The talk show

Arthur is going to ask his mom if he is also grounded. He just wants to know. He knows what it is like to be grounded but that was from favoritism. So he is asking her if he is grounded just like D.W. is now. Or if he can play with his friends.

"Mom am i also grounded?" said Arthur, "Just like D.W. is?"

"No of course not Honey," said Mrs. Read, "Why do you think that?"

"Because you did that to me before," said Arthur, "So i was just asking if i was."

"I am sorry for that," said Mrs. Read, "I see how things are now thanks to Dr. Paula."

"So i can go play?" said Arthur, "At the park with them?"

"Go right ahead honey," said Mrs. Read, "Nothing stopping you from doing that."

Arthur went to play with his friends as D.W. was playing in her room alone being grounded. She can play with Kate and Arthur can when he comes back home. She just can't have her friends over so no Bud and Emily just her siblings.

"I Hate being grounded," said D.W., "I want things the way they was."

"Things will be different soon," said Mrs. Read, "So we can treat Arthur and Kate better than we did stuff."

"But i like it the way it was before," said D.W., "You treated me the best."

"That is a problem," said Mrs. Read, "Tomorrow we go to counciling again."

"I hate counciling," said D.W., "It changed you two."

Mrs. Read knows D.W. needs counciling big time. The next day they are going to counciling. Dr. Paula is glad the Read parents are ecoming better parents than before. Arthur talks first as always. To improve his parents more.

"They dragged me and not D.W. to a party," said Arthur, "Even though i got a book it was boring no kids there."

"If you take one kid to the party take all three," said Dr. Paula, "Don't force Arthur against his will."

"Yes ma,am," said Mrs. Read, "We will stop forceing him against his will like that."

"We know better now," said Mr. Read, "Now the matter with D.W. still."

"I am all ears," said Dr. Paula, "We still have the time to talk about it."

They talked about D.W. to her. She will work harder on D.W. than before. See what happens next chapter.
