Jail Time Janitors

"Wake up darling, wake up" muttered Mr Acton while the triplets sprinkled water on their fainted mothers eyes.
Yes you read correctly fainted.
*Flashback to 10 minutes*
"AAAAHHHHH!!!
DAPHNE MERLIN ACTON AND NATALIE ROBERT ACTON COME DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!"
Both girls froze in the middle of almost scratching each other's eyes out as they heard their mother's enraged voice bellowing down the entire house.
They being them tried to hide under the bed as their father stormed into the room pulling them out by their feet. "Girls you are in big trouble" he said angrily yet pity laced his voice. "Your mother already has a lot on her plate and you guys have outdone her patience this time"
The two girls were about to point fingers at each other but decided against it seeing the stern look on their fathers face. They hurriedly yet cautiously stumbled down the steps approaching their mother who looked as if her hair was on fire.
"YOU BOTH ARE GROUNDED FOR A MILLION YEARS!" She shrieked. The girls, realizing now really how much in trouble they were, started to protest against their dear mothers unfairness. A bunch of 'she started its', 'it's not my faults' and 'ground hers' flew into the air, but Mrs Acton just wasn't going to hear it. She clutched her head trying to reduce the migraine forming in her head. "I'm going to go get an Advil from the kitchen you two stay right here and we can discuss your  punishment right after" Natalie and Daphne felt relief for a second as they were going to get a chance to think of excuses, but alas it did not last because the only thing separating the kitchen from the backyard was a very clear sliding door. They ran to the kitchen to stop their mother from finding out about the horse, but they were too late. A loud shriek followed by a thud reached their ears and next thing you know, they saw their fainted mother lying on the kitchen floor.
*Flashback over*
"Honey come on" pleaded Mr Acton worriedly.
"I'm up, I'm up" sighed Mrs Acton exasperatedly. "Asher you don't have to cry, I'm not dying, I just fainted."
"Oh no no there's just some dust in my eye that's all, I'll go wash them" he muttered and scurried out of the room.
Mrs Acton had forgotten about the girls for a minute so they both tried sneaking away. "Don't even try it" came mums voice. And so they had to sit there listening to a thirty minute lecture about getting along, responsibility, maturity, and some other bogus that went on the top of their heads. In the end, the punishment was that they were grounded for 2 months and so tomorrow they couldn't go to the town festival. Poor Annie was dragged into all of this (a one week grounding) because apparently (mums words) 'she should've made sure that things didn't go out of control' but everyone knew it was only because the parents had to go tomorrow and couldn't leave Daphne and Natalie home alone. On top of the grounding, Mr and Mrs Acton wouldn't call a housekeeper, and Daph and Nat had to clean up the humongous mess they had made. Suffice to say the pranksters were not laughing anymore.
