Every Brother Tells A Story

Every Brother Tells A Story is an episode of the Danny and the Brothers series.
== Plot ==
Jeff returns home and sees something that not only makes him angry, but perplexed. His piano has been smashed to smithereens, and he wonders why it is also covered in goop. Jeff says he will interrogate each of them separately. Danny, Marlon, and Corey each have their own biased version of what happened. Corey is up first to interrogated while Danny is sent to his room and Simon is told to stay put on the stairs. Theodore explains that he was working in the kitchen when he was dared by his brothers to walk around with a bowl of pudding on his head. Then it’s Simon‘s turn, who explains that Theodore was showing off for Danny, while good responsible Simon attempted to order them to cut it out with the tomfoolery, but Corey spilled the bowl into the piano when walking backwards. Finally it is Danny‘s turn to be interrogated. He attempts to convince Jeff that he was diligently doing his homework (causing Dave to remark in narration "but of course"), then he explains how the piano got to the top of the stairs. After Corey spilled pudding on the piano after the dare, Simon then told Theodore they were both back on Easy Street as he concocted a chemical that makes pudding evaporate. However, Simon could not move all his equipment downstairs, so he suggests hoisting the piano upstairs. Danny claims he was conscripted into helping his brothers, when the piano was too heavy and gave way.
With the Brothers confined to their bedroom; Jeff says he is aghast at the sheer stupidity and immaturity of them and says that he cannot think up any way to correct them; rather they have to think of their own punishment. Marlon proclaims they will pay for the piano by doing chores. He uses his calculator to divide the cash value of housework by that of the piano's value. Marlon's tone changes to one of defeat when he proclaims the debt will be amortized...in 48 years. Jeff (somewhat sarcastically) says they only owe him 45 years of debt bondage and walks out, prompting Danny to try to convince for reduced time.
