She narrowed her eyes at him, unable to stay behind her decision not to communicate verbally with her older brother until he understands where he messed up, "That's funny, because of the way you threw a tantrum in front of my boyfriend and then threatened to carry me out if I don't walk on my own two feet made me feel like a five year old given a time out by her father!"
