The talk show
Mrs. Read apologized to D.W. for the spanking. D.W. accepted it. Then came next week. They wont bring up the spanking. It might be the last session of counciling. If D.W. agrees not to bug Arthur much at least. If not at all that is.
"D.W. here still bugs me to play with her," said Arthur, "Like she always does when she wants to play with me."
"D.W. like isaid before don't bug him to play with you," said Dr. Paula, "That is called being a pest."
"How else can i get him to play with me?" said D.W., "If i don't bug him?"
"All you have to do is ask," said Dr. Paula, "If he says yes then he will if not then it means no."
"I can do that," said D.W., "I can always use manners."
She is now better behaved. She became a good girl. She is no longer a brat. She knows if she misbehaves she gets grounded. The Read parents are better parents. They treat Arthur and D.W. as equals and Kate when she gets older.
"That is good,"said Dr. Paula, "And you two parents are now better parents."
"That is true," said Mrs. Read, "Does that mean sessions is over?"
"Yes that means they are," said Dr. Paula, "If you need more therpy or counciling call me and make an appointment."
"We will keep that in mind," said Mrs. Read, "Let's go home now."
"Sounds good to me mom," said Arthur, "Glad this worked the way i wanted it."
They went home. The kids are playing now. While the Read parents are making dinner. Arthur will play with D.W. soon just not by force. They no longer force him to do things for her. Arthur is talking with his friends that things went well.
"Glad it worked," said Francine, "It sure helped my family."
"I am glad it all worked out well," said Arthur, "For both our parents."
"It also helped mine," said Binky, "They are no longer helicopter parents."
"I am sure it helped mine," said Muffy, "Now Chip might know for sure."
"Yes it did," said Chip, "They treat us the same."
Things are different now. Their lives just got better. The end.
