Standing in the Corner
I was visiting my uncle’s house and spending time with my older cousins, I was around 5 or so at the time. Older cousin, D for this story, and I were in the basement playing on a console, meanwhile my sister was hanging with a different older cousin who I’ll call N in the upstairs/bedroom area.
At some point, we hear a loud crash. D and I rush upstairs to see what’s going on. My sister and N did the same, and we walked into the kitchen where a glass bowl was shattered on the ground.
My uncle, ignoring the fact that none of us were in the kitchen, proceeds to scream at us and demand someone confesses. We sat there for probably around 10 minutes with no one coming forward.
D tried to reason with their dad that it could have been the dog jumping up to get something on the counter, but he wasn’t having it. Having been fed up with it, I just claimed I did it so everyone else could go back to what they were doing.
For my punishment, I was told to stand in the corner, where I stood for several hours until my mom picked me up. Story credit: Reddit / sorryimindisguise
