Ya know we should all take a moment to appreciate the fact that Katherine adopted a teenager and a kindergartener all at once and yet her mom-fu is still at 7th dan levels (9th dan she would have known about the lie at the time).
remembering how Katherine started out as an Introverted closeted shy girl way back when, now she’s full time mom with Master Jedi level parent skills, what a change from then to now
She became a Mom to two orphaned paras. She had to step up and be there for the two of them. Monica gave her a foundation on which to rebuild herself, but Katherine took the final steps because she needed to be there and be whole to support Atsali and Castila. Failure was not an option.
Not at all. If you can think through the problem clearly enough to explain it so a kindergartener understands, then YOU will understand it well enough to to actually learn from your own mistakes.
I think the expression on Mrs. Adler’s face was sufficient. I expect to hear she’s looking for a job. I was wondering if Brandi would be getting involved.
‘Unusual’, sure, considering the ‘usual’ would be a spanking (on a succubus-siren hybrid… yeah, Sali either wouldn’t feel it, or get awkwardly creepily aroused by it), ‘cruel’, not even
I fully appreciate that even though Atsali royally made a mistake, Katherine is still treating her like an adult; too many parents treat their kids like, well…kids…when they fuck up. That reinforces the childish thinking. What she did, though, was make her think like an adult…much better. Hell, she even talked to her like I do mine, “…explain to your sister how and why you fucked up.”
Oh, mom, you’re so hard. Poor Atsali.

And that’s how Katherine became my favourite character.
you never know, maybe she did and saw it as a teachable moment 😀
Gryphon, not grypnon, in the second panel.
I didn’t even notice.
ah hell i’d rather just get a spanking, than explain my actions to a younger sibling.
That’s why it’s a real punishment 😀

That ‘s a cruel and unusual punishment.

That’s why, to truly master a subject, you have to teach it.
Having to explain what comes second nature to you makes you consider new ways to proceed.
Dude, I’m going to start using that punishment on my girls the next time something like this happens.
I was so hoping to see Katherine go to town on mrs. Adler.

Ouch! That is cruel and unusual punishment there, Kath.

Bravo, Paul.
Not how Kath said “… part of your punishment…” which implies there will be more later
Make someone explain is much much more efficient than doing a sermon.
Atsali: “………. When I explain this to Pickle… am I allowed to use the phrase, ‘fucked up’?”
Kath: “NO!”
Atsali: “Checking! Checking!”
In the meantime, Coach Adler will get ripped up one side and down the other (and that’s before a tribunal by the Board of Education)
