Boom!

It was sunday afternoon, we were in the living room. When in walked my big sister and my whole world just went Boom! She announced that she was pregnant! Yes in the family way! I was lost for words, not a thing to say. My Mother she went mad, so did Dad as well, the words that they both said, i cant repeat or tell. My brother he just laughed, ( I think he needs to grow. ) But then he is the youngest and doesn"t really know! My Sister she just cried, yes cried and sobbed and wept, and then on my Mothers lap, eventually she slept! My Mother looked at Dad, Dad looked at the floor, i glanced up at my brother as he headed out the door. The silence in that room, was the worst i"d ever hear. I looked at Mum and Dad, felt the pressure and the fear! Up the stairs went thumping, and my brother reached his room. We could hear him on his mobile, relating doom and gloom. Then we heard him laughing, i thought " His head will roll!" You"d think he"d know by now, to take some Mirth Control!
