Because she did not want Tommy to see the book
The main characters in "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov are Margie, a schoolgirl, and Tommy, her classmate. Margie and Tommy discover a printed book in Margie's attic and are intrigued by the concept of a physical book, as they are used to learning from a computerized school system in the future.
Margie asked Tommy why someone would write about school because in her time, school was taught by human teachers, unlike in the story she was reading where school was taught by mechanical teachers. This concept was foreign to Margie as she couldn't comprehend the idea of not having a human teacher.
I'm pretty sure they are friends. From the way they say "my mother" or "my father" rather than "mom says" or "dad" ... and they way they don't seem to have a shared past. It sounds like a friendship rather than a sibling relationship.
There is no Margie O'ryan, but there is a Margie Brooks. See Who is Margie Brooks
Margie is eleven and Tommy is thirteen. The story is set in the year 2157, so as of this writing (2011), they haven't been born yet. :)
