At home, Kaylee called and asked me to help her out.
"Kayla had Chemo and she feels tired," said Kaylee.
"Okay," I said.
Chemo makes her feel that way and her mom gives her a break from helping Kaylee out. I replace her because I live three houses over and it's easier. Kayla was sleeping in her room when I got there.
"Mom thinks I should handle myself, but it's hard to do so when all my siblings are home," said Kaylee.
"I don't blame you, especially for D.J. and Mario," I said.
They fight all the time and I know how to stop them.
"Should we go to the park to let Kayla sleep for a bit?" I asked.
"Sure. Only D.J. and Mario are grounded, so they can't leave the house," said Kaylee.
"For what?" I asked.
"They broke a vase while playing ball when Mom tells them not to," replied Kaylee.
"I'm not surprised," I said.
"I caught them doing that and Mom grounded them for two weeks," said Kaylee.
"Keep them here with me if still you want to bring them outside or the park," I said.
"Good idea," said Kaylee. "Other rules are no TV, no going outside, and phone calls."
"Okay," I said.
"Mom said they don't have to be in their room unless breaking any rules twice," said Kaylee. "I'll bring the younger kids out in the backyard in case you need me."
"Sounds good," I said.
Kaylee gathered the others and headed outside. I heard the boys yelling and went to them.
"Pipe down. Your sister's sleeping," I said.
I noticed the TV was on, so I shut it off and took the remote.
"Hey," said D.J.
"No TV, remember?" I asked. "Rules are rules. Disobey again and you'll be heading to your room."
I went to hide it for now.
Twenty minutes later, I caught both of them on the phone talking to a friend as I took it to hang it up.
"Go to your room now," I said.
"No," said Mario.
"Yes, or I can call your mom," I warned.
That made them go to their room. I am firm to them. An hour later, Kaylee came back in with the rest.
"I sent them to their room, they broke two rules," I said.
"Good," said Kaylee.
Their mom came home 20 minutes later. I told her about it and she was glad I made them listen.
"Mario almost refused to go to his room, I warned him I could easily call you," I said.
"Good," said Mrs. Willis.
She paid me and I went home. Kaylee went home with me for awhile. She needed a break. We were in my room.
"They tire you out," said Kaylee.
"Yup," I said.
"The others get along fine," said Kaylee. "They're tired of hearing the boys fight."
"I believe it," I said.
Kaylee stayed for two hours.
