The Major Punishment Chapter 12

Maria's POV

"How could you let this happen??!" I questioned Harry.

"How could you let this happen?!" He replied.

"I wasn't even here!"

"Oh how convenient (!)" He said sarcastically.

"Harry, do you want your child to become Chief Justice of the supreme Court or a sleezy male stripper??" I asked, rhetorically.

"Can't he be both, like the later Earl Warren?"

"Earl Warren wasn't a stripper!!"

"Now who's being naive (?)"

If you wanna know what we are arguing about, then read the previous chapter.

"Look, if you want your son to become successful in life, you got to discipline him!" I yelled.

"Alright, alright! Next time he does something wrong, I'll punish him and make it stick!" He continued relaxing lazily; staring at the TV with the beer can on his belly. I didn't believe him about punishment thing.

*on the TV*

'Hello, and welcome back to Eyes on Gorton. We are joined by actor John Kennedy later, but first, let us take a look at how the Tom and Jerry series started off. The year was 1936, the year you might of seen All Capone dancing the Chalston on top of a flag pole. Yes, the cartoon started off as a black cat , labelled 'that happy cat'. The film did very poorly... Until the cat was joined with a brown mouse. History was made. A few years later, tom and jerry were teamed together to fight a bigger foe... Hitler. Hehehe, ironically, a huge rat attacked a small cat in Birmingham.'

Harry's POV

"Brock did you look after Mugsy like I asked?" I asked since I couldn't find her.

"Yh, wait where is she?" Bart looked towards where she last was. She was outside, just about to go on the road!

"Oh my Lord!" Maria exclaimed and quickly rushed outside to get her. "Oh my poor baby!" Phew!

"That's it boy! No more chances!" I shouted at Brock. This time I was deadly serious. No joke.

"C'mon harry, this isn't funny." He thought I wasn't being serious. Oh how wrong he was.

"Damn right! Brock.. You can't go to see that tom and jerry movie EVER!" I grabbed his ticket and ripped it up to tiny pieces. Brock groaned.

"Dad, you gotta let me see that movie, can't you just give me a spanking?" He pulled his shorts down and showed my his rear end. "C'mon, go nuts."

"Don't point that thing at me! I said you're not going to the movies and I'm sticking to it!" I said firmly.

"Dad, I agree that Brock should be punished, but the tom and jerry show is a defining moment of our generation. How would you like it if someone said you couldn't watch the moon-landing?"

Hmm, I thought about it and had a little daydream.

*daydream*

*TV*

'There's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'

Dad was sniffling throughout the moon landing. Whilst I was listening to music.

"Yummy yummy yummy, I've got love in my tummy and I feel like loving you...'

*back to present*

"Love, theres nothing sweeter, good enough to eat it.." I opened my eyes and realized the whole family staring at me. Brock was waiting for answer to see if I changed my mind. "Sorry but the punishment stands" I cross my arms over my chest.
