My grandparents are in the middle of a month-long visit with my family. This means I share my sister Indi's room.
"Isn't it fun that we get to be1 ?"said Indi on the first night.
"It is 2 "I said, smiling "Now how about we turn off the light?"
3 Indi is younger than me, her bedtime is earlier than mine, so what I really meant was "How about we turn off the big light so you can go to sleep while I use my mini book light to4 ?"
"Wait!" Indi said. "Will you turn on the fan? I always get5 "
I climbed down from the top bunk（双层床）to turn on the fan, then returned to6 . "Now it's time to sleep, OK?"
"Wait" said Indi. "I can't fall asleep7 listening to stories. "
"I don't want to listen to anything, "I said. "I want to read. "
"I 8 you'll change your mind when you hear it. " Indi pressed the play button 按钮） on 9 CD player.
That night, between the fan and stories, I had a hard time giving all my10 to my book and an even harder time falling asleep. Sharing a room didn't get any11 during the day. My objects kept getting mixed up, covered, and lost. My math book was missing for two days until I found it in Indi's dress-up box!
Finally, we had a family meeting to12 two solutions. First I did my nighttime reading in the living room and didn't 13 go into Indi's room until she's already asleep. That way, I didn't have to listen to stories while I read. Second nobody was allowed to14 the other person's objects without asking.
Every now and then, when my grandparents overhear me grumbling（抱怨）about sharing a room, they remind me to think about how15 we are for everything we have, and I realize they're completely right!
