3. My Sisters Fault As far as I can remember it was all my sisters fault. I came around the corner of my house I see my younger sister sitting on the ground. So hear I am going as fast as I can griping my handle bars and my feet on the peddles. In the distance I can hear a lawn mower mixed with the wind from the air as I ride through. Then all of sudden my mom comes out of the house and pulls me off my bike before I get to my little sister. My mom took my new bike from and gave me a good thrashing. That’s why its all my sisters fault.
