A boy called Omar has a younger brother who's worked out a trick. Whenever they argue, his brother waits until a parent is nearby, then bursts into tears and cries "Omar's being mean!" — even when Omar did nothing. The parent rushes in, Omar gets told off, and his brother, behind their backs, gives a tiny satisfied smile. It's happened enough times that Omar is starting to get angry — not just at his brother, but at his parents for always believing the tears. He doesn't know how to prove he's innocent, and he's beginning to feel like there's no point even trying to be good.
