"If you tell mommy the whole truth straight to her face, she'll be scared stiff for sure! If she finds out that the brother whom she used to love has become such a terror… he he he!" The boy felt a touch of schadenfreude for his uncle's misery!
"Then, think of a way out for me, alright? Tell me how to manage this matter!" His uncle issued an order.
The little lad told him petulantly. "I'm not gonna do that! You find a solution yourself. Settle your problem yourself, and don't push it onto others!"
With that, he stood up eagerly, ready to walk away.
