"Kids! Kids!" Mr. Brooks came running out of a house toward Ben and Mary, shouting at them, "What are you doing outside? I told you not to come out until the smoke cleared up!"
"I apologize, Father. It's my fault," said Ben, "I wanted to go outside to play, and I brought Mary along with me."
Mr. Brooks said, "In that case, Mary, if your brother asks you to do something that you know you shouldn't do, say no, okay?"
Mary replied, "Yes sir."
"Alright, now you two come back inside." said Mr. Brooks.
Mr. Brooks turned around and started walking back toward the house. Ben and Mary followed.
Mary whispered to Ben, "Either I'm going crazy, or we seriously messed something up. Did your dad just call you my brother?"
Ben replied, "Yes, I heard him say that as well. I think we should go along with it and act like everything is normal until we get a chance to fix this problem."
Mary asked, "You sure?"
"Yes."
