Sister: What’s the matter with you? Mom told you to watch when the soup boils!
Brother: I did! It boiled at exactly 6:25!
Sister: What’s the matter with you? Mom told you to watch when the soup boils!
Brother: I did! It boiled at exactly 6:25!
Sister: Mom asked you to put salt in the salt shaker. Why didn’t you do it?
Brother: I tried, but I couldn’t get the salt through those tiny holes!
Sister: Did you clean that fish before you put it in the frying pan?
Brother: Why should I clean it? It couldn’t get dirty in the water!
Sister: Well, what kind of fish is it?
Brother: Smelt.
Sister: I know it did. But what kind of fish is it?
Sister: Mom and Dad just bought me a bird for a pet.
Brother: What kind of bird?
Sister: A keet.
Brother: Don’t you mean a parakeet?
Sister: No. They just bought me one.
Sister: Why is it you get into more trouble than anyone else in the family?
Brother: I guess it’s because I get up first!
Sister: Mom wants you to come in and help fix dinner.
Brother: Why? Is it broken?
Brother: Do you know what I’m going to give Mom for her birthday? A beautiful cut-glass flower vase.
Sister: But she already has a beautiful cut-glass flower vase.
Brother: No, she doesn’t. I just dropped it!
Sister: Did you tell Mom you broke the vase?
Brother: Yes. I said, “Mom, do you remember that vase you always worried that I would break?” And she said, “Yes, what about it?” And I said, “Your worries are over!”
Sister: Uh-oh. Dad’s really going to be mad when he sees the big hole you dug in the front yard. What are you going to do with all that dirt?
Brother: Don’t worry about it. I’m going to dig another big hole and bury it all!
Sister: Aw, you’re a baby. You’re afraid to go upstairs in the dark by yourself!
Brother: I am not!
Sister: Yes, you are. Fraidy cat! Fraidy cat!
Brother: I am not afraid. You come up with me and see!
Sister: Mom just cleaned your room. She says you’re not fit to live with pigs.
Brother: Oh yeah? And what did you say?
Sister: I stuck up for you. I said you were.
Sister: Where are you going? Mom said not to walk on the kitchen floor unless your feet are clean.
Brother: My feet are clean. It’s only my shoes that are dirty!
Brother: Dad says we can go to the carnival on Thursday.
Sister: But it’s supposed to rain on Thursday.
Brother: Well, if it rains we’ll go the day before.
Sister: Mom asked me to fix your grapefruit for you. How much sugar do you want on it?
Brother: Too much, please.
Sister: Why haven’t you changed the water in the goldfish bowl?
Brother: They haven’t finished what’s in there yet!
A brother and sister had a fight and were sent to bed without any dinner.
After lying in bed for about ten minutes, the brother decided to make up.
So he tiptoed down the hall to his sister’s room, and whispered, “Are you awake?”
“I’m not telling you!” she whispered back.
