The Day My Brother Locked Himself Inside
By Bay

       One day I was babysitting for my little brother.  We were laughing and playing and having fun.  I went outside to get the paper.  I don't think he wanted to have a babysitter anymore.  Right when I grabbed the paper, he slammed the door and locked it!  It was like he was a vacuum cleaner sucking up a bead!
     I was shocked; I had never seen him do that before!  I think he was sick of me being around.  When my open mouth closed, a bottle of water fell right from the sky!  Then a whole bunch of sandwiches dropped out of the window!   It was a very crazy day!
     I climbed through the window and my room was trashed!  There was trash everywhere.  My brother came in and I was steaming mad!  Then he had a weird "I'm doomed!" look on his face.  
     We made a bet to see who could swallow beef jerky faster.  I said, "If you win the bet, I won't tell Mom and Dad."  He won, so he didn't get into trouble.  I was still mad!
