Answer 1

My brother, who is normally very snarky towards me, has been sweetness personified these last couple of weeks. I smell a rat!

I know he wants me to give him my old laptop when I get a new one. Well, he can go to the dogs for all I care. Two weeks of niceness doesn't undo years of bad behavior!

His new-found sweetness seemed fishy to me, and when I found out that he knew I had ordered a new laptop, well, that made everything clear about his newfound niceness.

So I think I'm going to take the bull by the horns and tell him that I have no intention of letting him have my old laptop. It would be a horse of a different color if I felt his niceness was genuine, but my mother let the cat out of the bag when she told me she'd talked to him about my getting a new laptop.

I told her that the idea of giving my brother the old one was for the birds, that she could have it straight from the horse's mouth that my brother wasn't getting the old lap top.

I did horse around with the idea of stringing my brother along to keep him behaving nice, but decided that that would be as phony as his newly-turned niceness.

So...what do you think? Why no comment? Cat got your tongue?
