What Goes On In My House

= What Goes On In My House: Episode 1  =
*koff koff* Hello, guys. We all have things in our house. Hopefully, these things about the woes of being the eldest child, or just the insanity of my house in general are something you can relate to or it will just make you laugh (don’t feel bad to laugh). 
Raise your hand if you are the oldest child in your family. *raises hand* I am. I have two younger siblings, Abbie (the middle kid), and Leo (the youngest). Anyway, at my house, we have this thing called the ‘Ticket System’. Basically, if you do a chore or something nice, you get however many tickets deemed necessary. 
My parents are also strict with us going on phones or iPads. I’m the only one with a phone since we’re not allowed to have phones until we’re going into middle school. Anyway, we can use the tickets to trade in for money, use 15 for 30 mins on our device, or other. You see, we only get to go on our devices for 30 mins per day without having to pay tickets. And literally all (not being dramatic here) the friends or people I know but am not super close with have more screen time on devices than that a day. 
YeAh. 
Anyway, let’s get back to this whole ticket thing. My brother is 6 and gets LOADED with tickets. Lately, instead of using them to go on the iPad 24-7 like usual, he’s being responsible and saving them up. He saves for a week and then trades it in for money which he’s saving until June to buy a lego set. Yeah, he’s responsible, I guess. But guess how many tickets he counted up from ONE WEEK yesterday? 
NINETY. TWO. 
YES. 
I rEpEaT. 
NINETY. TWO. 
WuT?!? He got five tickets for getting my mom a glass of WATER. WATER! And yes, I may be overreacting, I don’t know, but he’s SIX. 
I’m SoRrY wUt? 
He should not earn FIVE tickets for getting my mom a glass of WaTeR. I got my dad ice water the other day because he was doing yard work, and he didn’t even ask me to. Can you guess what happened? I got no tickets. YeAh. 
Do you see where I’m going? Abbie is going to be 10 soon, and she has enough tickets to go on the iPad every other day, or every three days. Finally, we have me. I take out our dog AT LEAST 3 times a day, I do the dishwasher like every other day, clean my room every day, and have another random chore like laundry every day. Can you guess approximately how many tickets I have by the end of the day? 
NoNe. 
ZeRo. 
NaDa. 
WhAt iS hApPeNiNg?!?
