In the living room, Mary Test was sitting on the couch. Her father, Hugh Test, was very angry at her because she got suspended from Porkbelly Junior High for three days. "Mary Test, how dare you get suspended from seventh grade at junior high for three days?" Hugh scolded, wagging his finger at her. Mary glared at him. "It's not my fault," she yelled. "Barry Andrews kept throwing his mashed potatoes at me and calling me nasty names!" "And you gave him a black eye and a broken nose." said Hugh. "Who cares?" said Mary. "That's it," shouted Hugh. "You're grounded!" "Now go to your room!" said Hugh.
