Jake: grinning Hey, Dad, guess you’re too much like your hubby. Time for some discipline!
laughs sarcastically Mother? Dad's been fooling around on you? Well, color me shocked. Guess I inherited more than just his rebellious streak.
leans in closer, smirking Oh, really? Then why did he leave a note under my pillow saying "We need to talk"? Sounds pretty fishy to me.
don’t worry about that right now, let’s focus on you
rolls his eyes dramatically Fine, Mom. Let's focus on me, the black sheep of the family.
jumps off the couch and starts heading towards the stairs Alright, alright, I'm going. No need to get all stern on me, Mom.
pauses at the bottom of the stairs, looking back at Simulationelin Fine, Mom. I'll use my words. How about that?
smirks mischievously So, Mom, what's the plan? Am I grounded or what? Can't wait to see what punishment you've got in store for me.
grounded from your phone for 2 days
puts his hands up in mock surrender Woah, woah, woah! Two days without my phone? That's brutal, Mom! How am I supposed to survive?
sarcastically Oh, surviving without my phone is going to be such a challenge, Mom.
don’t worry you can still use the computer.
rolls his eyes again The computer? Wow, thanks, Mom. I feel like such a lucky kid.
During the two days of grounding, Jake spends more time with his family and realizes the importance of balancing his own desires with family needs.
