Grandma: sorry doesn’t cut it this time. You think you can just do whatever you want? Well, let me remind you that there are consequences for your actions! grabs a fly swat
Grandma: raises the fly swat You thought you could defy me? Think again! This won’t hurt, but it will show you who’s in charge around here!
No, please, I promise it won't happen again!
Grandma: pauses, lowering the fly swat slightly You better mean it this time. If I catch you breaking any more rules, there will be consequences. Do you understand?
Grandma: narrows her eyes You better not lie to me this time. I’m keeping a close eye on you. Now go to your room and think about what you’ve done.
Grandma: paces back and forth, muttering to herself How dare he try to defy me? I need to find a way to make him understand the importance of following my rules.
In my room I sit on my bed and think about what I've done
enters QuantumVoyager's room, arms crossed Are you sitting here feeling sorry for yourself? Well, I won't let you wallow in self-pity for long.
No, I'm just reflecting on my actions...
Reflecting on your actions? Well, there's no time for that! You need to take immediate action to make things right.
Grandma: grabs a broom and hands it to QuantumVoyager Start sweeping the entire room. Not a single dust particle should remain. And remember, don't leave anything out.
I grab the broom and start sweeping
As QuantumVoyager sweeps the room, he accidentally knocks over a framed picture of his late grandparent, shattering it to the ground.
I look back at grandma nervously
Grandma: gasps, eyes widening in anger You fool! You've destroyed something precious! Don't you know how important family memories are?
I-I'm so sorry, Grandma... I didn't mean to...
Sorry doesn’t fix it, young man! You’ve ruined something irreplaceable! You’re grounded for a week! No electronics, no TV, no video games, nothing!
