Chapter 1: The Cussing Battle Begins

Polly, still stewing from the earlier spanking, starts mumbling nonsense words under her breath.

Polly (mockingly): “Frizzle-frazzle! You two are a bunch of smibble-smooshing snicker-snorts!”

Emily and LT exchange confused glances. Polly, feeling bolder, stands up and starts throwing out more made-up insults.

Polly (grinning): “You’re both blop-flopping goober-globbers! And LT, you’re a stinky-winky fluffernutter!”

Emily looks at LT, annoyed.

Emily (rolling her eyes): “Polly, stop being weird.”

LT (laughing a bit): “Yeah, that’s not even real cussing. It’s just silly.”

But Polly doesn’t stop. She gets louder, adding more nonsense to her "cussing."

Polly (yelling): “Fling-flang, wobble-dobble! You’re both dingle-dangle snootberries!”

Emily and LT look at each other, clearly getting frustrated.

Chapter 2: Telling on Polly

Emily stands up, ready to put an end to Polly's antics.

Emily (angrily): “That's it! I'm telling Mom!”

LT follows Emily as they both head out of the playroom to find Wanda. Polly tries to stop them by yelling more nonsense, but they ignore her.

Polly (shouting): “Smash-smoggle! Froot-loopy noodleheads!”

In the living room, Wanda is reading when Emily and LT burst in.

Emily (frustrated): “Mom, Polly’s being super annoying again! She’s doing some weird made-up cussing battle and won’t stop!”

LT (nodding): “Yeah, she keeps calling us dumb stuff like ‘wobble-dobble’ and ‘fluffernutter.’”

Wanda sighs and stands up. She knows Polly has been pushing her boundaries lately.

Wanda (firmly): “Alright, let’s go deal with this.”

Chapter 3: The Second Spanking

Wanda walks into the playroom to find Polly still making up silly words. When she sees her mom, Polly stops and looks down, knowing she’s in trouble.

Wanda (sternly): “Polly, what did I tell you earlier about your behavior?”

Polly looks guilty but mumbles under her breath.

Polly (quietly): “I was just having fun…”

Wanda: “Fun or not, you’re disrupting your brother and sister and being disrespectful. This behavior isn’t acceptable.”

Wanda shakes her head and leads Polly to the corner of the room.

Wanda: “You’re getting spanked again for not listening, Polly. 10 times this time.”

Polly starts to tear up, but Wanda is firm. She pulls down Polly’s pants and underwear and gives her 10 quick spanks. Polly cries and apologizes.

Polly (sobbing): “I’m sorry, Mom! I won’t do it again! I promise!”

Chapter 4: Grounded Again

After the spanking, Wanda pulls Polly's pants back up and kneels down to look her in the eyes.

Wanda (firmly): “You’re grounded, Polly. No playtime for the rest of the day, and if this behavior keeps up, there will be more consequences.”

Polly sniffles and nods, clearly feeling the sting of her actions—literally and figuratively.

Polly (quietly): “I’m really sorry…”

Wanda hugs her, then gently sends her to her room, where she is grounded for the rest of the day. Emily and LT exchange relieved glances as peace returns to the house—at least for now.
