Sound Advice Ignored

I’m twenty-nine and visiting home. My youngest sister is seventeen and, of course, knows everything and is always right (like many of us were at that age).

A conversation between my mother and me is interrupted by my sister and father walking into the room mid-argument.

Sister: “You never listen to me!”

Dad: “That’s not true!”

Sister: “I asked for concert tickets three times!”

Dad: “And each time I just heard something expensive.”
