Hey Karina, Youll get a kick out of this, but you have got to keep it under wraps. You know how my sister gets under my skin, right? Shes on the phone every night. I have asked her a million times to keep a lid on it and let someone else use the phone, but all I get is the runaround. “Just get over it!” is what she always says. Its hard to keep your cool around her sometimes. I thought going to my parents to complain would help. But they just smiled, as if that was a solution. I realized that if I wanted to ever use the phone, Id have to take action myself. So I made a plan. “Keep your fingers crossed that this works,” I said to myself as I walked up to her. She was on the phone, of course. She glared at me, but this was no time to get cold feet. “Uh, Stacey,” I asked. She just kept on talking. So I pointed above her head and said, “Uh, Stacey” “What?” She barked. “Cant you see that I am on the phone?” “Yes,” I said. I had to keep the ball rolling, so I continued, “but I wanted to let you know that a huge, hairy spider is on the wall just behind your head.” Stacey screamed so loud that I am sure the person at the other end of the phone screamed, too! She dropped the phone and ran squealing upstairs. It was hard to keep a straight face, but I picked up the phone and said, “Stacey will call you back later,” and hung up. Finally, I got to use the phone! Pretty funny, huh?
