The Wrath of the Older Sister - Be Very Afraid

I don't even remember what he said,

It was years ago. 

But did it even matter?

He'd said something insulting to my younger brother. 

For a six year old girl like me,

That was the worst offense.

That boy must have only been about seven or eight. 

But my brother was four,

So he couldn't really defend himself.

I was the sweetest, kindest, shyest child.

Rarely screamed, never hit anyone.

I was quiet and calm, with a pleasant demeanor.

So that's why it was really surprising.

When I punched the boy, hard,

And kicked him. 

One second, I was just staring at the older boy,

And the next second I was really angry.

I didn't even make the conscious decision to hit him,

It just happened.

I can't regret it though.

He deserved it.  

No one hurts my little brother,

Or they'll have to answer to me.
