So here’s a hypothetical situation for all of you out there.

Let’s say that, hypothetically speaking, you have an older sibling. While this older sibling of yours did not raise you, they have looked out for you for most of your life. This older sibling also eventually became your legal guardian for two years.

And then you fuck up in a sort of big way, but you’re now a legal adult.

In this totally hypothetical situation, would you say it’s messed up if this older sibling of yours grounds you? Like, I mean, come on! You’re a legal adult now! You’re too old to be grounded!

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Plans will be discussed soon... ish.

But don't you think that grounding the younger brother, who is a legal adult,
is a little too much?

It depends on the way the younger brother fucked up, but my parents absolutely grounded me when I was living with them even when I was an adult.

In this hypothetical situation.

Enjoy being grounded, my guy.

THis was a totally hypothetical situation and not actually something that happened!!

Has anyone actually bought that excuse, ever?

I'm pleading the fifth.

That's probably the best thing you can do now, you already dug yourself in this deep.

Digging holes is what I'm about, apparently.

At least you admit it.

Okay, so no longer hypothetically speaking,
but I acknowledged that I fucked up pretty badly.

Shouldn't that account for something?

Sure, it counts for something. But you don't get out of punishment completely just for apologizing.

Those academic counseling sessions were punishment enough.

Your brother didn't get to give those, so they don't count.

they should count for something

Sure they do. They count for people who aren't your brother.
