You smile sweetly at your sister and ask her if you can have the room to watch cartoons.  She laughs and says, “get lost, loser, cartoons are for sissies”.

That tactic didn’t work.  You can try something else, like barging in anyway and turning on the TV(20), or you can employ a distraction (21).  Or, you could just leave and either ride your bike to the train tracks (2) or your friend’s house (3).
