Not long ago, my little brother turned up.

He looks just like a potato.

Potato-face is always crying.

6

When he’ s not crying, he’ s eating or pooping.

He’ s not even slightly cute.

7

But for some reason my mother only cares about him.

8

She takes no notice of me.

“I guess you don’t want me anymore,”I say.

“If you say so, dear.”

10

m going to run away then.

“I’ I’ ll find a new home.”

“Yes, dear.”

11

It looks like I really am going.

I pack my most important things.

12

“This is your last chance to stop me.”

“Yes, dear. Here, Daichan-say goodbye to your big sister.”

When my potato-faced baby brother arrived, I realized I needed a new family.

No one seemed to mind when I packed my bag.

I took a box and used my best handwriting to write FREE KID, then waited for some new parents to take me home.
