Riku stars in a Cartoon show
When I snapped out of it, Riku had just walked into the living room.
I couldn’t begin to understand what had just happened. For lack of anything better to say, I said “You’ve not just been in that cartoon show by any chance, Riku? Please never do it again because it’s dangerous!” Riku didn’t seem to know what the heck I was talking about.
Now whenever I can, I’m going to keep an eye on my little brother when he watches cartoon shows or he again gets swept up in the fun and turns into a cartoon character. Since this morning, I’ve been having this feeling that some of the big name cartoon characters kids adore all over the world were once real little boys and girls, you know, with big sisters, classmates and smelly sneakers like Riku. If Riku ever turns into a cartoon character, however popular it may be, my parents-especially mom would be devastated. They really love that kid. So I can’t ever tell my parents that Riku starred in the cartoon show. They’d kill me. As a responsible big sister, I can’t let my little brother lose himself in watching a cartoon show and turn into a cartoon character.
