They’re Not In The Same Club

(We are playing mini golf as a family for the first time. I am 13, and my brother is five. Everything is going well until I notice something: my brother is doing very well!)

Brother: *putts*

Me: “Wait, he’s doing it wrong!”

Mom: “Shh.”

Me: “But he’s not hitting the ball with his club. He’s dragging it to the hole!”

Mom: “Just let him have his fun.”

Me: “But…”

Dad: “He’s too young to know.”

(They told me to ignore it, so I did. Brother won. All I could think about is when I was his age and I would lose a game, they would laugh.)
