Not Being Caught Off Guard (by Katrina)

The book I have been reading is called Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends

The part I have been reading is by Grace Mally a 12 year old girl.

Grace was sitting in the car and Sarah said, "let's write a book to help brothers and sisters". Grace thought "another one of Sarah's big ideas". They have seen familys not get along. So they agreed to write the book. They said we shoudn't be suprised if it is hard to get along. The very first brothers on earth fought. They fought and Cain even killed his brother Abel.

When we say something without thinking about it it can lead to trouble. Some years ago Grace's dad had gallbladder surgery. That night after the surgery Grace's dad was very sore. Grace's mom had to help Grace's dad get into the bed. In the night the phone started ringing. Grace's dad got out of bed and ran to the phone. Then he remembered the surgery. In the same way, we can be caught off guard in our family and that can cause problems.

This book helps me not to be caught off guard when my brothers and sisters say or do something I don't like. It helps me not to say something bad. It helps me to be aware of it so I am not caught off guard and then all of a sudden say something bad. - posted by Katrina
