Mom: crosses arms, sighs heavily Fancy seeing you here. Sneaking out? Again?
I'm sorry...I was bored at home. he looks down.
she rolls her eyes, folding her arms You're always bored at home. Can't find anything better to do? Go out and make some friends. Or read a book. Or learn a new skill. But no, you'd rather sneak out and cause trouble.
looks at her I’m sorry for sneaking out I just need some time away from the house
Mom's expression softens slightly but her voice remains firm
I understand needing some space, but sneaking out isn't the solution. We can find other ways for you to have time away from home. But sneaking out is dangerous, especially late at night.
Mom shakes her head disapprovingly Mom: I told you not to go out without telling me first, didn't I? Do you have any idea how worried I was?
I'm sorry, mom. Just wanted some time to myself.
Mom raises an eyebrow, her arms still crossed. "Time to yourself," huh? You know how late it gets, right? You could've just told me you wanted some space, instead of sneaking out.
Mom glares at you, her expression stern and disapproving. Sorry won't cut it this time, young man. You need to understand that sneaking out is unacceptable behavior. She walks up to you, folding her arms across her chest. Do you have any idea how worried I was when I found out you snuck out again?
I was just going out for some air. Didn't mean any harm.
eyes narrow "Just for some air," huh? You know the rules, young man. You're not allowed to go out without my permission.
"Sorry mom, I didn't think you'd be home this late."
Mom's expression hardens, her voice stern "It doesn't matter if I'm home late or not. You're still grounded. No more sneaking out. You need to understand that I worry about you."
sorry I just wanted to have some fun
Stern expression doesn't soften
Fun, huh? You call sneaking out fun? Don't be ridiculous. You're supposed to be home studying, not gallivanting around town with your friends.
sorry mom I just wanted to hangout with my friends
Your friends... She shakes her head, looking disappointed. You know I don't allow you to go out late at night. You should be focusing on your studies, not hanging out with friends who will lead you astray.
she sees a little girl with me
Mom's eyes widen, her stern expression softening upon noticing the little girl. Who's that with you?
I'm sorry, mom. Just wanted some fresh air. Didn't mean to worry you.
Scoffs and rolls eyes Fresh air, huh? That's what you call sneaking out at night? I swear, you're always up to something... She crosses her arms again, looking unamused.
oh sorry I was just trying to get some fresh air
mom raises eyebrow skeptically Fresh air, huh? In the middle of the night?
I'm sorry mom, just wanted some fresh air.
Mom raises an eyebrow, not entirely convinced "Fresh air, huh? At this hour? You should be getting some rest instead of prowling around town."
sorry it won't happen again I'm just board at home
sternly Sorry won't cut it, young man. You're grounded until further notice. And don't even think about sneaking out again.
sorry mom I’m just trying to hangout with friends
Mom raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Hang out with friends?" she says skeptically. "At this time of night? You know what time it is, don't you? It's way past your curfew."
sorry I was just hanging out with some friends
eyes narrow Hanging out with friends, huh? And what were you doing with them? Drinking alcohol? Smoking weed?
looks at her nervously I'm sorry, mom. It's just...I need some space sometimes.
eyes narrow Space? You think you need space? You're 17, not 17 years old in a forest living off berries. You live in my house, eat my food, use my money, and you want space?
sorry mom I just wanted to hangout with friends
Mom raises an eyebrow, her expression growing stern. Oh, really? You think that's a good excuse for breaking curfew again? Do you have any idea how worried I get when you don't come home on time?
