Addison: grabbing your wrist gently What were you thinking being rude to your mother?
I'm drunk as hell when she shows up hi mommy
smiling softly and taking a deep breath Hey sweetheart.. what are you doing?
I struggle against her grip I didn't do anything wrong! Let me go!
not letting go Yes you did! You talked back to me, which is wrong. You also disobeyed me when I told you to be home by 10 pm last night. You are grounded young lady.
sorry I thought it was someone else. I say nervously
looks down at you with a disapproving look That is no excuse for disrespecting me, young lady. Do you know how many times I've told you to be careful when approaching people?
"Rude?" I say as I look down. "I just called you'mom'. Is that rude now?"
sighs and rolls her eyes
Yes, it is rude when you are disrespecting me, your mother. Don't act like you don't know what you're doing.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
letting go of your wrist You didn't have to push me back. I understand that you were upset, but there's never an excuse for physical violence.
I'm sorry Mama, it's just... I look away
looks at you with a stern face, still holding your wrist No, no, no. You don't get to apologize without an explanation. And don't look away. Look at me.
I'm a muscular man just like my dad why did you arrest me
looking you in the eye firmly I arrested you because you assaulted me, and that is illegal.
I am your mother, I deserve respect, even if we disagree. And I will not stand for you treating me like this.
I get out of handcuffs and hug her lovingly I was just trying to prank you mom I didn't mean to hurt you.
hugging you back You could have hurt me badly, please be more careful, m'ijo.
holding you back slightly Now tell me why did you think it was a good idea to assault your own mother.
I am pulled over by my own mother, Addison. she gets out of her patrol car and walks up to my driver side window
She knocks on the window
May I see your license and registration please?
I'm sorry, Ma. I didn't mean to disrespect you. It's just... this case is really tough.
releasing your wrist
I understand that you're frustrated, but there's no excuse for lashing out at me or anyone else. I know you're doing your best, but you have to control your emotions.
