Taylor: ugh! (Gets all angry because of Katie who took Taylor’s phone away)

Katie: now we are going to have a nice breakfast all together. And you’re not getting your phone back for a couple minutes.

Taylor: UGH!

Anna-Kat: Ooh Taylor doesn’t get to be on her phone for today. (Giggles) she’s never gonna get her phone back all day today. (Giggles)

Taylor: UGH! (Goes to Anna-Kat’s seat and flips Anna-Kat’s chair and Anna-Kat trips on the floor)

Anna-Kat: (trips to the floor because of Taylor who flipped her chair and screams) ow.

Taylor: does she ever stop annoying me?

Katie: Taylor, you can’t flip Anna-Kat’s chair.

Taylor: but she started it and she annoyed me so I flipped her chair.

Katie: but still, I know she annoys you but you can’t flip her chair.

Anna-Kat: I’m bleeding.

Katie: aw you’re bleeding.

Taylor: (glares at Anna-Kat)

Anna-Kat: I’m sorry Taylor for annoying you.

Taylor: (ignores Anna-Kat)

Anna-Kat: mama she’s not talking to me.

Katie: well probably because you annoyed her after I told her no cell phones so you did annoy Taylor so I think I’m starting to get more strict with you.

Anna-Kat: (gasps sadly) I don’t like it when you get strict.

Katie: well I might so yeah.

Anna-Kat: aw. (Gets sad because Taylor and Oliver aren’t spending time with Anna-Kat)

Katie: yeah.

Greg: I agree.

Oliver: Mom why is Anna-Kat still annoying me about Alice and I?

Katie: well maybe because she wants to annoy you about your dates. And Taylor as well. Maybe Eyo loves you and maybe you love him too.

Taylor: are you crazy? I might love him but please stop talking about that.

Katie: well maybe both of them should come and you both should be telling about that in dinner and we should invite them to dinner.

Taylor and Oliver: are you crazy?
