I was with my little cousins Marli, who’s 5, and Ben, who’s 12. Marli was blowing a plastic whistle she had gotten from a Chuckie Cheese, really loudly. Ben, being the 12-year-old big brother, asked her to stop, but she kept blowing the whistle louder and louder.
Eventually, Ben told their mom, and the mom told Marli to stop. I laughed to myself, reflecting on the fact that Ben was “whistle blowing” on his sister who was literally, whistle blowing.
