Charlotte: Hey Jessica, you've got a brother called Kirk?
Jessica: Yes, that's right. He is two and a half years older than I am and we get along very well now.
Charlotte: You get along very well now. How did you get along in the past?
Jessica: Not very well at all actually. He was always very mean and heartless, should we say.
Charlotte: What was the first thing you remember him doing to you?
Jessica: Perhaps the first thing was the time I fell asleep on the bus when I was on kindergarten. He actually left me there sleeping and I didn't wake up until my lunch box fell on the ground. When the bus driver was parking in the bus garage. So anyway, yeah, I learned 1 at that point not to really depend on him so much.
Charlotte: What did your mom say when you got home?
Jessica: My mom asked my brother,"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?", referring to me and he responded, "Hey! How did you know I forgot my homework?"
