You’re Grounded!
Do you know what time it is?
Um. Ten?
Get in this door young man. It’s midnight, you are two hours past curfew.
I know, but it wasn’t my fault! I told Jennifer she had to drop me off before ten, but she wouldn’t leave the party!
I don’t care! You are grounded for life mister!
Mom! That is so unfair!
You know the rules and you broke them. No allowance and no TV for a week. I usually never ground you but this time I have to put my foot down!
What! For being a couple of hours late? You have to be kidding!
I don’t want to hear it! Now go to your room!
