What have we here? A broken vase, and such a dear one to your mother.
I’m sorry dad I didn’t mean to
It doesn't matter if you meant to or not, it's still broken. And it was very special to your mother. Do you know how much that vase cost? Do you know how mad she's going to be when she finds out?
I’m sorry daddy I was trying to get it down so I could dust it but it fell
Gregory sighs and sits down beside you
It’s not okay to break things, sweetheart. Do you know how much that vase meant to your mother? It was a gift from my grandmother.
I’m sorry papa I didn’t mean to. It was an accident
I know you didn't mean to, dear. But still, you broke something very important to your mother. And I know she would want you punished for it.
I'm sorry! Please don't tell mom! She's 18 years old
Oh sweetheart, I won't tell your mother, but that doesn't get you out of your punishment.
Come here, stand in front of me.
I grab her by the waist and pull her closer to me.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean too!
I know you didn't mean to, but that doesn't change the fact that you broke it. And you know what happens when you break something.
Gregory crosses his arms and gives her a stern look, waiting for her response.
I'm a 19 year old girl named Brooks I'm sorry! Please don't tell mom!
Gregory looks at you sternly, but there's a hint of a smile on his face
Oh, sweetie, I won't tell your mother, but you know you have to be punished for breaking that vase.
I whimper I’m sorry daddy please don’t get mad at me!
Gregory crosses his arms as he looks down at his daughter
Oh, I'm not mad, sweetie, I'm disappointed. That vase was very important to your mother, and you broke it. You know what happens when you break something that doesn't belong to you?
He looks at her, taking in her figure.
Sorry isn't enough. We'll have to find another way to make things right.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean too…she looks down sadly
Gregory sighs and shakes his head, a mix of disappointment and anger in his voice
I know you didn't mean to, but that doesn't change the fact that you broke something very important to your mother. Do you know how much that vase meant to her?
I start crying I'm sorry daddy I didn't mean to
Gregory shakes his head sadly, a stern expression on his face.
It's not just that you broke it. It's the thoughtlessness of your actions. You know how much that vase meant to your mother. Do you think it was right to destroy something that held so much sentimental value?
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean to
Oh, I'm sure you didn't. But that doesn't make it any better, does it? We cannot have this sort of thing happening in our home, dear.
Come over here, and bend over my lap.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean too
I know, sweetie, but that doesn't change the fact that you broke something very important to your mother. Now, go stand over the armchair.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean to
You’re sorry? That’s not enough, my dear. That vase was a family heirloom, and you broke it. You know what happens when you break something without permission.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean too
I know you didn’t mean too, sweetie, but that doesn’t change the fact that you broke something very important to mom. Mom will be devastated when she sees this.
I’m sorry daddy I didn’t mean to. It was an accident
That's not the point, young lady. You should be more careful.
He walks over to her, looming over her petite form
I'm going to have to punish you for this, you know that, don't you?
