My brother’s name is Austin Jacob. He was born August 20th, 2003. He is currently in 4th Grade. He is more lean than I was at that age (which is good). He is about 4’ 11”, or somewhere around there. He likes watching tv, riding on his ripstick, eating food(same as me) hanging out with his friends, and pretending to be in some different world doing who know’s what, and watching movies. He also likes sports.

The sports he plays are football, basketball, and soccer. He used to play baseball, but he eventually got bored of it so he quit. But the bad thing was that he was actually alright at it and was better than me.

This is his first year playing football and he is doing alright. They are 1-0 and are playing in Atlantic this Sunday. My brother is on the line because he’s one of the bigger one’s. But I didn’t really think that he was going to be on the line because he isn’t one of the “Humungo” one’s on the field and he is one of the taller one’s but he’s not tall, he’s more like a medium sized person. But, maybe even I was as little as he was at that age.

My brother’s friends can be annoying A-LOT(ask Trent for proof). He has one friend that acts like such a smart person to me. But really, he’s not the smartest of the bunch. One time, He decided it would be a could idea to go ride down our basement stairs using clothes basket, but after he did do that, he ended up putting a bump in a wall and getting my brother in a bunch of trouble.

Another one of my brother’s friends thinks he’s super cool. He always wears a hat sideways, even when he’s inside.He also always wants to wrestle with me (and I still don’t why) but he’s actually one of the easy one’s to take down and since I’m not that big, Hey, that’s definitely saying something.

Another thing all my brother’s friends do is talk to each other using animal voices, for example let me show how they do this nonsense.

“Hey man, how’s it going?”
“Meow Meow Woof!”

“Oh really?”

“Mhmmm, and I was like mooooo and he was like oink.”

Now do you see the pain I go through whenever my brother invites a friend over to our house. Also, they do different type of gestures also. One time, I was going downstairs to do something, but all of the sudden I saw my brother’s friend in pouncing position and growling at me. I just slowly walked back upstairs and tried to forget what just happened. But his friends are really nice though so I hangout with them sometimes.

Next I want to talk my brother’s daily life after school. So, first, once he get’s home, he usually grabs a snack of some sort from the pantry. Then he usually get’s in his comfortable position on the couch and turns on the TV for about an hour or an hour and a half. Then, once my parents get home, he eats some microwaveable meal and then goes to football practice for about two hours. After that, he comes home, does his homework if he has any, and if he doesn’t, he usually just watches more TV.
I wasn’t lying when I said he likes TV now was I ?

Also, my brother is a big animal person. He’s always wanted a dog but my dad has always said no. But, last year, for school they got to bring home a crayfish but it wasn’t fun at all. I don’t even remember the crayfish’s name. But what I do remember is that the crayfish would not let us pick him up. Because of him not letting us pick him up, I kind of started bullying the crayfish and teasing him because he was annoying me so much. So, eventually, we just let him go at a creek. Then, a month later, we bought two fish named Bronco and Mocco. They are kind of boring but they’re better than the crayfish.

So, in conclusion, I’m happy I’ve written this piece of writing about my brother and I’m glad I’ve shared this with you but please don’t tell my brother I’ve written about him.
