sending when we buy endless swag now that we're slightly richer for exactly one (1) kid'. 'She's the only one who graduated with honors', my dad proceeds to say, because apparently he forgot that both me and Brother 1 graduated with honors, and I graduated from the proto-program that she did, where I took some college classes alongside high school (she got a full AA). Apparently he's decided to play favorites. I warned her of his idiocy, and I plan on summoning an army of squirrels to attack him and give whoever's the coroner out here a great story to tell at conferences.

I don't understand this. Can you have your sister write up this story? I'm sure it'll be better.

If she's the favourite, what does she need warning of? Instead, you should team up. First you ask for a pony, then when he say no, she does. Then you both have half a pony.

What does king Solomon have to do with this? Is he the dad?

Using her senior photos to do what? This sounds dirty and I am hoping it is not...
