“Can I get a new backpack?” I ask

My pens spilling out of the hole on the side

                                                                    “No you can deal with it”

“Can I get a new phone?” my brother asks

The watermarks forming because he dropped it in the lake 

                                                                    “Yes you definitely need better a phone”

“Can I get a new pair of leggings?” I ask

The holes in the ripping even bigger

                                                                    “No you can sew them”

“Can I get a new car? I want a truck” my brother asks

His perfectly fine new car sits in the driveway

                                                                    “Yes it will be much easier for baseball”

“Can I get treated fairly?”

I ask, nervously fidgeting my fingers

                                                                    “Hold that thought, your brother is calling”
