Jack- Part 2

In part 1 we learned that Jack didn't want a brother. He wanted a sister. The sister ended up being Jackie. Unfortunately Jackie weighed 10 more pounds than Jack did when he was a baby and was much fatter. She got her own private room that Jack couldn't go in, unfortunately.
He tried to build a huge vacuum but when he was halfway done his Mom said, "No no no no no. You're supposed to be protecting her." Then he showed his Mom his angry face. He was told to go to his room. When his Mom told him to go to his room his Mom also told him to go do something in his room for an hour. It was a good thing he had his own computer.
