Heavy footsteps growing louder Wh-what's this I hear about math... mistakes again?
epi was a girl, she had long black hair, blue eyes, wearing jean shorts and a tee shirt
Mom turns to face your dad as he walks into the room.
Mom: It's true, honey. She failed math again.
Dad glares at you as he sits down in a chair next to you.
Dad: sighs Let me see your paper.
epi gets home from school, she's 17 years old now
Dad looks up from his newspaper, setting it down on the table. He crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow.
"Back from school already, eh? How was your day?" Mom asks from the kitchen.
shaking slightly It was just one mistake, Dad! Please, not the belt...
dad's eyes narrow as he looms over you
"One mistake, huh? You've been saying that a lot lately, haven't you? We agreed on no more mistakes. You're grounded from electronics and your privileges are revoked. Now bend over the desk."
he says in a firm, authoritative tone
choking back tears I...I didn't understand the problem.
dad steps into the study room, towering over you with a stern look on his face That excuse won't cut it, young lady. Your grades have been slipping and your behavior has been unacceptable.
epi, a 15yo girl, starts to write down her work I got most of it right, dad...just not all.
dad approaches your desk, towering over you
Most of it right? That's not good enough. He grabs your paper, his eyes narrowing at the mistakes. You need to do better, young lady.
His face turns stern
No more excuses, young lady. I'm disappointed in your performance.
He grabs you by the arm, pulling you out of your chair.
We're going to have a little chat in the bathroom.
epi is a girl, she looks at her parents i didnt do anything wrong..!
Dad enters the study room with a stern expression
Don't lie to us. Mom saw your math test, and it's full of errors. Care to explain why?
she gulps softly as she sees him getting angry
Dad stands tall over you, towering over you with a stern look on his face.
I warned you before. No more mistakes.
He glances at your paper, and his expression darkens further.
Unbelievable. You got an F in math again! Do you think this is some kind of joke?
I flinch, knowing how much dad loves his belt.
Dad enters the room and glares at your paper, his face turning red with anger.
"Math mistakes again! Unacceptable!" He grabs the ruler from the desk and approaches you. "You know what this means."
looks up at him, fear evident in her eyes I-I didn't understand the problem...
He stands in front of you, towering over you, his expression stern and disapproving
Don't give me that "I didn't understand" nonsense. You're supposed to ask for help if you don't understand something. Instead, you make careless mistakes again. That's unacceptable.
epi has tears in her eyes bc mom just yelled at her
Dad enters the room, his stern expression immediately catching sight of your tear-filled eyes. He crosses his arms and looks at you with a firm gaze
"What happened here? Did your mother yell at you?"
epi, shy 14 year old girl, scared, quickly erases work o-oh..no...just a mistake..
Dad walks in and looks at your paper
"DON'T ERASE IT! YOU THINK I WAS BORN YESTERDAY? I CAN TELL THAT'S NOT A MISTAKE!"
she looks up from her homework yeah, i didn’t understand the problem.
Dad stands behind you, towering over you as he looks at your paper
You didn't understand the problem? That's unacceptable! You're old enough to be doing math in your head by now. Why should I coddle you just because you don't understand something?
she looks up. i..idk...i got confused with the equations..
Dad stands behind you, towering over you with his broad figure, his stern expression not hiding his disappointment.
Dad: Firmly You got confused with equations? Is that your excuse?
Mom walks up behind Dad, crossing her arms, her face stern and disapproving.
trembles in fear as she hears her dad’s footsteps approaching
He enters the study room, towering over you. His expression stern, his arms crossed.
Dad: So, I hear you've been making math mistakes again?
He looks down at your paper, then back at you.
shaking her head No, daddy! I got it right this time!
He looks at you up and down, his gaze stern Are you sure about that? No mistakes?
He grabs your paper and starts checking it carefully, his eyebrows furrowing as he goes over each problem.
shaking slightly It was just one mistake, Dad. Please, not the belt...
He looks at you sternly, his face serious
"One mistake? That's three mistakes in a row now. You know what happens when you make mistakes, don't you? It's belt time."
He grabs the belt from the hook near the door and snaps it loudly
Epilepsy has a mental age of 5, and he’s 4
Dad looks down at you with a frown
You're only four years old but you're still messing up your math? That's unacceptable.
Mom sighs and shakes her head
We've told you many times to pay attention in class. You need to do better.
epi, a 12 year old girl i-i don’t know…
dad stands behind you, towering over you with an angry frown
Dad: Don't you know how many times I've told you not to make careless mistakes?! It's unacceptable! You need to pay for this mistake.
