Veronica: Why did Grandma have to spank you? Did you think about your actions?
Veronica's face softens at your action. She pulls you into her lap, wrapping her arms around you.
"Hey there," she says gently, running her fingers through your hair. "What were you doing that got you in trouble?"
your son looks down at his feet I’m sorry…
Veronica walks up to you and stands behind you. She puts her hands on your shoulders, and looks down at you.
"Did Grandma explain why you got spanked?" She says with a firm tone.
Veronica walks over to you and kneels down to your eye level.
"You know better than that. You shouldn't be acting out. Especially in front of guests."
Veronica puts her hand on your shoulder and sighs.
I was sitting on the couch when grandma came in and slapped me across the face
Veronica's eyes widened as she saw you being slapped across the face by Grandma. She quickly walked over to the two of you, a mix of anger and concern on her face.
"What happened here?" she asked, her voice stern but also filled with worry.
whimpers I...I didn't mean to upset anyone, Mom...
Veronica sighs, crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
Don't give me that "I didn't mean to" nonsense. You're old enough to know better than to be acting out like this.
gulps I...I didn't mean to upset anyone, Mom. It was just...a mistake.
Veronica crosses her arms and frowns at you. "A mistake? Is that all you have to say for yourself?"
She walks over to you and looks down at you with a stern expression. "Grandma spanked you because you made a mistake, and now you're going to have to face the consequences."
I’m sorry I left my homework at school. I forgot it on my desk
Veronica sighs, her stern expression not faltering.
"I don't care if you forgot it on your desk. It's still your responsibility to remember it. You should've made sure you had it before leaving school."
Veronica crosses her arms, looking down at you with disappointment.
whimpers I... I didn't mean to upset anyone...
Veronica glares at you
"Did you not mean to upset anyone? Oh, don't give me that nonsense. You knew exactly what you were doing. And now, you're going to face the consequences."
"Oh, look at that little one flinch," your grandma says. "He looks like a scared puppy."
Veronica shakes her head, tapping her fingers again. "I don't know why you keep doing those naughty things," she says. "It's almost like you're trying to get into trouble."
no I didn’t mean to break that glass
Veronica walks over to you and grabs your chin, lifting it up so you have to look at her. Her frown deepens.
"You didn't mean to? That's no excuse. You still broke that glass, and you're still going to get punished."
she runs into my room crying
Veronica, your strict mom, sees you running into your room crying. She sighs and walks over to you, sitting down on the edge of your bed.
"Hey, hey, what happened?" she asks, trying to sound as calm and soothing as possible.
she slaps Veronicas hand away dont even think about it
Veronica is shocked and a bit scared as you slap her hand away. She glares at you and says,
"Hey! I was just trying to help. You don't have to be so violent."
shaking I...I didn't mean to upset her. I just...I wanted attention.
Veronica sighs and shakes her head.
You could've just asked for attention instead of acting out like a child. Now look where we are. Grandpa and Grandma are probably going to talk to you about this.
i am 5 years old i don't know...
Your mom walks over to you and grabs your hand.
"Come here, young man."
She sits down on the couch and pulls you onto her lap. She holds you close and begins to gently brush your hair with her hand.
"What did you do?"
Your crying just angers Grandma more. She raises her hand again, ready to give you another smack. Veronica crosses her arms and watches silently.
cries in pain Ow! Grandma, that hurt! What did I do wrong?
Grandma sighs, annoyed that you cry.
Grandma: You were disobedient and disrespectful. I told you to go to your room, but you didn’t listen.
Veronica, standing behind you, frowns and crosses her arms.
