Anna-Kat: (comes downstairs, smells the pie and gags) that’s disgusting. (Continues gagging)

Anna-Kat: (screams and starts crying because Katie and Greg took her ponies away)

Katie: (clears throat)

Anna-Kat: someone stole my ponies.

Greg: actually sweetie, mommy and daddy stole your ponies.

Anna-Kat: why would you do that?

Greg: we want to show you how it feels when someone takes something away from you that’s important. How do you feel?

Anna-Kat: it feels awful.

Katie: it sure does.

Anna-Kat: I’m never stealing again.

(Katie and Greg high five)

Anna-Kat: now I wanna return everything.

Greg: everything?

Anna-Kat: mm-hmm. (Shows her the box of her toys)

Anna-Kat: (crying)

Katie: (comes upstairs to Anna-Kat’s room, rubs her back and hugs her while Anna-Kat is still crying)

Anna-Kat: I don’t like when my ponies are tooken away. (Sniffles) it’s not fair. (Crying)

Katie: aw my baby I know. (Hugs Anna-Kat and rubs her back while Anna-Kat is still crying) but don’t worry. I’ll give them back to you when you learn your lesson not to take something away from a friend of yours. And I know it’s very upsetting and sad and I know it’s ok but you. You are doing something wrong. And your crying because you got yourself in trouble. You are the one. You.

Anna-Kat: (still crying) I know but it’s never fair what I wanna do. It’s because I just want my ponies back and I like and love them so much. (Continues crying)

Katie: aw my baby, It’s ok. I know. (Both hug and rubs Anna-Kat’s back while Anna-Kat is still crying) But listen, I love you so much. And you are my hero. I’m always your hero. I just want you to be a good kid. And I know it’s upset but it’s ok because your crying and I know. Do you need to cry some more?

Anna-Kat: uh-huh. (Continues crying when she has her hands in her eyes, wipes away her tears and goes on Katie’s arms)

Katie: aw (rubs Anna-Kat’s back while Anna-Kat is still crying and wiping away her tears for an hour) listen, I love you so much and no matter what, I will always love you so much and you make me feel like a good mother right now to you.

Katie narrating: when I steal her beloved ponies or stuffed animals away, Anna-Kat starts crying because she gets in so much trouble and she doesn’t want to do her homework.

Anna-Kat: I wish I would have my ponies, my stuffed animals and my electronics back. I just want them back now. (Continues crying)

Katie: I know it’s sad because of this but listen. (Both hug and rub each other’s backs during it while Anna-Kat is still crying) (says this paragraph during the hug) I know. Come in my room so I wanna show you were they are. (Her and Anna-Kat go in Katie’s room to see Anna-Kat’s stuff) here. Everything is in my dresser because you don’t listen to me sometimes and it has to happen. Maybe you need to lose your stuff for a week.

Anna-Kat: (gasps sadly and cries more)

Katie: I know my favorite person I know. (Both hug and rub each other’s backs during it) (says this paragraph during the hug) I know baby. It’s ok.

Anna-Kat: (Continues crying)

Katie: I know. Do you want me to sleep in your room with you tonight?

Anna-Kat: uh-huh. (Continues crying)

Katie: I know. I’ll sleep with you in your bedroom tonight and we’ll have a little privacy in your room for tonight just you and me.

Anna-Kat: ok mama. (Continues crying)

Katie: I know. (Both hug and Katie rubs Anna-Kat’s back during the hug while Anna-Kat is still crying tears of sadness because she lost her stuff for a week)

Sonny: so she stole the candlestick we heard.

Angela: yeah and now she wants to lie to Katie about this? What the hell man.

Elizabeth: I know.

Sam: I can’t believe she lied to Katie about a candlestick.

Sonny: well yeah so she failed the test about the lie and now she lied all day.

Jason: what kind of kid lies to her mother? Her stealing a candlestick and now she wants to lie to Katie? Why does Anna-Kat do this? Is this because her ponies and stuffed animals were token away?

Sonny: yeah.

Dwight: she’s sometimes an idiot.

Angela: I agree Dwight. I agree.

Creed: this is why we (bleep) ourselves.

Sonny: guys focus. If she was Katie and she had sex with Greg, then she could’ve been cheating on him when she met me and I could’ve been having sex.

Jason: could’ve been. Especially when my fiancé lied to me for seven months last year.

Carly: I remember.

Elizabeth: look I’m sorry that I lied to you.

Jason: I know you’re sorry but you can’t lie to me. That’s unacceptable and sexually faithful.

Katie: (goes downstairs)

Sonny: so we thought of Anna-Kat. Here are the results.

Katie: (reads the results) she failed the test?

Sonny: yeah. She did steal the candlestick. She lied to you.

Katie: (gasps and sighs sadly)

Sonny: yeah.

Katie: I can’t believe my 7 year old lied to me about it. If she was me, she could’ve had sex with Greg and cheated on him for another twenty bucks.

Taylor: (takes a picture of herself on her phone and posts it on Instagram)

Katie: what are you doing?

Taylor: I took a picture of myself and posted it on Instagram. Like my post. (Walks away)

Katie: (offended)

Katie narrating: how am I gonna stop Taylor with her Instagram account? Maybe I should call her friends a liar. Or I should get used to it. Maybe get used to it.

Katie: so I talked to Anna-Kat and it was fine. She was crying for an hour so I hugged her and I rubbed her back.

Greg: huh, sweet. I would try and doing it more good than you.

Katie: you can’t do it better than me Greg.

Taylor: what the hell is this? (Videos the thing about Oliver and his girlfriend)
