The context of the following conversation is When his mother was not watching, Kent bent and ruined every single wire in the jewelry-making section of the craft store.:
Kent says Mom took me to the jewelry  store, and when she wasn't looking, I tore up all the wires and stuff in the craft section. hahahaha!.
The friend responds That's mean.  You could get in trouble and you could get your mom in trouble.  She might get arrested..
Kent responds Really?  I hope she gets arrested.  My mom is so mean to me!.
The friend responds Why would you say that?  Your mom is such a nice lady and she gives us ice cream whenever we want it..
Kent responds I don't care about ice cream.  She buys too much earrings and I'm gonna make her get in trouble!.
The friend responds Well ok, then.  I guess you are free to do whatever you want then!.
