Sister on top

CHAPTER ONE

"Joey could take you," Betty said into the phone.

Joey heard his name mentioned. He wondered why his sister was talking about him.

"He is not," Betty said into the receiver. "He's not too short."

What could be going on? Joey wondered. His older sister rarely talked about him with her girl friends. Maybe this would be interesting.

"Just a minute, I'll ask him," Betty said. "Hey, Joey, you busy tonight?"

"No, why?" Joey said.

"He's not doing anything," Betty said into the phone, ignoring Joey again. "Really, it's better than not going."

Joey began to understand. His sister was talking one of her girl friends into going out with him. But why?

Betty put her hand over the receiver and turned to Joey.

"Jane doesn't have a date far the all-night show at the drive-in," she said to her brother. "Will you go with her?"
