The author was successful in creating child-like dialogue because there are many phrases that many of us have also said before. There are childish quotes that no adult would say.

“huh-uh,” I say. “You’ll tell.”

“You said you wouldn’t tell.”

# data[].attributes.body
Little kids are always worried about getting told on and getting in trouble. Children are also very gullible. So the repeating question of "promise you won't tell?" definitely gives off children vibez.

I think by having some dialogue in the text helps bring out some of the child voice the author is trying to show. And the way the story had started off with the boys playing outside with friends, it also brings out the voice of a child with how trusting and naïve the boy was

I thought it was funny that his brother actually convinced him to do that but then again it was gross because the whole house had the urine steam.

i think it was really discusting how a brother could try so much as to get his younger brother in trouble by making him pee in a furnace and create a fog of evaporated urine in the air. I felt that it was bad how an older brother could teach his younger generations of sibling such bad habits

I know this is because I don't know anyone who would let their older sibling manipulate them into doing something like this. I also cant relate because I am lucky to be an only child.
