“Happy birthday!” Eugene shouted as he gave Marjory her birthday gift.
“Oh, gee, Eugene, you shouldn’t have,” she replied.
“I knew you would like it, sweetie pie,” he said.
“No, I mean that you really shouldn’t have!" she replied. "I told you that I wanted a new dress, and I get a BROOM! Do I look like a witch to you? Do I look like I need a broom to ride around on?!” She threw the broom down and added, “I even gave you a picture of the dress and told you what store to go to. However, I guess it’s true that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”
“But the broom was on sale at Price Busters, and I figured you would get a lot more use out of it,” Eugene said in defense.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because Junior gave me a feather duster!” she snapped. “These are awful gifts! For your information, cleaning up after you and Junior isn’t something I enjoy.”
“Where are you going?” Eugene asked.
“__________________,” she responded. “I'm going to buy my dress.”

Answer 17

1 Newy always liked to tease me. When I was 10, he would call me "runt." When we would go to the amusement park, he would laugh when I wasn't allowed to go on the rides because I wasn't tall enough.
2 "Don't worry short stuff. I'll have a blast for the both of us. I hear they take you high enough to see Canada. I'll make sure to take a picture for you," he said laughing.
3 Newy was my older brother, and he was a pest. We had to share a bedroom, and there were days when I'd wake up to find he had taped my legs together. I'd be late getting ready for school.
4 Other times, he'd hide the remote to the television above the medicine cabinet because I couldn't reach it.
5 "I can't get the remote, Newy. I'm too short," I told him.
6 "The truth isn't always pretty," he responded.
7 "One day, you're going to get yours, Newy," I said angrily walking out of the room.
8 "Give me a break. You can't even tie your own shoes," he said laughing at me.
9 One morning, I set my alarm and woke up earlier than Newy. While he slept in, I went through his closet and pulled all of his clothes off of the hangers. I took all of his clothes from his dresser. I carried the pile of clothes to the basement, put them in trash bags, and set them outside by the garbage.
10 Newy woke up to the sound of the garbage truck beeping and roaring into the drive. As he got out of bed and started to get ready for school, he walked to the closet. He moved the empty hangers. He went to his dresser. Nothing was there either. As Newy panicked and called for our parents to see if they had taken the clothes, I rolled out of bed, smiled, and got ready for school.
