I had a idea and I ran with it. Hope you enjoy!

A teenage Charlie stands in the kitchen she wanted to go to a party like all teenagers do at that age but her dad wouldn't let her and her Uncle Ant wasn't being very helpful either.

Dec" Charlie, you are not going to do this party"

Charlie" It's not a party as such, more like studying with no alcohol and no kissing"

Dec sips his coffee and takes Charlie's breakfast plate.

Dec" Charlie, I wasn't born yesterday there is no such thing as a 'study party'"

Charlie" Dadddd!"

Dec" Charlie, I am not going to let my only daughter go to a party with hormonal teenage boys and I should know I was one when I had you"

Charlie" Technically you didn't have me mum did, bet she would let me go"

Dec*sighs* Yeah well she isn't here is she, didn't care enough to help me raise you"

Charlie*sighs*

Ant" Little D, you should listen to your dad, he knows what best for you"

Charlie" Yeah right"

Dec*sighs* Charlie, there is going to be smoking, swearing, drugs and most probably sex"

Charlie" Ewww, dad!"

Dec" Again I was that person sneaking off to a cupboard to have sex"

Charlie*claps her hands over her ears* Dad, please stop talking"

Dec*sighs* I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did"

Ant*bites his lip*

Dec" That came out wrong"

Charlie"No I heard you loud and clear, well this mistake is going her bedroom, and I hate you!"

Charlie then storms out of the room.

Dec" Don't slam your door"

The slamming then echoes through the house and Dec sighs and groans leaning his head on the counter. Ant rounds and stands next to his best mate. He puts an arm around him.

Ant" Hey come on who said raising teenagers was easy"

Dec" I just feel like her mum would know what to do, I mean"

Ant" Yeah but like you said she isn't helping you raise her, she left you and Charlie when she was three"

Dec" I know, I didn't mean she was a mistake"

Ant" I know, look why don't you go and talk to her"

Dec" She won't want to talk to me, I'm the worlds worst dad remember"

Ant" You are not, you are the worlds best dad, you are raising Charlie all on your own, well but that is amazing Dec, she loves you she is just a teenager, at some point she will realise that everything you do for her, is for the best"

The door opens and both here the sound of Stephen and he enters the kitchen.

Stephen" Hey, what's going on?"

Dec" I am the worst dad ever"

Stephen" No you are not, you are the best dad ever"

Ant" That's what I said"

Stephen" What happened?"

Ant" Dec said Charlie couldn't go to a party and she called him the worst dad ever"
