Brigitte's Book Reports

     Every month, my littlest sister, Brigitte, has a book report that is due.  They have to be colorful, artistic, and academic all at the same time. Brigitte's got the academic and colorful thing down, but as for the artistic part, it doesn't go so well for her. That's why she recruits me.  At the end of every month Brigitte comes to me.  Our conversation goes like this:

Brigitte: Maddie, I love you so much.

Maddie: Brigitte, what do you want?

Brigitte: Can you draw a picture for me for my book report?

Maddie: I guess.  Are you sure it's just ONE picture?

Brigitte: Okay, it's actually four, but don't worry they are small.

Maddie: Okay.  Let's go.

     After I agree to help Brigitte draw some pictures for her book report, we go downstairs to complete the job.  As soon as we get down there, Brigitte and I have another conversation.  It goes like this:

Brigitte: I'm sorry, Maddie, but I lied to you.

Maddie: About what? (even though I already know what's coming)

Brigitte: This month, we have to make a board game and each piece has to have a picture that goes with            the book. I have about twenty spaces.  (Then Brigitte laughs and says "Sorry").

Maddie: Okay, I'll help you, but you have to tell me what to draw, where to draw it, and all about what piece I'm drawing because I need to know that you actually read the book.

Brigitte: Fine.  Hurry up! It's due on Friday.  (It's usually Monday that she comes to me).

Brigitte and me smiling for the camera.  I am on the left, Brigitte is on the right.

     I then draw all of the pictures that Brigitte needs me to, and in return, Brigitte usually voluntarily helps me with the dinner dishes.  Sometimes I get annoyed that she asks me to help her, but it's my job as an older sister to help her siblings that are in need.  I love my job and will never give it up.
