Well, once my mom caught me and my sister trying to make a surprise breakfast for her. We had made a huge mess in the kitchen with flour everywhere and eggs broken on the floor. Instead of getting mad, she just laughed and helped us clean up. Then she showed us how to make pancakes properly.
First of all, you need to stay calm. It's a very difficult situation, but panicking won't help. Try to have an honest conversation with your mom. Explain the situation clearly, if there was some innocent misunderstanding, make sure she understands that. For example, if you were just sharing a personal secret or having a close siblings' moment that might have been misinterpreted.
There could be so many scenarios. For instance, if they were cooking something in the kitchen without permission and made a huge mess, the mom would be angry and demand they clean it up. On the other hand, if they were just chatting and giggling in the living room, the mom might have just told them to keep it down a bit so as not to disturb others. Another possibility is that they were playing a prank on someone in the family, and then the mom would have to teach them about respecting others' feelings.
She was very calm when she caught us painting on the walls. Instead of scolding us, she got some paintbrushes and joined us. She said that as long as we were creative in the right place, like on a canvas in the future, it was okay. But we had to clean the wall together afterwards.
When it happened, I was so angry. I saw this kid trying to sneak away with my bikini. I grabbed her by the arm. She was all scared and said she just wanted to try it on because she thought it was so pretty. I didn't want to be too harsh, so I made her promise to never do it again and let her go after getting my bikini back.
My mom didn't have the money at that moment. So she told me that if I helped her with some household chores over the next few weeks, she would save up enough to buy the dress for me. I was disappointed at first but then realized it was a fair deal. So I started helping her out immediately.
If the sister catches mom making up or 'screwing' stories, she could first have a private conversation with her mom. Let her mom know that she noticed and that honesty is important in the family.
Tell the truth right away. If it was just a normal conversation or activity, say it directly. For instance, 'Mom, we were just talking about our school day.'
I'm not sure specifically which 'caught spying on mom story' you are referring to. It could be about a child getting caught while secretly observing their mother, perhaps out of curiosity for her activities or secrets.
Well, it depends on what kind of stories they are. If they are positive and educational, you can show them to your mom and say that your friend has a great talent for writing. For example, 'Mom, look at these stories. My friend has such a vivid imagination and I'm learning a lot from them.'
Tell your mom that sharing your friend's stories is a way of showing support for your friend. You might say 'Mom, I was just so excited about my friend's stories that I wanted to share them.'
