I can't help but smile when I get to the end of the story. I was right, they were siblings, kids talking together. I got the idea from the drawing. And I can't help to admire Sam's persistence in spite of his or her sibling's negativity.
I understand this is your entry for a contest but I wonder if it is totally fiction or you know the kids with such hilarious conversation?
While this particular story is fiction, it's definitely a little bit based on my brother and I. I'm a stick in the mud and he's ready to try all sorts of new things!
That makes the two of you a perfect complement to each other!
