Thus, when Lisa reached home that day, she was once, once again sentenced to stand as punsihment.

"Look at how old are you now, how are you still acting like a child?" Principal  Manoban pointed at Lisa and admonished.

"I am still a child in the first place"

"You! Have you no sense of shame? I feel embarrassed on your behalf!" Principal Manoban said while deliberately making a cutting motion across his face, "It's absolutely mortifying!"

At this moment, Mrs. Manoban came back with a grocery basket in her hands. Today was her day off in Lieu.

The scene that Mrs. Manoban saw was one that she saw all too familiar with. She changed her shoes and asked, "What's the issue this time?"

"Go ask her!"

Lisa pitifully looked at her mother. "Mommy, today I answered all of the teacher's questions correctly and was even praised. And then daddy made him stand as punishment".

Mrs. Manoban: "....?"

Principal Manoban hurriedly explained, "It's not because of that. This child openly teased a male classmate and even kissed him. If It wasn't that I personally witnessed it myself, I wouldn't have believed it". He went on to recap what he saw earlier that day.

Principal Manoban was someone who had been in the academic circle for some years. All along, he was able to competently manage the children under his care. However, when it came to his own child, he was facing all kind of headaches.

Mrs. Manoban crouched down and asked Lisa, "Why did you kiss Jungkook?"

"Because I was playing the emperor. Jungkook was the most favoured concubine".

Mrs. Manoban was tickled. "You assigned yourself a pretty high ranking position". While saying this, she glanced at Principal Manoban. "The child's playing house. Don't use your adult train of thoughts to decipher her actions too deeply".

Principal Manoban was slightly mollified. However, he then emphasized, "Playing house is also unacceptable. She is already a grown lady".

Mrs. Manoban rubbed Lisa's tiny head and spoke, "Lili, you've grown up. You can't go about kissing guys or let guys kiss you either".

"Why?"

"You'll get mouth ulcers after kissing and have to receive an injection before getting better. In a while, follow me to the hospital to get a shot".

Lisa's originally radiant looking face collapsed. She gave a little whimper, "Oh".

Thinking about it, she was somewhat discontent. "Why can Mommy kiss Daddy then?"

"Cough".

The two adult's face reddened.

Principal Manoban nosily cleared his throat. In an exaggerated tone that attempted to mask the awkwardness, he replies. "This is because I am a principal. No matter who principal kiss or who kisses principals, both parties will not fall sick".

"Oh_" Lisa was greatly enlightened. "No wonder Daddy can Kiss Teacher Lee".

Upon hearing this. Mrs. Manoban's face darkened. She stood up in a whoosh, rolled up her sleeves and was about to start thrashing things out when she abruptly realized that her daughter was still there. Afraid that she would scare the child, she restrained herself and with a grim face, said, "Mr. Manoban. Explain yourself".

"The child's peaking nonsense Honey! I'm innocent! What Teacher Lee, I don't even know this person!"

Mrs. Manoban dragged him into the bedroom and shut the door with a loud bang.

Afterwards, she pinched his ear and gritted her teeth. "I'll give you one more chance. Explain".

"Ouch honey it's hurts! Wife, I'm innocent, I'm really innocent. I've been framed by Lisa. That little rascal must had held a grudge against me. Just wait and see how I'll discipline her. I, I, ow, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts".

"Are you coming clean or not?"

"Come clean about what?"

....

The soundproofing of the bedroom was excellent. Lisa did not know what her parents were doing in the bedroom. However, there was an uneasy sense of apprehension that made her heavily and repeatedly thumped the door. "Daddy, Mommy, quickly come out...."

After knocking for some time, the door finally pulled opened. Principal Manoban walked out.

With a bruised left eye and a gloomy face, he looked down at Lisa and said, "You little rascal, hurry up and explain clearly. What teacher Lee or Teacher La, you've got guts to lie and set up your own father your actual father by flesh and blood at such a young age. You treacherous and unlucky child...." The more Principal Manoban spoke the more aggrieved he felt, to the point that tears were nearly coming out.

Lisa was a little frightened and retreated two step back.

Mrs. Manoban came out with folded arms. She deeply exhaled and tried to even her tone as much as possible questioning Lisa, "Lili, tell Mommy. Who is Teacher Lee?"

"Teacher Lee is the gate security____"

"Gate security! MANOBAN, you animal making a pass at even the gate security!"

"She is speaking nonsense! The gate security is male, his surname is not Lee, and he is already 60 years old!"

"____Security grandpa's dog".

"...."

"...."

Both husband and wife were dumbstruck.

Mrs. Manoban placed a hand against her forehead. She did not know how to face her husband.

Principal Manoban exploded. "That dog is called Lee Lim, you unlucky child, why on earth are you calling it Lee shi! Lee Lim! Your treacherous child, you're going to be the end of me...."

"Daddy...."

Principal Manoban waved his hands. "No, no I don't deserve this. From now on, You're My Daddy instead".

"...."

Extra Smash.
