FORGOTTEN, BY RYIA
In Mrs Kavalski’s literacy test, an older student suddenly appeared next to me. Not just any “older student”. It was my brother.
He peered at my sheet whispering quietly:
‘If you can’t think of a word, say, “I’ve forgotten the English word for it.
Then people will think you’re bilingual instead of AN IDIOT!” ‘
He slapped my back with such force that it made a sound, so loud the whole class turned their heads.
My brother had disappeared leaving a note covering his absence, which read…
“I forgot how to write concise statements – it’s a real pithy.”
Ugh! Joke Tuesday.

Hello Ryia,
A surprise visit from your older brother in a test would have been strange but he did offer odd advice. I wonder if Mrs Kavalski would believe it or give a pithy reply or was that take pity on you? I’ve forgotten which.
Keep writing and sharing. I liked the pun.

Funny I wonder if your brother has read your 100 word challenge?
So proud of you Ryia.
Keep writing, you are doing great.
What a great story to cheer us all up
Ryia, I hope you had a good night sleep after that big brother slapped on your back with such force that it made a loud sound, but if I would be you, I would have threw back that chair you were sitting on him, and run,bahahaha..
Well done Ryia.
Ryia that’s an interesting account of life in the class room..I particularly enjoyed reading how your older brother tried to be funny! Thank you for sharing, well done!
As a sibling I’m the oldest, this sounds like something I’d do back in the day 😂 good work Ryia!
