[Music]

hey hello Linda are you doing here

wishing someone else is here to see this

and I left myself with her yesterday

what are you doing home you sick yep got

a nagging pain back here doctor says I

need my sister-in-law removed are you

sure you'll still be able to tour oh hey

Judy you're just in time that you missed

the concert but you can catch the second

show in my nightmares are you guys doing

home we need to have a family discussion

oh okay I'm all yours I mean just the

immediate family p big family secrets

none of my business how come you didn't

answer the phone it called you like five

times I unplugged it I'm sick you are

not sick thanks to you I had to go down

to school and get Lauren she got in

trouble hi Daddy what happened she and

her friends were picking on some girl

they were called into the office and

sent home for the day did you hit

somebody no well they've just been

torturing the poor girl for the past two

weeks by pretending she's invisible

moving into my chest there is nothing

funny about bullying some when i saw

that poor girl in the office and she

seemed pretty upset so she's not

invisible Kathy Gartner's just a big

baby we were always kidding around yeah

well she can find it funny and neither

do I we did not raise you to be a bully

now get up to your room you are grounded

for at least a week no phone no

television no I have a dance on Saturday

not anymore you don't come on this is so

unfair well you should have thought of

that before you start playing worth

Cassie aren't you overreacting just a

little don't let her hear you say that I

want her to go to the dance too but the

school thinks this is serious and you

know what subtle I I think they're

making a big deal out of nothing so she

pretended somebody was invisible my boss

has been doing that to me for 10 years I

got over it back me up on this but if I

don't agree with your punishment

it doesn't matter when we talked to

Lauren we have to show a united front

otherwise she'll play one of us against

the other united front one of us against

the other you thinking what I'm thinking

sick

[Music]

I know you think I'm blowing this out of

proportion but I just feel like I need

to make a point here you know I'm a

victim here q this is going on my

permanent record how am I ever going to

get into a college that will make you

proud play one thing won't be on an

acting scholarship mom you can't keep me

from going to the dance oh honey there

are so many things that can't do sing

fly date other men but I can keep you

from going to that dance this is so

unfair Kathy didn't even seem that upset

you know how Kathy feels junior high is

tough enough without having someone pick

on you how do you know cuz I've had some

first-hand experience with bullies there

was this girl Gina Morelli who used to

pick on me when I was your age oh she

made funny you're here no she wrong with

my hair nothing it's beautiful going Oh

long time ago but the point is it still

bothers me that's why you have to look

at it from the other person's point of

view look I'm really sorry I did it I

swear I learned my life I please go to

the dance no Lauren I'm sorry but once I

give out a punishment it stays otherwise

help you learn anything house is like a

prison tell me about it and then this

joy for 15 years and I still don't know

what I did okay I finished all my

homework and I get all of your tours and

going up to my room oh you're not you're

still being punished now I can't find

the remote so go stand by the TV and

change channels for me know what's wrong

is that I'm watching the view

change change change go back stop are

you sure yeah close your eyes your mom

said no TV come here can't believe mom

won't let me go to the dance well she's

pretty stained I mean I know I did

something wrong and I'm sorry about it

but it seems like I've been punished

enough why do I have to miss the band

look maybe your mom overreacted a little

but it's just because she doesn't want

you to be a bully she's a little

sensitive about that I know she told me

all about Gina Morelli really she told

you about that yeah seems like she's

still really upset about it she should

be she made that poor girl's life hell

wait a minute she made her life hell

yeah for a year Gina Morelli was Gina so

smelly it's like a whole song mom told

me that Tina boys her no yes yes that's

what your mom said that's exactly how it

went down hi honey yeah look who's

trying to sneak a look at the TV now you

get upstairs without talking to your

mother dad told me the truth about Gina

Morelli what you believe her I can't

believe you made me feel bad for you but

it was all a big lie I can't believe you

told her I was the bully if he couldn't

lie to our kids you gotta fill me in i

was not great

oh my god this is not my fault I'm fall

free now if you'll excuse me I have a

sick day to enjoy born this is not about

what I did everything I told you before

was for your own good you overreacted

mom even dad said so huh pal I knew

fault-free could last you told her I

overreacted what happened to our united

front I can wait here longer than you

can do that I can't believe you broke

the United Front me you're the one who

lied to our child what kind of a united

front is that maybe I think we shouldn't

lie to our children you once told the

kids that if they wash the car it would

bring back for dead goldfish father did

the same thing to me so it isn't a lie

it's a family tradition why didn't you

just tell her the truth because you

can't teach a thirteen-year-old a lesson

by telling them you did the same thing

all they hear is my mom did it so I can

do it too besides built this isn't about

a lie this all happened because you

didn't back me up like we agreed we

didn't agree I had no choice you pushed

me into it so you honestly believe that

I'm being too hard on Lord I'm all for

punishing our kids but you've been

looking forward to this dance it's

almost like we're punishing ourselves

that's how I feel if that's all right

with you what are you doing what's

happening here for now I'm your father's

in charge of your punishment I'm done
