So What Are Consequences Anyway?

My brother had a job at the local golf course.

It was also the time of year for two-a-days. 

(Basically, an extra-long football practice).

My grandma had cancer, and she let my dad borrow her car so that I could take my brother and I to practice.

But, time management wasn't really my brother's thing.

One afternoon he was late getting home from work, and I sat on the stairs waiting by the front door.

He greeted me by slamming it.

Then he ranted about being late and about how it was my fault.

I pointed out that I was sitting there waiting for him for nearly a half-hour.

"You're a fucking bitch." He said.

What he forgot was that we were at Dad's house. 

I told him that if he talked to me like that, I would not be driving him to practice.

He called my Dad and started crying before handing me the phone.

I told my Dad, "No, I would not take him to practice. He cussed me out because he was late from work. I was ready to drive him."

My Dad said, "Please drive him to practice? For me."
