Geez, Andi, stop the “stop doing this” rules! (Not to mention you were also yelling in all four panels.)

Mom, stop making awful food!

Andi’s just in “yell at Paige” mode. Jason is evil-ly taking advantage of it. Oh what the heck, I would, too.

Hey! Unfair!

Gum is gross, anyway.

Unfair but she was asking for it.

I chewed it a lot as a kid, but sometime in my teens I lost the urge altogether and never got it back. Guess I realized that it means diminishing returns from lost flavor. I’d rather eat what I chew.

I stopped chewing gum when I got braces. Never went back to it after they were taken out.

Actually… I think this is just how it is for all older siblings with regards to younger siblings. I know my little sis took advantage of it often…

Actually, this is just how some families are at times. I remember when I was 10, a classmate at school called me for math help. I was helping her over the phone when my mother started telling me to hang up, it was suppertime. I tried, but my friend wouldn’t let me end the call. My mother was starting to get upset, and started yelling at me to hang up, come to supper. After several attempts to end the call, with my mother getting very upset, I finally had to hang up on my friend. When I came into the kitchen, my mother demanded, “Did you just hang up on her??” and made me apologize to her at school the next day.

Ah, the life of an older/middle sibling.
