How my older brother make deals with me

Dear diary,

I have to write this down. I remember how my brother use to make a deal with me when washing the dishes. By the way, we are poor so we don’t have a dishwasher. We wash dishes manually. We have a scheduled routine.

During Lunch, my brother told me. Hey wash the dishes now & after dinner so that you won’t have to wash twice tomorrow. Well, I don’t think it well. I thought yep, I would have lesser schedule washing the dishes. This sounds like a good deal. This would do. I don’t need to wash twice tomorrow. Silly me. Without knowing brother would be washing the dishes twice. I got fooled by him. It goes on and on during elementary days.

But now I am in high school, homework tends to pile up like they would not even care that we need sleep too. They would love surprise test or the teacher would jokingly say we have recitation. It seems like I don’t have enough time. I get so moody that I would even be grouchy that I would even say “I had lots of homework to do”. I can’t even afford to wash the dishes anymore. My brother never complained about washing dishes everyday. It became his daily schedule. It is not like he's busy. The school he had transferred too. People there are nice. They give off the warm vibes “You are welcome here in this school”. We do homework but in the right amount. What I like about that school is that they don’t just focus on the intelligence of the students but also the way they do deliver speeches. They know how to express a message to everyone. I want to transfer schools but I am too scared since It is a new environment for me. I want to go try new things, but I ended up staying in the same school😟. I think I am a loner type.

About how my brother makes a deal with me, Thinking about it. I learned a lesson that when people offer you something, you don’t look easily at the advantage you can get but verify it first. Before believing into something that it is a good deal, think and study it first. List the advantages or any disadvantages. It is like when I see mothers who see a 90% discount on a curtain in the mall. They see the big discount value but the truth is it is just down by a smaller discount. If you would look at the older price like example a candy that is worth 25 each. It would have a tag 90% discount. But It is being sold for 20 each😅.

It is a good heads up not to fall into a pyramiding scam. Too good to be true deals are not good at all. It always comes with a price which you don’t even know.😥My family teaches me a very valuable lesson in life. Hahahahaha

Gosh, it is already 12:41 am. I can’t sleep anymore. My mind is so active right now. I’ve got school tomorrow. Why does having water on your hands or on your face makes you wide awake? Ughhhh... ugh ... I wonder if some people is just the same as me. Wide awake from the touch of the water.
