As I put the last piece of clothing neatly in my closet, my little sister stormed in to my room.

With her arms Full of I am not sure what. Before I could say anything, she dropped her pile of stuff on my floor.

Every part of me was screaming no, no, no! We just finished organizing everything in here.

But I calmly asked her, Lucy what is all the stuff? And why did you bring it in my room? Because mom did not want me to interrupt her in the living room.

Lucy why didn’t you just use your own room? I’m sorry sissy but there is no more space in my room.

I take a deep breath. And say so you had to come and make a mess in my nice clean room. Is this what you are telling me Lucy?

At this Point Lucy burst into tears.and I was struggling to keep my emotions under control.my mom came into my room and asked what is going on in here? I saw her face go from shocked, horrified, and surprised. Before

It returned back to neutral.

Lucy just kept crying. And apologizing over and over. I am so sorry Sissy, I’m sorry! I was frozen in place. Horrified at the pile of stuff in front of me. And I was caught off guard when mom came into my room.

Mom repeated herself, what is going on in hear? Well mom I had just finished organizing everything in my room. When Lucy came into my room and dropped this huge pile of stuff.

Mom took a deep breath and said, OK let’s all calm down. Lucy I need you to stop crying. And Leslie I know you are upset about this. I also know you try really hard to keep your room organized. But this does not give you permission to snap at your sister like that. Do you understand me? Yes ma’am I do.

Mom looked at Lucy and said, Lucy haven’t I told you to keep your room clean and organized? Haven’t I told you to get rid of stuff if everything does not fit in your room? And happened I told you that the living room, or any other room is not available just so you can put the stuff that you cannot keep in your room into?

Lucy looked at mom with tears on her face, and said yes ma’am you have.

Mom looked at both of the girls and said, well then I hope this is a good lesson for both of you. Leslie yes teach to control your emotions. I think you are a little bit OCD about cleaning. And you Lucy will learn to clean up your room. And starting this instant you will start getting rid of stuff. They both understand? Leslie and Lexi said yes.

Leslie apologized to Lucy for the way she reacted. And Lucy apologized to Leslie for the 100th time for making a mess in her room.

After all of this the sisters never had an argument like this again. They both kept their side of the bargain. But they were still sisters after all. The only things they Argued about our stupid sibling stuff. That all families deal with on a day today basis.
