Family Squabble
Brother: Come on! It’s time to go!
Sister: Wait a minute!
Just hold your horses! What’s your hurry, anyway?
Brother: Well, I’ve got to stop and
get gas in the car, first.
Sister: That won’t take long.
Brother: Well, it won’t if there’s no
line at the pump.
Sister: Well, I’m
not quite ready.
Brother: I’ll give you five more minutes,
then I’m going on without you!
Sister: You wouldn’t do a thing like that!
Brother: Oh, yes I would! |
