Chapter 15: Flashback | Melissa's First Punishment

Melissa was riding in the backseat in her mom's car that Paul got her and her mom to drive Melissa around places. Her mom just picked up Melissa home early from gymnastics and she was pouting because her mom put her in time out because she wanted to watch tv.

Melissa: Mommyyyyyy!!!
Carol: Melissa, be quiet. You're on time out. I can't believe the way you're acting right now young lady, this is not like you
Melissa: she started it!
Carol: I don't care who started it, you could have gotten someone hurt. You don't push someone off the beam
Melissa: she was pulling my hair!
Carol: then you tell the instructor not push her off the beam, she could have gotten hurt! Is that not getting through to you?
Melissa: she deserved it
Carol: well... will see what your father have to say, when we bring you back home
Melissa: nooooo!!!!!
Carol: he's gonna be in the middle of filming so you have to call him Papa J when the cameras are around, do you understand?
Melissa: *frowns* yes ma'am

When they reached home Carol and Melissa walked into the house and Melissa dropped her bag on the floor and went to go run into the kitchen but her mother stopped her.

Carol: what did Denise say about leaving your gymnastics bag on the ground?
Melissa: *pouts* mommy...
Carol: do you want to be put in time out again?
Melissa: *sighs* noooooo!!
Carol: then behave little girl and go do as you're told

Melissa huff and stomp her foot back over to her mom and picked up her gymnastic bag and Carol made her look at her.

Carol: now you stop with the attitude young lady, or you're gonna spend the rest of the night in the guest house in your room
Melissa: yes mommy

Melissa went to put her gymnastic bag away, before heading into the kitchen with her mom, to find the Jonas Family in the kitchen with cameras.

Melissa: Papa J!
Paul: there's my girl!

Melissa runs to him and jumped into his arms and he picked her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek making her giggle.

Paul: how did gymnastic go today?
Melissa: I didn't mean to do it, honest
Paul: *crocks brow* what didn't she mean too?
Carol: your *whispers* "daughter"  *looks around at the camera that was filming Denise and Kevin and Danielle scene.* was acting up in gymnastics class
Paul: let's talk about this in the other room

Paul carries his daughter to the other room and put his daughter on the couch and let her watch cartoons, while him and Carol talked.

Paul: *comes back over and turns off the tv* is it true what your mother just told me?
Melissa: *pouts* daddy!!!! I was watching that
Paul: little girl *gives look*
Melissa: *sighs* yes... but I didn't mean too!!!
Carol: you most certainly did, you told me the reason you pushed her because she pulled on your hair
Melissa: yea because she was being a meanie butt!
Paul: hey! What did I tell you about calling people names
Melissa: but-
Paul: do you want to stand in time out?
Melissa: noooo!!!!
Paul: then listen to me when we are talking to you. No more putting your hands on anyone. If you have a problem with someone, tell an adult
Melissa: *frowns* yes daddy, since I'm not in trouble anymore, may I go back in the kitchen?
Paul: yes but behave, Kevin and Danielle are filming for their show right now
Melissa: yes daddy

Paul picked her up and they walked back into the kitchen and put her down. She went over to Joe and Nick who were talking and gave them both hugs.

Joe: hey kiddo *picks her up* how was gymnastic?
Melissa: it was fine, until a girl in class pulled on my hair
Nick: oh that's not good
Melissa: yea that's why I pushed her off the beam. Mommy and Papa J didn't like that
Joe: because you could have easily hurt someone like that kiddo, don't let it happened again
Melissa: okay Joey, I want a snack. I'm hungry *wiggles her way out of Joe and runs over to Carol* mommy, can I have a snack?
Carol: not now sweetie, it almost dinner time soon
Melissa: but mommy!
Carol: no! Do you want to be put in time out?
Melissa: you're a meanie!
Carol: I guess you do need to be put in time out, come on let's go *picks her up*
Melissa: nooo!!!!!! *kicks her legs*
