An Ant Hill Out Of A Molehill

A time when I had a responsibility that I did not think I could handle was when I was told to watch my little brother for a hour to an hour and half. We are only three years apart and I was no older then twelve at the time. Which made him nine and no nine year old likes to listen, well at least he did not. Also since I am not to tall and neither is he, but in his mind he is, he believed he should be in charge. What he did not understand is when your put in charge of someone else what they do becomes your fault also. What he really just wanted is to have the ability to tell me what to do. Since he is so rambunctious some times I did not believe I could handle him on my own. But in the end it was not as bad as I first imagined. We got along that day perfectly well and he did every thing I instructed him to do. Which was a success since our parents did not come home to the house burnt down. If I am being honest I would have to say I really enjoyed watching him; we had a lot of fun. I do not regret being giving this responsibility even though at first it seemed like to much.
