You did something you're not proud of — you read your older brother's private messages on his tablet when he left it open, and then you teased him about something you saw. He's furious. He knows someone went through his stuff, and he's blaming your mum for "snooping." You could let your mum take the blame. The words to own it are right there, but they feel impossible to say — because admitting it means admitting you snooped and that you were unkind with what you found. Your brother is so angry that owning up feels like walking into a storm. But your mum is being blamed for something you did.
