Earnest Talks

I have to admit that evil sister probably hated me when I was a little boy. At least as far as my effect on her life. You can be sure that I played my part of pesky little brother to the limit.

For instance, there was the time when she was sitting in the living room with her boyfriend. The back of the couch faced the living room door so I was able to stand in the hall and see when they got close together or if her boyfriend put his arm around her. When that happened I would wander into the room and start playing or talking to them.

Well I’m sure you can imagine that I didn’t make them very happy when I interrupted whatever they were doing. On this particular night I was a very big pest. I was in and out of the living room several times and my sister was getting angrier each time I “visited” them. Finally her boyfriend bribed me with fifty cents and I left them alone for the rest of the evening.

Fifty cents was a lot of money to me then. I couldn’t wait to spend it so the next day I walked to the local 10 cent store and shopped and shopped before finally deciding on a toy croquet set (not the one in the picture.) Yep, it had several small mallets, balls, stakes and miniature wire wickets. As it turned out, the balls were so small that they would be deflected by high grass and therefore weren’t much good for croquet.

So, for what does a disappointed little boy use a useless croquet set? If you ask my evil sister she’ll say I chased and hit her with the mallets. So tell me my faithful readers. Do you really think I would do such an un-brotherly loving thing?
