“Alright” said Strudel.  He turned off his CD player, and walked downstairs.

“I can’t believe my baby brother got suspended” said Potter.

“Potter, shut up” said Strudel. “The jerk wrecked my car”

“Strudel, you need to learn to control your temper” said Pearl.

“But he wrecked my car!” Strudel exclaimed.

“So?” said Pearl. “You don’t beat him up for it!”

“Yes I do.” said Strudel.

“It was you who beat up Poser, wasn’t it?” said Potter. “Yesterday he said he got beat up”

“Strudel, was it you?” said Pearl.

Strudel didn’t say anything.

“It was, wasn’t it?” said Pearl.  “That poor, innocent little boy!”

“Mom, he’s a POSER!” said Strudel.

“He’s a niice looking young boy” said Pearl.

“No” said Strudel. “I’M a niice looking young- wait, did you say ‘young boy’? I am gonna be 18!”

“Not for awhile” said Pearl. “You just turned 17”

“Whatever” said Strudel. “I can’t believe it! My own MOTHER!!”
