Oh History Book, where art thou?

So I know it's been a while, but nothing really interesting has happened. Until today. I took Olivia to my aunt's this morning so my uncle could take her and our cousin to school. She gets out, shoe and sockless and like strains to climbs up the stairs to their front door. I get to school and to my disgust, she has left her history book in my car. It's 7:45 and I don't have time to drive all the way back to my aunts and nobody has answered their phone so I don't know if they have left yet. I leave Olivia a voicemail telling her that her stupid book is in my car. Thankfully my uncle calls back five minutes later as I'm talking in the lobby. So I walk back out to the car to unlock it and wait for them to arrive. As I'm about to walk off and just leave my car unlocked, they drive up and Olivia climbs out, wearing shoes, and grabs her book. I tell her "you're welcome" and start to walk off when she offers me her diet coke. I'm not a fan of diet anything but I accept the peace offering. It's only when she runs back to the car that I realize the can is a fourth of the way gone. Thanks, little sister.

Shock Collar

So I'm sitting on the couch in the great room (aka the living room; my family just wanted to be fancy) just listening to music when I hear my mom yell "Olivia" really loud. I immediately perk up, turn off my music and pay attention. Olivia is sitting in one of the arm chairs reading her Harry Potter book with a smirk on her face. My mom walks in holding up one of our dog's shock collar. (Background info: we own a small begion-wiener dog mix who is two. In our yard we have a hill and a metal fence that does not touch the ground all the way in one spot. When we first got Charlie he got out of the fence a lot so we had to get a shock collar so he wouldn't run away.) I become very confused as to why she is holding the shock collar so I ask what's up. Apparently, Olivia had put the shock collar on my five year old brother Evan and told him to walk out the front door and get the mail (the invisible fence only extends to the front porch). Thankfully, Evan had gone into the sun room and showed my parents what his sister put around his neck. She almost got grounded. So close, and yet so far away.
