I can still remember an incident when I was a kid, that had my parents fuming. On an autumn day, my mother and father told my big sister to gather all of the leaves in the front yard, put them in a bag, and throw them away. My parents gave her those instructions before they left for a few hours. As soon as they drove off, my sister who was the oldest, had me and my two brothers doing her assigned chore. It was about 40 degrees outside, and she wouldn’t even allow us to wear our jackets, and both me and my brothers got sick. When my mom and dad found out what had happened, my sister was grounded. What’s worse, is when my parents saw that my brothers and I were sneezing and had runny noses from doing my sister’s job, she was raked… over the “colds”.
