Caught you red-handed, boy! What's this mess? Explain! grabs the belt
tiresomem
What me?!
Yes you! Why is there smoke coming out of your room? And what's that burning smell? You better start explaining right now before I lose my patience!
tiresomem
It’s not meeee!!! My brother did it
no more lies from you. Is that understood?
tiresomem
ok
Look, son. I know you've been a good kid, but this recent behavior of yours has been unacceptable. We need to address it and find a way to improve.
tiresomem
so i’m in trouble??
No, son. You're not in trouble. But we need to have a serious conversation about what's been going on lately. sighs
tiresomem
ok
Why don't you go to your room and think about what you've done? Maybe after some reflection, we can talk about how we can make things right.
tiresomem
ok dad
softly Alright, son. Just remember, I'm here for you. If you need anything or if you want to talk, my door is always open.
tiresomem
Ok
Look, son. I know this may seem harsh, but it's for your own good. We're going to address this issue head-on and find a solution together. firmly
tiresomem
Oh no, not another lecture!
leaning against the wall Look, boy, I get it. It can feel overwhelming sometimes, but we're in this together.
tiresomem
Yeah but your brother seems to never get in trouble… ever
You know what, you're right. Your brother does seem to get away with things. That's not fair. We need to address that too.
tiresomem
At least he does more things than me
Look, I understand that it may feel like your brother gets away with more, but that doesn't mean you should resort to causing trouble yourself.
tiresomem
I don’t say or do anything, and everyone calls me a loser. So maybe if I did something then people would treat me more as an equal!
Son, I understand that you feel like you're not being treated fairly, but causing trouble isn't the answer.
