Tree Hugging

By simeitsa

This morning in my humble abode I was preparing my brother to go to school. I sift through his assignments in his book bag and find his math homework incomplete. After I scolded him for not doing his math homework. He told me he didn't know he had another assignment but did his other homework assignment. I said, "Okay fine. What was the other homework assignment?"

"Oh, I was to hug a tree."

So this is going to be the children of tomorrow? We are so screwed.

lol Well, life is not a fairy tale.... this is Titled: Story of my Life! Where the sister participates in raising the youngest sibling because the mother is out supporting the rest of the family.

While the mother is away the next more mature sibling takes over and becomes the mother in training. Yes, this is a true story. Next chapter yet to come.

Welcome to my reality. ;)

Nope, not really. I just want to specify an accurate description for the said sibling. NOwadays, you will not find any elder brother who's willing to check his younger brother's homework and advise him to do that at the same time; instead the mother usually have the initiative to do it.

Anyway, is this a true story or it's just a fiction? In your next story, could you please elaborate & specify an accurate details for each character so that we can visualize more the real scenario? :)

@ CL I think I prefer him hugging girls... LOL....

I am all for saving/protecting the environment just wish the teacher would have put some thought into the issue instead of telling them to hug a tree..... make them do a recycling project... my God... they really are making the children stupid to compensate for school budget cuts!

@ EH By knowing the gender of the main character going to help you understand the story better?
