My Sibs Keep Fighting Over the Phone!

My brother, Kyle, and my sister, Alyssia, fight a lot over using the phone because they share the same one, and they pay the bills. It's hard because I can't even concentrate on my math when they are talking about bills and stuff. What can I do to get them to shut up and share? - Caitlyn, 15, Hawaii

"Hey, Caitlyn!" If I were you, I'd find a nice place in my backyard to take my math homework and let your two sibs waste their time fighting over their phone and its bill. OR you could start coughing in their faces saying "UGH! I think I have the flu! Ewww... I think I might barf! Hurry! Get out before I puke pink goo all over you! AHHHH!"

If they don't run for their lives after this one, you could always get them out of your room by eating lots and lots of onion dip right before you go up there to do your homework. Then when they start fighting go right up to them and say, "REALLY. You should share." Make sure you breath into their faces a lot. Have you ever smelled onion dip? Ick!

One more idea for you: Since you're working on MATH while they're fighting over their BILL you could offer to divide the total invoice by how many phone calls they each made and how long they were. Then you'd give them each their total and they could pay it. That way, you'd get a little math in while preventing their ongoing bickering!
