Vlad learns a lesson

Vlad was over for dinner. He only accepted the invitation to spend more time with Maddie.
"Raising three children must be so easy." Vlad said during dinner.
"Oh, no it isn't, Vlad! Having to deal with broken curfews, broken rules, broken vases," Here, Jack glared at Sarah, who had broken Maddie's least favorite wedding gift.
"Oh, Jack, you aren't still holding that against the sweet girl, are you, now? You know I never liked that vase." Maddie said.
"It was still a wedding gift, and it wouldn't have been broken if she had listened to us and not thrown that baseball."
"Well, broken rules, curfews, and vases aside. it still must be easy, especially in a middle class neighborhood like this."
"I'll tell you what, Vlad. This weekend Jack and I are going on a trip to celebrate our twentieth anniversary. Why don't you stay here and keep an eye on the kids? Jazz will help you, but you'll be in charge. That means feeding, disciplining, and setting down rules- only applicable during this week-end, of course." Maddie said.
"Why, that's a great idea, Maddie-cakes." Jack said.
"That way, we'll know that our kids are being taken good care of by their uncle Vlad!"
Later, when the three kids were upstairs, and the adults were downstairs, Jazz, Danny, and Sarah met in Sarah's room.
"Could you clean up a little in here, little sis?" Jazz asked.
"It's clean enough for me."
"Girls, can we please get back to the subject at hand?" Danny asked.
"Alright, Dan-Dan," Sarah said. "I say we act horribly, just to teach Vlad that raising kids isn't easy."
"Yes!" All three agreed.
"High-five!" Sarah held her hand up to Jazz, who high-fived her. She turned to Danny, who also high-fived her.
"Jazz will probably be in charge of dinner. Danny, you and I will be in charge of coming in late, coming to dinner late, and picking on him about getting a cat."
"You got it planned already? What if Danny has to fight him again?"
"He won't."
"What makes you so sure?"
He'll have to take it seriously if he wants to convince Mom to leave Dad."
"Right." Danny said.
"Mom and Dad will probably make him check your homework." Jazz pointed out.
"True, but do you think he will?"
They heard someone coming up the stairs.
"My homework is in front of my door, and so is where I wrote it down."
"Thank you, Miss Badger. I'll just take it down to your parents. They won't be back until Monday night, so I will have to check it Friday and Monday afternoon."
"Yes, sir. I'll leave it in front of my door."
Vlad took her homework downstairs to show her parents.
"Otherwise, I'll misbehave to show him how wrong he is, thinking it's easy to raise a family."
"I will, too." Danny said.
"You two are young enough to do that. But what will I do?" Jazz asked.
"Be really opionated." Danny suggested.
"Insist that he can't punish us physically because it'll damage our self-esteem, or something." Sarah suggested.
"Good idea."
