When my brother and I got to the age where we stayed home alone, we used to do the most outrageous things. My parents would always tell us to keep the house clean, keep the doors locked and stay inside. We wanted to show that we were mature and could handle ourselves so my brother decided to clean the house before they got back. I thought it was a great idea until it happened. I was cleaning the patio and when I came inside, my brother had a long broom and was brushing the ceiling. He was scraping the popcorn ceiling off and the white flakes were falling everywhere. Then, he brought the hose in from outside and started spraying the walls. I cried. My parents came home and they cried. My brother didn't cry, he thought he did a great job. We got our butts spanked so hard that night. I'm still crying thinking about it. smh.
