Look what you’ve done. Look at it.

Don’t pretend you don’t know what that is. You know exactly what it is.

That is exactly what it looks like, and you knew exactly what you were doing.

Don’t laugh. It’s not funny.

How many times? How many times have you been told not to do this? And yet, there it is, yet again. Just look at it. Take a long hard look at that and ask yourself: “is that what I am? Is that what I want my life to be?”

You should be ashamed.

Look at everything you’ve been given, how hard we’ve worked for you, and this is how you repay us?

You’ve had everything you could ever want and yet all you seem to want to do is humiliate us.

If this were the first time, maybe it wouldn’t be such a big deal. But it’s not the first time, is it? It’s not even the second time. This is third time. The third time. Why? Why would you do this?

Perhaps we’ve failed. Perhaps we’ve failed you, and this is why you act out like you do. Who fucking knows, anymore?

Do you ever stop and wonder where you’re headed? Because it’s not pretty, and you’ll think back to now and wish you’d listened.

Well you know what? There’ll be no more tax cuts for you, and you’re going to have a lot more work to do from now on, because there’s two referenda coming and they’re going to need your attention.

No, sorry, that’s not negotiable. You don’t have a choice. That’s a bottom line.

Now go to your room for three weeks while we talk about what we’re going to do with you.
