4/14/21: Helping Cooper: LO7_C

 So in my family you have to make a case like in business for things you want. Well only big things such as technology. So I had to make a case for an iPad and then a phone. My sister had to as well. She got her iPad in middle school like me but her phone in highschool whereas I got it in middle school. So there is no set age to get this kind of stuff, you can get it whenever you want as long as you make a good enough case. Now my little brother, Cooper, recently got an iPad yet he had to make no case. So unfair. The youngest siblings are always the most spoiled which is super frustrating to the older sibling. Now he is trying to make a case for a phone. Which is annoying to me because he already got an iPad without a case and now he wants to try to get a phone in 7th grade when I got mine in 8th. I know it probably doesn't make sense but this is just what we can categorize as sibling rivalry. Doesn't make sense unless you are in their shoes. Anyways last night while I was driving Cooper to get his basketball he asked me for advice on a case for a phone. One side of me is flattered that he asked and another is annoyed that he had the audacity to ask me to help him. But now I had to answer him. I could either tell him he isn't ready and isn't good or just answer with nonanswers that aren't helpful which honestly I did think about doing. But even though it sucks that the youngest always gets things the older siblings didn't I am his older sister and he needs advice. So instead I sucked up my pride and gave him helpful advice. Later that night when we were saying out gratefuls, he said he was grateful for me because I gave him really good advice and he really appreciates how good of a sister I am.
