All in Good Time

My brother, Jimmy, is three years older than I am. I don’t think that’s a
good reason for him to be “the king of this house! “Why does he get to do so
much more than I do? He can stay out later, have sleepover parties, and he has
the neatest games and CDs.
“When can I do the things Jimmy can?” I ask my mom.
“All in good time, Jeffery” my mom always answers.
Jimmy is going to a concert tomorrow night. It sounds so cool! I want to go,
too. But my parents say no, because I am too young. Too young! I am 10 years
old! Can’t they see I am not a baby anymore? Jimmy is going with some friends
and one parent. I asked him if I could go with him, and he just laughed as he
patted me on the head. I hate it when he does that. Tonight we are going to
have tacos for dinner. Jimmy loves tacos. I hate them. But of course we are
having what King Jimmy wants. He is Mom’s favorite. I just know it. Jimmy gets
home from school earlier than I do, because he is in middle school. If our mom
is deciding what to cook for dinner, he is there to tell her. I can’t help it if I
get home a whole hour later. It isn’t fair! Someday I am going to be just like
Jimmy. I am going to go to concerts, and have my friends sleep over. I am going
to have better CDs to listen to, and more fun games to play. Someday I will be
able to do all the things Jimmy can do. I just want that someday to be today!
