I like this. Tell your brother MM's impressed.

I just did.

He said
"Well, that was my
inspiration for the day.
I'm glad she likes it."

For a little brother. His favorite pastime is annoying me.

This is really good! Hmm... but isn't annoying the older sibling the job of the younger one???

True that...he's actually quite inventive about it. Like inserting my name or "my sister" into the songs he's singing for chorus, or sneaking into my room when I'm on the computer and reading over my shoulder.

Is he doing that now? I just kinda sense some... emphasis on those last few words. But hey, at least he's not 5... it's much worse when they're 5.

Ah! I hope not. I'll just have to keep checking.

When he was five, I was seven. I don't really remember much from then except he liked to follow me around. Still does. I think it's a second-child thing. I, on the other hand, would love if he left me alone some of the time.

But he's a good writer, when he does. He doesn't have an account here (thank gods!) because he doesn't think he's good enough. But he is.

Well.... I'm 16 and she's 5 and I always have to play with her. I'm probably gonna suffer Saturday night and all of Sunday since I'll be in Montpelier all day... thank the gods for that one...

Ooh...I have to babysit him so he doesn't blow the house up or something (which he's actually quite liable to do.) He's generally okay except he refuses to listen to me about anything, even what he wants to do. And I have to keep him away from coffee. He likes it, and believe me, he does NOT need more caffeine.

My sister always argues with me when I babysit her... and then I get in trouble for it! And she adores soda... but we usually give her diet soda or sprite....

Do you win the arguments? I really do think that younger siblings do act the way they do for some reason involving the fact that they are the younger one.

Oh, I hate that. It's so often my brother's unwillingness that makes things go wrong, but miraculously it's always my fault.

This is why my main source of income is pet-sitting, not babysitting.

Listen... I'm 11 and a half years older, so you'd think I would. Bu NOOO... she ALWAYS has to have her way and won't give in until I agree.... and then she decides that she's too mad at me to play with me...

If my brother is losing and he knows it, he always says to "Drop it." I'll try to say something more, and he'll just keep saying "Drop it." If I try to change the subject, though, he'll say something to take us back to whatever the problem was.

He's younger right? IDK... sometimes the older sibling is bad (not that you guys are). writingdog gas some bad stories about her older sister...

Ugh! My brother says he needs my help, then acts so awful and refuses to listen to anything I say.

"Eric, you need to make an equation--"

"That's not what I learned! That's not how you do it!"

I hate that.... so I don't help anyone ecxept Babbit with Math...

I only like helping Greenie. She listens to me.

I know.... and that's why I like helping her... even though she is currently doing better thatn me in Pre-Calc...

Just say it's because of your assistance that she's doing so well.

Yeah! She's sitting next to me and sucking away all my brain juices... mu ha ha ha... she's a bad partner... so distracting...

Ha--I have somebody like that in a bunch of my classes. *cough*Greenie*cough*

But another friend of mine is very smart and very competitive, so sitting near him means my work is done in record time.

My work is always done in record time.... and trust me, Babbit's way worse. We started talking about how our math teacheer is a ninja with an evil twin who is also a ninja... good stuff... though it was partially my fault.

Is that why you posted 'NINJAS!!!!' yesterday?

Partially, eh? Hm. You should see Alyssa, Chelsey, and me in math class. Snickle rootbeer... Good times, good times...

Greenie plus Usagi equals "twenty-four hours and a cucumber sandwich!"

Wimpogs are greater than or equal to pi over 1-gig.

Ha!

Okay, bye.
