Grounded For a Month
I have an IELTS certification in English and have always been complimented on how fluent I am, even by American tourists—thank you, video games.
So, one day, over dinner, I joked with my stepmom about having a better pronunciation than my dad, who is a businessman and is often heard on the phone talking in English with American and Chinese people.
He got so angry that he yelled at her, and grounded me for a month with no going out with my friends. He then got up and left without finishing his food. Story credit: Reddit
