The Truth About Siblings

by Anita Palys - 6th grade

by Micah Hawxhurst - 5th grade Grade 8

Having siblings can really stink.

Believe me.

I have four.

Younger.

I remember my Rubik’s Cube.

My notebook.

My big jar of gum.

They’re all gone now.

All because of my four siblings.

And every time I catch them red-handed,

they cry and scream.

It’s ear piercing.

But, having siblings isn’t always bad.

They provide love,

Comfort,

Happiness,

A companion when no one’s around.

But then again,

When they throw a mud bomb at you...

You can’t explain the fury.
