It was on this day Marjorie got a new baby brother. His name was Bugs. She was excited . Her Mumsy and Master Splat (father) was pleased and happy. Marjorie couldn’t wait to share her baby brother with her 3rd grade class, but her teacher insisted that he must be bigger when he’s put in front of class for Show and Tell Day.
Bugs was a cute little feller, he had a big mouth and looked like a little old man, because he was wrinkled, small and bald.
Marjorie never got to bring her baby brother in for Show & Tell day at school, but didn’t mind.
As the years went on, Bugs got big, grew out of the old man look.. and eventually became a teenager.
Bugs was a handsome young man now, and was into girls, texting, computer games, and playing the guitar. He was very good at the guitar and could play a lot of things.
Bugs, was talented, but one thing people generally miss when meeting him is that he can be mean.
He make look innocent and nice, but he's got a little devil that always sits on his shoulder. He torments his older sister Marjorie all the time.. and on occasions has been so mean he's made her cry and feel terrible.
Marjorie admits to have been mean to him to, at times, but she didn't think she ever made him feel so terrible he just wanted to pack his things and leave for good, to never come back. Marjorie wanted nothing more than to get along with her brother, and be accepted, but she knew he was at that age where teenagers hate everyone and she also knew that he only did this to get under her skin because it'd cause a reaction. She really did love Bugs and wish he'd grow up already and be nice to her and everyone around. Marjorie was at the end of her ropes with him, she couldn't take it anymore, she had been pushed way too far, she wanted to snap and rip his head off... but how... she didn't quite know how to find her inner voice to stand up to him for once and for all. Marjorie started to think he was nothing, but a big bully. She hated bullies and thought once she graduated from school she'd never have to face them again... but she was wrong, her brother was now
her bully in her eyes... what could she do? She still struggles with it on a daily basis. He'd also take her things without asking, then when he asked her if he COULD borrow something figured she'd allow him to do so, but she always said NO because he did it too much, so she thought by saying no would teach him an important lesson, you must ALWAYS ask before borrowing or using other people's things.. it still didn't work.
Marjorie wanted so much to just take time out and talk to her brother Bugs about everything, but knew he'd probably just laugh at her or say something mean... in the end Marjorie still didn't know what to do... so she thought that if she could treat him like he treats her he'd finally understand.
