little brat

In a bid to win her brother's approval, the little monkey is suddenly gone soft-soaping, and of course honey-tongued. Making a doormat of herself and waiting on hand and foot she is virtually thrown herself at the feet of her brother. Fallen on knees she oils her tongue, flatters her brother and praises him to the skies. Her affectionate gestures, her kisses, her words and then willingness to obey shall get her reward/favour from her dear brother who she knows is in possession of something jazzy. After gadding around, playing with bat and ball, his favourite video game and watching his favourite TV program when the eight year old (darling) boy finally settles down to do his home work there is suddenly a commotion next door. The brouhaha of loud and unpleasant mixture of discordant sounds and shrieks fills up the atmosphere. Angers well up and the elders make inquiries to intervene. It soon transpires that that the two year old sister has sneaked in the room and torn her brother's books to shreds. While as the pencil has been sharpened till finish, the wunderkind jazzy sharpner bought only a couple of days back is broken into pieces. The slick designer Nintendo's gaming gizmo is gone phut and stopped functioning. Scribbled all over the English and Maths exercise books are teemed with all the henscratches and pothooks in the world. In a fit of anger the boy bursts into tears and strikes hard on the face of his kid sister. Much to his disappointment sympathies are not with him. His appeals and requests for help and justice all fall on deaf ears. His pleas are simply dismissed with scorn; instead he is reprimanded. The hapless child is reproached for his habit of carelessness and of course for wasting time. The little brat is since got the hang of operating the computer and is often found jostling with her brother to be in the driver's seat. At the end of the day she invariably emerges successful. 
Her eagle eye is always on the achilles heels of her brother, and parents. Not content with what mamma gave her she would shriek at top of her voice and pounce at her brother's share of nutties or ice cream scoop. The latter would demand, with justice, that he should be given an opportunity to be heard. But to his utter disappointment his request does not have any takers. No body is ready to side with him against his sister even though his is the genuine case.
