Siblings, cousins, grandparents — and the whole playground, sentence 4

Your big brother is right about blue whales but adds "you're only nine"; your best friend is still cross after you were bossy in a row about chameleons; and Uncle Mike's red-bull line is an old family joke everyone checked years ago, so now it is a tradition, not a fight.

Who acts: big brother, you, best friend, bull line, everyone, line · What happens: be, add, check · To what, where: nine, cross, row, old family joke, tradition · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Siblings, cousins, grandparents — and the whole playground» of the myths course of Mova's primary school.
