Sort off off-topic. Quite a few years back, Hubby and I went to a talk by one of the last surviving Red Tails. The kids were fascinated by the fact that Blacks and whites were kept separate, among other things. The Red Tail mentioned that they were grounded for infractions, and one little girl raised her hand to ask, “How do you ground a grownup?”
A friend of mine tells a story about how, as a teenager, she and some friends conspired to sneak off to a hockey game—in Montreal! Each girl told her parents that they were staying at one of the other girl’s house that night.
At the game in Montreal, one of the announcers was interviewing fans live on radio during half time. He zeroed in on three cute young ladies. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my friend’s father was driving in his car listening to the game. When he heard his daughter being interviewed in Montreal, he nearly drove his car off the road!
My friend, now in her sixties, claims that her period of grounding ends sometime next year.

I see Danae prefers to serve her time consecutively instead of concurrently. Maybe she should ask Jeffrey for some math lessons.

Daddy should invest in an electronic message board that counts down the days remaining.

If he has the date marked on the calendar you’re grounded until July 11, 2026.

and it doesn’t have to be a big adventure. It can be something like randomly changing the future of all mankind… We’ll start after dessert.

Apparently, the lesson learned from the time out didn’t last as long as the time out.

Lucy still remembers Tonto’s line from the old Lone Ranger joke:
“What you mean “WE”, Paleface?"
