“Hey, Stuart,” Mikey said. “Did you do what I asked?”

“What do you mean?” Stuart asked confused

“Oh don’t play stupid with me, you know I asked you to vacuum for the party.”

“No, I’m pretty sure you never asked me to. You never told me anything and didn’t Mom tell you to do that anyway, not me?”

“Stop trying to shift your responsibilities onto me. Just because I’m your older brother doesn’t mean I have to do everything around here.” Mikey said,.

Stuart replied outraged, “What are you talking about? I never shift any responsibilities onto you, if anything you shift them onto me just like you’re trying to do now. I’m tired of you acting like my boss.”

“Well I basically am your boss, Mom and Dad put me in charge so you have to listen to me. Now go vacuum.

“No. I won’t do it. I’m done taking orders from you. I’ll do what Mom and Dad asked me to do and nothing more.”

“Mom will hear about this and boy will you be in trouble. I hope being lazy is worth it.”

“Ya we’ll see about that once she hears what I have to say she’ll know who the real culprit is.

Mikey replied with spittle flying, FINE. I’ll just vacuum myself you little brat.”

Stuart replied victoriously, “Wow. You act like a five year old when you lose.”

“Hmph”. replied Mikey. “I’ll get you back.”
