We’ve all had our fair share of sibling rivalries, but this one takes the cake! A 15-year-old boy was forced to babysit his 4-year-old half-sister, who he’s admittedly jealous of, instead of hanging out with his friends. They end up at a corn festival, and as a storm approaches, his little sister runs into a cornfield, refusing to come out. With a tornado watch in effect, he makes a shocking decision. ️
