Chapter 8: Homework Help
Lorraine walks back into the house. She sees the look on Vinny's face.
"What happened?" Lorraine asked him.
"Brian had another one of his attitude problems." Vinny told her.
"Well you deserved it." Lorraine said to him.
"No I didn't." Vinny told her.
"Vinny you told him that you would be there and you weren't yet again." Lorraine said to him.
"I was held up by the figures that Bud sent me." Vinny explained.
"Vinny you should of just told Bud that you'll get it to him tomorrow." Lorraine told him.
"I tried that. He said they had to done and sent back to him by tonight." Vinny told her.
"I thought you were the boss?" Lorraine asked him.
"I am. Even the boss' hands are tied at times." Vinny said to her.
"What did you do when Brian gave you an attitude?" Lorraine then asked him.
"I grounded him for two weeks." Vinny told her.
"That seems fair." Lorraine said to him.
"With no TV, going out except for school, no walkmen and definitely no skateboarding." Vinny told her.
"Okay, that seems harsh." Lorraine said to him.
"Lorraine you know I hate being the bad guy." Vinny told her with a laugh.
"You're not the badperson all the time." Lorraine told him.
"I know.We take turns. And you're too beautiful to be the bad person." Vinny then said to her.
"Don't try to butter me up." Lorraine said to him.
"Who said I was trying to butter you up?" Vinny asked her.
"Vinny we've been married for 18 years. I think I should know by now when you're trying to butter me up." Lorraine replied.
"Okay you got me. But, you can't blame me because you are just so damn hot." Vinny told her.
"It won't work this time." Lorraine told him.
"Yes it will because I know exactlly where you're spot is." Vinny told her.
"Don't even dare." Lorraine warned him.
"Or what?" Vinny asked her.
Vinny gets up and starts to kiss Lorraine she tries to act like it's not having an affect on her. Then Lorraine and Vinny fall on the couch and start making out. Marie walks down the stairs and catches them.
"Ew gross." Marie said to them.
"Vinny get off." Lorraine told him as she pushed him off the couch.
"I love it when you play rough." Vinny told her as he was getting up.
"Not when one of our kids are right there." Lorraine told him.
"Yeah dad show some consideration." Marie said to him.
"You'll be doing this with your boyfriend one day. When you're living on your own because you're not doing this stuff in this house or on this couch." Vinny told her.
Marie shudders and goes back upstairs.
Vinny and Lorraine continue on what they were doing.
"Dad!" Matt yelled from his room.
"Vinny did you not just hear your son?" Lorraine asked him.
"I was hoping I was only thinking he yelled 'Dad'." Vinny replied.
"Dad!" Matt yelled again.
Vinny sighs and goes to Matt's room.
"What is it Matt?" Vinny asked him as he walked into his room.
"Can you help me with my math homework?" Matt asked him.
"Math wasn't my best subject in school." Vinny told him.
"It'ssecond grademath." Matt told him.
"Fine let me take a look at it. It does look pretty easy. I'll help with it." Vinny said to him.
Vinny helps Matt with his math homework. Danny walks in.
"Hey dad, can you help me with my math homework after you're finished helping Matt?" Danny asked him.
"Sure. I'll be there in a few minutes." Vinny told him.
After Vinny helps Matt with his math homework he goes to Danny's room. Danny gives him his math homework. Vinny looks at it for ten minutes.
"When did they start putting letters with the numbers?" Vinny asked him.
"Forget it. I'll go ask mom." Danny said to him as Vinny gave him back his homework.
"Dad can you help me with my homework?" Kate asked him.
"What subject is it?" Vinny asked her.
"Italian." Kate replied.
"That's my best subject. I know that language like the back of my hand." Vinny told her.
"I know that's why I asked you and not mom." Kate told him.
"It's good you know the system. I'll help you with you're Social Studies, English and Italian. All the othet subjects go to your mother." Vinny told her.
"What if I took Spanish instead of Italian?" Kate asked him.
"I would disown you as my child." Vinny told her sarcastically.
"Dad could you be serious for one second?" Kate asked him.
"I would ask your Aunt Sarah if she could help with that subject." Vinny told her.
"Isn't Italian and Spanish the same thing?" Kate asked him.
"Spanish is second hand Italian. The Spanish stole that language from the Italians and called it their own. That's why they sound similar." Vinny explained. (If you get offended by this remark then you didn't read my Freaky Friday fan fic.)
"Aunt Sarah said that Italian and Spanish are the same thing." Kate told him.
"Well your Aunt Sarah is on drugs." Vinny told her.
"Oh god." Kate said as she shook her head.
"I'm only kidding. She really smokes pot." Vinny said to her.
"Dad I need you to be serious for at least ten minutes while you're helping me with my homework." Kate told him.
"Fine. Your Aunt Sarah isn't on drugs or smoking pot. But, she does have a short temper." Vinny told her.
"I agree with you about the short temper but, I don't agree with you about anything else." Kate told him.
"That's my girl." Vinny told her.
Vinny helps Kate with her Italian homework.
