Bossy Boot: Tis' Pay back time!

My brother Kev is back from Perth just for the weekend to take more of his belongings for his 'permanent' move to the West.

However, 'coincindentally' his girlfriend happened to fly back to Melb from QLD also the same time. Surprise, surprise. Not!

So as soon as Kev came back on Sat morning at 1am, we never saw the guy until tonight's dinner (that means the entire SAT he was kidnapped by his g/f).

So being the annoying sister, I had to intervene and act as the 'big annoying sister'. You see, this is my bro's first serious girlfriend and since I was in the dating scene earlier than him, he would always be so overtly protective of me so much so that he was worse than my own father! I remember it was sweet at first to have a protective older bro. Then it became a joke. He even looked at what I was wearing before I was allowed to go out with a boy! Plus, he would ring me at night if I went out too long for me to come home immediately. (But I must say, he's not as bad as Niao!My other bro is ten times worse than Kev!).

Anyways, now that he's got a girl in his life and have totally neglected his family, I thought 'ha! It's payback time!'. So yesterday arvo, I rang Kev to pester him asking where he was and then made him promise me he'll come home by 10pm. He said 'yep sure' (just so I could get off his case). I also had a go at him for 'spending so much time with his girl' and zilch with his own parents! We finally hung up with him promising me that he'll be there at the family dinner on Sun (tonight).

Anyway, as I was just about to hit the sack at 11:30pm last night, I realised, Kev's broken his promise. He's still not home! Immediately I did my evil laugh and wrote the most sweetest sms to him. It read 'What time is it?It's going 2b midnight soon. Past ur curfew!make sure u come home @once young man & ur NOT zzz at ur g/f's house either!' LOL! He must've had a good laugh too. Finally he came home at 12:30am and switched on the light, waking me up to say 'Mei, I'm home'! I tell ya, I so was NOT a happy Jan. (but I guess I got what I deserved.)

We had a good family dinner (minus Al, though we rang him while having dinner). We talked mostly about Kev's new job at Capricorn (A very good business concept in deed!). Good to see he was really passionate about his newly found company. Anyway, after we finished the main meal, Kev had to run (back to his ger ger of course!). Didn't even have time to stick around for dessert.

After my bro left, I thought this was the best time to give my parents a headache (of course I was only stirring just so I could negotiate for a better future =). Here was our conversation:

"Mah, Bah, you know you guys don't treat your children fairly"
"Oh really, what makes you say that?" , asked mum.
"Well, for example, last night your son wasn't home until 12:30am! Normally if it was me, You guys would hit the roof and ring me immediately!".
"Well, I didn't know Kev's mob number", my dad answered pathetically (more like just trying to make up an excuse!).
"What?! Kev's # is posted on our whiteboard!!"
"Oh really?", my dad said innocently and I could see his nose getting longer as well.
"Mei, you know it's cos we have to give Kevin a chance to get to know his g/f. After all, he is going to be 30y.o soon", mum explained carefully. Bingo! just the answer I was waiting for to start my point of negotiation.
"But mah ah, I'm going to be 25y.o soon! And women needs to get married earlier than men. So I hope you guys don't ring me when it's 1am and I'm still at my boyfriend's house! How embarrassing would that be!"
"What?! No way, I'm still going to ring you. You will still have a curfew and ok lor, it's 1am", my dad explained half smiling and half serious.
"What?! but I thought you said when I finished uni and start working full time, you won't intervene in my social life anymore!" (which was exactly what my dad said 3yrs ago!)
"Nope, sorry I'll only stop caring once you get married", my dad said turning his head away from me as if to say 'it's not negotiable'.
"WHAT?! Even if I did get married, you will probably still change the rule yet again to say, I will only stop caring once you have babies", I helplessly tried to argue my way back. It didn't work.
"YES BABIES! You know your father's hand is really itching for you guys to have babies for him to play with real soon", my mum intervened to change the subject.
"OMG! What did you say?!!!". I completely lost my appetite after that.
