Too many vexations in the house (Yap)

There always will be some conflicts in the family. As there are two girls in my family, there are always some vexations created by my sister and I in the house especially when we were young.
Actually, I love my sister very much. But at a young age, sometimes I could not be so considerate that I could not endure some of her behaviors, so my sister was so poor that she was bullied by me. Fortunately, my sister was forgettable about these things and when I told her about these, she was so generous that she forgave me.
My father is a man with little words, so we were not afraid of him. But my mother can deter us from quarreling easily because we are somewhat afraid of her. When we were young, my sister and I usually quarreled with each other with was very irritating. However, my father did not know how to repress our confliction, so he would always turn to my mother for help:” Go and see your daughters, the house is shaking because of their voices!” Then my mother would come with a straight face, shouted at us:” What are you doing? Are you going to rebel? Go out to play right now!” We were afraid of being punished, so we would run away as quickly as possible. My mother is still satisfied with her prestige now, and she always likes to tell us about the funny things we had done when we were young which we have forgotten. One is that when I was in primary school while my sister was in the preschool, one day, just about time for school in the afternoon we were quarreling severely. Then my mother came in and shouted at us angrily:” It’s time for school, what are you doing now? I will count to three, if you do not want to go to school, just stay there and wait for my punishment!” Hearing this, I pulled my sister right away to wash her face and took her to school in no time. And then, all the conflicts were forgotten and I only wanted to take my sister to school and avoid the punishment.
Now we have grown up and we would never quarrel with each other like we used to do. But sometimes we like to pretend to quarrel just for fun. My pet Doudou, a lovely dog does not like any conflicts in our house. This is very interesting because he always want to fight with a dog at first sight, and for this reason he was given the nickname “war hysteria” by mother. And when we were just pretending quarreling and fighting noisily, Doudou would bark anxiously at us and stand on his hind legs while waving his forelegs aiming to stop us. Then my mother would say:” How can you two girls act like that? Even Doudou still knows that there should not be so much noise in the house. Why do not you just stay out of my sight and make me a peaceful environment?” Hearing these words, we would take Doudou out for a walk avoiding irritating my mother.
So this is our life, always too may vexations in the house. But we still love each other and I enjoy the time we spend together. Mother, father, sister, I and a lovely dog, we are a family. Even though sometimes too many vexations, we still live peacefully as a whole.
