It all happened so fast! Joey, my little brother, and I were chasing each other through the house. Our mom has warned us about running inside, but since she wasn’t home we felt free to have a little fun. I was dodging my brother in the formal living room when I ran right into the coffee table. Then, in an instant my mom’s favorite vase hit the floor. Crash! Her treasured artifact was in pieces on the floor. Now I don’t know what to do. If I tell my mom that I did it, I’ll be grounded for a week. I could blame the broken vase on my brother, but I’m pretty sure he’d be mad at me for life. Oh, perhaps I should tell her that our dog Patches knocked it over. Patches won’t be able to set the story straight. What should I do? I’m scared to admit to my mistake and I’m also scared to make someone or something else pay for my error!
