Quick write #7

I have been falsely accused before. Having two siblings, it is really a common practice. Either my older sister would want to shift the blame from her to me, or just because she would be mad and want to get me in trouble. For my younger brother, it was mostly the same. Except he was not smart enough about it and it would be soon discovered that he was lying. I am no angel in the family either so I have found myself falsely accusing my siblings before. Although, at least from my perception, they do it much more that me. Usually these false accusations were of minor offenses, such as who left the dishes out, etc. Nonetheless these things bothered me quite a bit. Sometimes they would be bigger things. One time, my sister told my parents that I had stolen money from them when I knew that she did. She even did it in front of me, but when they asked us she blamed me. I had to frantically try to clear my name and tell the truth without seeming like a liar. Eventually these things would get cleared up, or not. Either way, the ordeals are often unnecessary, but I understand the motives. In this situation, I felt angry and frustrated that they would not believe me. I felt trapped because I knew the truth but nobody would take me seriously. Although knowing what the feeling is like, I will not lie and say I haven't done it to her.
