You know there's something not quite right when you have to beg your brother for permission to do your own homework.

Okay, so I have given up being mean to my brother for Lent! =D Because I think I am very mean to him sometimes, even though he deserves it most of the time ==

Usually..
Me: Andrew get off the computer I need to do my homework (because we share a computer)
Him: (intensely concentrating on him computer games) No.
Me: GET OFF! (shoves him off the chair, literally, haha)

Today!
Me: Andrew, can you get off the computer? I need to do my homework.
Him: (intensely concentrating on him computer games) No.
Me: Pleeeeease, Andrew, can you get off the computer so I can do my work?
Him: No.
Me: Pleaase Andrew, can you play your games later and let me go on the computer?
Him: (in an extremely condescending tone, while never taking his eyes off his INTENSE computer game) No Anna. You need to learn that you can't get everything you want in life you know.
Me: Please Andrew, may I go on the computer. I begging you! Please let me do my homework, dear!
Him: No.

- goes on for another half hour -

Me: Andrew, can I pleeeeease do my homework? Pretty please?
Him: (long exasperated sigh, like he's giving in to some little child's whims or something) Fiiiiiine.
Me: Yay! Thank you for letting me do my homework! Thank you so so so much! You're the best! =D

So, as you can see, I am trying very hard to be nice to my brother. =D
