Whatever happened to my new blue shirt?
There was a lot of noise coming from my room, as I slowly went up the stairs, a frown making its way on my face. I cautiously extended my hand to the door knob, there was a flash of blinding light and I saw what I hated the most; my two twin cousins Sheela and Tweela, also known as the devils of hell, jumping up and down on my bed, and their elder sister, my age fellow Hermy, spraying my new deodorant around the room, making my room smell like some kind of flowery garden. I screamed, there was another flash and I was being shaken awake.
‘Are you okay?’ I heard my mother say as I looked around my room frantically. No smell, no havoc. I heaved a sigh of relief. I looked at my mother as she eyed me suspiciously.
‘Bad dream,’ I hurriedly justified, getting out of bed and tossing my sheets on the floor. My mother sighed exasperatedly, and as I neared the door of my attached bathroom, she dropped the bomb.
‘Aunt Muriel is coming today,’
I tripped over my own feet in shock and looked at mom with an obvious ‘what-the-heck’ expression. My mother was casually making my bed.

I pumped up in air in my mouth and then let it out again with a ‘poof’ sound. My sister, Ashley banged her head on the table. I felt like it too; Sheela and Tweela were the bombs. In the bad sense.
Ashley and I had received long ‘behave-yourselves-or-suffer-the-consequences’ lectures. Like they would affect us. We were going to do what we had to do with the three devils. The doorbell brought a new dread as my mother glared at us and went to open the door with the typical ‘forced smile’. Ashley and I exchanged looks before Hermy, Sheela and Tweela came charging in past us. Before we could even register as to what had happened, there was a bang from upstairs and loud crashes came from our rooms. I was ready to cry and almost flew up the stairs. I wished I hadn’t when I saw what I saw.
The Essay on Older Brother Room Mother Kevin
Only being four years old, all I knew was my little brother was on his way. My family and I entered our large Ford van in a hurry to go see my mother. I was oblivious to what was going on because only minutes earlier I was on my bed sleeping when my older brother Jason woke me up whispering for me to "Hurry, Kevin's coming tonight." I was so excited that soon I would have a younger sibling to ...
Hermy was dancing stupidly on my bed, while Sheela and Tweela poured my prized paints on some kind of blue surface, which was thankfully not mine.
‘Come see Bree! We’re drawing hearts!’ Tweela or Sheela, either one squeaked at me, but I was in no mood to see hearts. This was going to be a long day.

Our house looked unrecognizable when our Aunt left. Half the crockery was broken and our possessions were scattered around the entire house. While my mother cleaned it up, I went up to my room to change into my night shirt and shorts. My mother had just bought for me a darling blue cotton shirt with polka dots on it. I didn’t want to even look at my room as its condition was not worth looking at. I gingerly made my way across the room over my scattered items towards my wardrobe but I was surprised when I didn’t find it where I left it hanging. Probably in the mess, it had disappeared. I decided to clean the room if I had any hopes of finding it. I bent down to retrieve my discarded sock when Ashley came in the doorway with the announcement that dinner was ready. I decided to ask her.
‘Whatever happened to my new blue shirt Ash?’ She looked puzzled as she looked beside me and screamed suddenly. I looked at where she was pointing and my heart skipped beats as I saw what Sheela and Tweela had drawn the hearts on.
My new blue shirt.
