My sister is a real pain sometimes. Shes always getting in my face about stuff， really annoying me all the time！ So I tell her to get out of my face， or quit bothering me， but then she gets her nose out of joint and becomes really upset. She tells me that Im always getting on her case—but I tell her to get real！ Shes not being realistic because I never criticise her. But her...shes always doing something she shouldnt be， always getting up to
