Today I got home, like usual, and babysat my little brother and sister. Then my little sister comes up to me and hands me her phone, saying my step-maja (mother) wants to talk to me. My dad's in the hospital for a kidney stone. It's nothing serious, but he'll be there for a while, maybe a whole night. She's staying with him. I'm worried, a bit. I don't like having family members in the hospital. I don't think many people do.
So I babysit for a while, and my older sister comes over. The little ones go to bed. We watch a funny comedian. It's kinda late, like one in the morning. I hope my dad is doing okay. My little brother has a cool Star Wars nerf gun. I don't know if the "n" in "nerf" is supposed to be capitalized.
I feel bad about enjoying this, but between everyone's schedules, my sister and I, who used to spend a lot of time together back in the day, don't really have time to just hang out a lot. Plus, it's weird, tucking in my little siblings and staying up like that. Maybe it's because I grew up being the littlest until very recently when my dad got married. Maybe I've been reading too many Maximum Ride novels, because it kinda felt like I had my own flock. Maybe I'm just saying silly things because it's one o'clock in the morning, and I tend to ramble when it's really late or really early. If you go far enough, really late and really early are the same time. Have you ever noticed that? I think I'll try to go to sleep now.
Be brave!
