My Brother Problems
"We fight over stupid problems like who washes the dishes."
By Taylor Rogan
I have two brothers. Myron is ten. Myles is five. I am eleven- the oldest. My brother Myron gets on my nerves all the time. When I started fifth grade, he would always embarrass me around my friends at school. He would hug me and kiss me at school- I would push him away. At home, I’d just beat up on him. He’s about an inch shorter than me.
I’m in sixth grade now and finally Myron and I are in different schools.
Now, when I go to his school to pick him up, I bother him. I hug him and kiss him, and he gets embarrassed. At home, sometimes, if I’m watching a TV show he’ll plug in his Play Station. When he does that, if we’re home alone I’ll either call my mom to complain or I’ll hurt him. Sometimes I win, and sometimes he does.
We fight over stupid problems like who washes the dishes. When that happens, my mom makes us pick a number between one and ten. Whoever gets the number closest to her number does not have to wash the dishes. When I win, Myron tries to be annoying and washes about one dish every ten minutes.
Now, Myles is only five so I don’t have that many problems with him. Sometimes if I’m watching a TV show and he walks in and likes the show I’m watching, we watch it together. But when I change the channel, he will start to kick and hit and scratch me. I try to tell him that I was there first, but he doesn’t listen. He screams and shouts and is annoying. When its time to go to sleep- he never wants to sleep. He wants to stay up and watch TV with my mom. But he can’t do that anymore because now he has school in the morning. At night, when we have to go to our room and get in bed, Myron gets up and starts playing and laughing and making too much noise. I have to kick him off the bed. If he refuses to go, I push him off.
Sometimes when we’re home alone and I have to watch both Myron and Myles, they both start pulling me, and pull me out of the room so they can watch what they want to watch on TV. For instance, if I’m watching a TV show like Degrassi (which is like a soap opera for kids) my brothers will go to Cartoon Network during the commercial on my show. We lose track of time and I end up missing my show!
Maybe the biggest problem I have is the television, not my brothers.
