"Alice,where are my shoes?" Alice and I were fighting, again. We were getting ready for school and Alice had taken my favorite black Converse.
"I  don't have your shoes!" But she did and she wasn't telling me. BTW, she is a TERRIBLE LIAR.
" WELL IF YOU DON'T HAVE  THEM, YOU WON'T MIND ME SEARCHING  YOUR ROOM, WOULD YOU NOW!"
"FINE HAVE YOUR STUPID SHOES!" yelled Alice. Mom's ears were ringing as we argued. Dad was out of town on a business meeting; HE was usually the one to wake us up in the morning.  She tried covering her ears with her pillow. It worked, but barely.RINGGGGGGGGG  RINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! It was the alarm. "Girls,it's time to go to school."
"MOM ,LET'S GO! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR 50,000 YEARS! IF DAD WERE HERE, WE WOULD BOTH BE AT OUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS! COME ON!!!!!"  
"Okay, okay,"
