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.
