Brahm and Treat's 2014 Thanksgiving

Going to Grandma Birou's House
Nicole: "Okay, everybody! Into the van! We're going to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving!"

[The Birou-Jennings family drives to Grandma Birou's house]

Orla/Haidyn/Kayla/Skyla: (singing) "Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go!"

[The family are at Grandma Birou's house for Thanksgiving]

Grandma Birou: "My, isn't this a lovely surprise...How are you, kids?"

Orla: "We are OK. Thanks!"

Nicole: "We are doing fine, Mom."

Brahm and Treat: "HI THERE, YOU SMELLY GRANDMA!"

Grandma Birou: "Oh, I beg your pardon, young men?"

Nicole: (shocked) "Boys!"

[Orla looks embarrassed]

Orla: "I'm really sorry about that Grandma."

Kayla: "Boys, that is not a very polite way to talk to Grandma."

Skyla and Haidyn: "Yeah."

Nicole: "Why don't you boys find something to do while we get Thanksgiving dinner started?"

Thanksgiving Dinner
Nicole: "Okay, everybody. Thanksgiving dinner is served."

[Orla, Kayla, Skyla, Haidyn, Melody, Madeleine and Bianca gather at the table]

[Orla presents her Thanksgiving centerpiece to her family]

Orla: "I made this as a school project."

[in the oven, pecan pies and pumpkin pies are being baked]

[Aunty Lisa is making the coffee]

Aunty Lisa: "Unfortunately, boys, Aunty Carol and Uncle Michael couldn't make it this year."

[Grandma Birou sets the table]

[On the table, we see Smoked-oyster-and-Andouille dressing, green beans with citrus and pecans, Nicole's Orange delight Jello salad, cranberry-pecan chutney, Uncle Michael's best button mushrooms, Goat cheese torta, curried butternut squash soup, Brussels sprouts with ham and caramelized onions, turkey stuffing, browned butter smashed potatoes with butternut squash, Pumpkin cheesecake tart with Honey Swiss Meringue, smoked turkey breast, Herb-roasted turkey legs, roasted cauliflower, honey butter and butternut squash gratin]

[Robert, Uncle Alfred and Uncle Jake are watching Thanksgiving football on TV]

[Brahm and Treat shove their plates all the way down the table and eventually break]

Aunty Lisa: (gasps) "Oh, dear!"

[Treat stabs Kayla in the buttocks with a fork]

Kayla: "Owwie! MOMMY! TREAT STABBED ME WITH A FORK!"

Nicole: "THAT'S IT BOYS! YOU MUST GO TO YOUR RESPECTIVE NAUGHTY PIT FOR 3 MINUTES!"

[Nicole takes the boys by the hand and deposits them to their respective Naughty Pits and spills in 10 red beanbags in each Naughty Pit]

Brahm: "WE HATE YOU!"

Nicole: "That will automatically double your time to 6 minutes."

Treat: "We are gonna pee in our pants, then!"

Nicole: "DON'T YOU DARE!"

[The twins pee their pants]

Nicole: "Now it is a total of 9 minutes, keep this up and it will be 12."

[Treat escapes and pushes Nicole to the table]

Nicole: "THAT WILL MAKE IT 12!"

[Nicole takes Treat back to the Naughty Pit]

[The twins throw beanbags at Nicole]

Nicole: "Now that is 15 minutes! In addition, both of you must go to bed about 1 hour earlier tonight as soon as we get home!"

Treat: "SHUT UP!"

Robert: "What is going on in there?"

[Treat throws Orla's centerpiece to the fireplace]

Orla: "Oh, my god! My centerpiece!"

[Nicole's anger rises]

Nicole: "TREAT TRITON, YOUR TIMEOUT IS A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES! I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY THERE FOR THAT LONG!"

Treat: "SUCK MY (bleep)!"

Nicole: "This language will automatically raise the timeout total to an hour, which is actually 60 minutes. Is that clear?"

Treat: "NO! BECAUSE IT IS TOO LONG!"

Nicole: "MAYBE YOU CAN STAY FOR 75 MINUTES! AND YOUR PIKACHU AND YOSHI PLUSHES ARE NOW IN TOY JAIL ONCE WE GET HOME!"

Robert: "Nicole, what is going on?"

Nicole: "Oh Robert, Brahm and Treat pushed the plates from the table causing them to break, Treat stabbed Kayla's rear end with a fork, the boys peed in their pants and Treat escaped from his Naughty Pit and pushed me to the table. And the boys threw beanbags at me, Treat told me to shut up, threw Orla's centerpiece to the fire and told me to suck my (bleep)!"

[Robert's anger rises]

Robert: "BRAHM ALLEN AND TREAT TRITON JENNINGS! Living room."

[cut to: Living room]

[Robert is calm now]

Robert: "The stuff you see on TV isn't real, and what the two characters are doing to each other are hurting each other. You need to know that actions have consequences. In real life, that cat would not be so lucky. Do you understand?"

Robert: "If you boys carry on like this, somebody could get really hurt, and you don't really want that, do you? Now let's go back into your Naughty Pits because you two still need to complete your time."

[Robert puts the boys back in their respective Naughty Pits]

Robert: "Now you still both need to sit in time-out for a while. Like your mother said, stay in these pits for 75 minutes! And your Pikachu and Yoshi plushes will still be gone for a while once we get home!"

[75 minutes later]

Robert: " "

Brahm: "Sorry, Daddy."

Treat: "Sorry."

Robert: "Thank you, boys."

[Brahm and Treat hug and kiss Robert]

[Robert then brings the boys over to Nicole]

Robert: "And what do you say to your mommy?"

Brahm/Treat: "Sorry, Mommy."

Nicole: "Thank you, boys."

[Brahm and Treat hug and kiss Nicole]

Robert: "Now boys, listen to Daddy. If you start behaving right now, then you could sleep over at Grandma Birou's house. Understand?"

Brahm and Treat: "Yes."

Robert: "But if you don't be good, then "
