SIBLINGS BANTER

Wow! Wow! Wow! Look who we have here. Talk of the devil, Louisa snapped at Michael, hope you get paid for watching people who are earning heavily for their selves while you sit and cheer them up like someone who does not have anything doing.

Last, I checked, I am the last child and most importantly, a boy so why can't I watch football. Why should anyone bombard the king of the house with works?

Because you eat, have you not heard that there is no food for a lazy man?

Whoosh! You have said it yourself. I am a boy and not a man so that does not apply to me at all.

Hahahaha Michael you are never serious, I had better record this now so when I call you a boy you will not have anything to say in your defense, and Louisa scoffed.

Tsk, please the both of you should behaving like a toddler that needs to scolding to come to their senses. Moreover, you Mr. Man, you better start getting busy now before I beat the hardworking spirit into you.

Mum this not fair na, I think I should check the hospital I was delivered, maybe; just maybe the midwife has some explaining to do...Michael said.

Yeah, definitely, I think you they swapped you. I cannot wait for my real brother to be back to this house so we can rapport properly.

I know that you hate me sis Louisa but I was just expecting you will do a good job by hiding it but it seems I just was too optimistic. No worries, from tomorrow I will just have to go in search of my true parents and leave the both of you here.

That will really be nice Michael, their mum intruded, I'm sure it won't get to two days before you will be returned that there's still a mix up somewhere, you should be grateful that I'm having to condole all your troubles. Their mum said looking serious

That's not true mum, so even you too cannot wait for me to leave this house. Michael pouted his lips feigning anger

Well last, I checked you said you would be looking for your real parents, I did not say that, you did.

No problems I will just leave now since nobody wants me, of what use am I to this house anyways.

Louisa sensed that he took the joke seriously, so she hugged him from behind halting him in his steps, whose brother is this?

Yours.... Their mother screamed

Mummy why will you even say that to my brother, my one and only brother, my better half; look at big sis Michael, with that Michael turned around to face his sister. She took his hand into hers and said, look bro, you are the best brother in the world and you know we love you right?

Michael nodded his head in affirmation, of course, there is no doubt that you both love me, he said.

Mum and I you know we are joking right? She added.

Most importantly, he is my husband Louisa, how can you forget to add that? Their mum added to lighten up the mood, with that the family burst into laughter. Ever since their father died, Michael has really been emotional about little things and one of the way to cheer him up was to pet him so he doesn't miss his dad so much since he was very attached to him and both mother and daughter have been trying their best to do so.

Okay enough about me sis, how did the job hunting go? Michael asked and immediately he asked, Louisa's mood got ruined and that didn't go unnoticed by Michael

It is okay sis; you do not have to tell me now if you do not want to all right?

Yes sir, she answered jokingly.... At times, she marvels at how her brother normally switch from a big baby to a matured man, my brother is really growing.

Of course, I am, Obi must not remain a boy forever, he said giggling

I did not know I said that out. Louisa creased her brows as she watch her brother praising himself. Life has not been easy but having a family like this makes life looks easier.

Louisa let's go and prepare dinner, her mum said and pulled her out of her reverie and Michael please go and do those laundries before we finish cooking

Okay mum, after you.
