Big Brother, I AM NINE NOW! (Persona)

-->

Dear Big Brother,

I am nine now!

I swim six days a week now

And I have two cats now

I even sleep in my own bed now.

Big brother,

I don’t believe in Santa anymore

And for that matter,

I don’t believe mommy anymore either.

As it turns out,

There are quite a few things I’ve been lied to about.

There is in-fact,

No Santa,

No Easter bunny;

Not even a tooth fairy!

And not ONE kid in my whole class had ever heard of the “splinter Fairy”

So I guess Mommy and Daddy just totally made that one up.

They even tried to replace Mittens Fluffy Pants,

The hamster you bought be for my fourth birthday.

Well,

He died.

And they thought they could just

Put another fat black hamster in the cage

And I wouldn’t notice.

I noticed,

Because,

 I’m nine now.

Big Brother,

Do you know what it is like to be lied to?!

Do you know how many times I have cried?

For you.

Big Brother,

I am nine now!

And its time that I know the truth

It’s time that I really knew about you.

Big brother,

I don’t know where you are,

But I know where you are not.

You are not in college.

Big sister is in college,

She comes home and stays for a long time,

She calls home,

Every single day,

Big sister sends us packages with stuff from her college.

Me and Emma even got to help her move in,

She let us make her bed.

Big sister is in college right now,

But you are not.

Brother,

I don’t know where you are

Or why no one will tell me.

Why wont anyone tell me?

I mean,

I am nine now!

Its about time that I know!

NOW!

Brother,

I promise,

I wont even tell Emma,

She’s only five now,

We’ll make her wait till she’s nine,

But I

I am nine now!

So Kevin,

Please write back and tell me where you are right now.

This is the fourth birthday that you didn’t come to

But from everything I hear,

You love me!

So just tell me where you are,

Now.

Love your Big Baby Sister,

Anna
