I gave my brother steel wool to wipe down our stepdad's new car as a surprise
Why would you give him steel wool and get him into trouble?
I thought he would get in trouble for it.
It is wrong to trick someone into scratching a new car. You should have to pay for the damages to the item and come clean about the incident.
Why should I listen to you?
I just think it's awful to try and get somone in trouble like that. You shouldn't let your brother take the fall for damaging the car.
