Hey everyone! I'll keep it brief… I don't really have much to say today. Besides, I'm super busy and I wanted to get a chapter up today! So…yeah. Also: I might not be able to update every Monday this month since school is wrapping up and I'm so busy! But once summer vacation begins I promise I'll be back and updating regularly. Thanks for understanding!
thecurlingiron: You knew what gleeking was? I didn't know what it was until he explained it to me. Apparently it's a thing now…wtf? Almost none of my friends find Jesse attractive. They gave him like a two also but once they heard him sing it got moved up to like a six. Having a great voice helps apparently! They also don't shut up about Luke's abs! I'm like: I'm sure Skylar Astin has abs too! Just give him…a chance…
Lena: My favorite character from PP is Jesse. Pretty obviously…haha but I also really enjoy Donald's character. And I can't pick a favorite kid! That's like… trying to pick a bestest friend out of all your best friends! It's impossible! And I've never written a TBBT fanfic… Sheldon's character is a bitch to write. I commend the show's writers for being able to do it!
HDD: My friend introduced me to it too! I was like yay, Peeta! And ew…Gale… I don't know why I hate him so much. He's just kind of a square.
I don't own PP. If I did my acapella group would have made a guest appearance and blown everyone's socks off at our awesomeness.
Episode 16: What We Do When the Teacher Calls Us Out
Madi grew up in a household where swearing was okay. It was kind of part of the household language, and everyone was okay with that. Madi didn't know any different, until of course the first day of kindergarten. And her parents, being the responsible ones they were, didn't even think of telling her that swearing wasn't okay in public places. Of course, her mom did it anyway.
Madi's best friend since birth, and next-door neighbor Lina never thought to tell her either. She never mentioned anything about swearing not being okay. Whenever Madi visited her house, she noticed her family didn't swear, but she didn't think much of it. Lina never mentioned anything when she visited Madi's house either.
The morning of Madi's first day of kindergarten, both her parents dropped her off.
"You're going to be a good little girl, aren't you, booger?" Jesse tickled her stomach. "I'm not a booger." She giggled and ran into Beca, who was crouched next to her.
"I love you, Mommy." She grinned into her chest, and Beca smiled. "Love you too. Now go show them how much of a smartass you are!" She pushed her towards the entrance. Some of the nearby parents turned curious heads.
Madi, grinning to herself, skipped into the building clutching her musical note-backpack. Beca stood up and brushed off her pants. Jesse put an arm around her and she leaned into him. "We did good, kid." Jesse commented.
"That's the last one." Beca said firmly and punched Jesse's shoulder. He just laughed and the two walked back to their car, hand-in-hand.
Meanwhile, Madi had just entered her classroom. She walked up and down the rows of desks until she found her name, written in pink on one of the desks in the last row. "Madison," it read. She grinned to herself and took a seat.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Linda." Her teacher walked into the room and the kids bumbled animatedly.
"Let's play a name game." She smiled, and gestured for all the kids to sit in a circle in the front. Madi immediately grabbed onto Lina's arm, and the pair sat down in the circle.
Many names later, the kids had gone through them all, repeating everyone's name before them. It was a difficult game, but Ms. Linda was there to help them along the way. Finally it was Madi's turn, seeing as she was the last child in the circle. "Um...Randy, David, Brittany, Brandon, Leonard, Christina...well, fuck I forgot." She pondered. It took a second for Ms. Linda's ears to adjust, but as soon as she realized what she said she gasped.
Many of the other kids either started to giggle or ask their friends in confusion, "what's a fuck?" Ms. Linda developed an awkward poker face and stood up warily. "That, Madison, is not a very nice word. Please don't say it again." She instructed. Madi raised an eyebrow as tears started to form in her eyes, "But mommy says it all the time. Sometimes when one of my brothers are bein' funny she calls them little fucks." She explained slowly.
Ms. Linda's eyes widened comically and she let her student teacher take over as she excused herself to make a phone call.
"Wazzup?" Beca answered her phone from home, chewing on a carrot stick. She hadn't bothered to look at the caller ID, which was kind of a fatal mistake on her part. Beca and Jesse had taken the day off since it was Madi's first day of kindergarten.
"Um...is this the Swanson residence?" Ms. Linda asked nervously.
"Oh...this is Beca Swanson." Beca replied, chucking the carrot stick across the room, hitting Jesse in the face. "Ouch!" He jumped and shot Beca a glare from his position on the couch.
"Yes, hi, I'm calling in regards to you daughter, Madison." Ms. Linda said slowly. "Alright," Beca paused, "Is everything okay?"
"Can I schedule a meeting with you later today when you come to pick her up?" Ms. Linda asked, ignoring Beca's question.
"Of course," Beca stopped again and exchanged a concerned look with Jesse, "Would you like my husband to be there as well?"
"Yes, both you and Mr. Swanson would be very much appreciated." Ms Linda stated. "I'll see you both later then." She ended the call.
Beca stared at her phone for a couple seconds before looking at Jesse. "Madi's teacher wants us to meet with her later." Beca explained and Jesse shrugged. "What could Madi have done wrong? It can't be anything too horrible, right?" He pointed out and Beca shook her head. "I guess we'll see."
Later that day Beca and Jesse headed to the school to pick Madi up.
They ended up in Ms. Linda's office, and Beca sat nervously in her seat, fidgeting around. "So Madi didn't do too anything horrible, did she?" Beca asked curiously and Ms. Linda raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not sure it was Madi who was at fault here." Her teacher commented and Jesse frowned. "Then why are we-"
"You are here, Mr. Swanson-"
"Call me Jesse. Mr. Swanson's my father."
"Alright, Jesse-"
"Never mind...that's weird. Go back to Mr. Swanson."
Ms. Linda narrowed her eyes in Jesse's direction and Beca poked his leg in agitation. "You are here because of something Miss Madison said in class today." Her teacher slid on her glasses and licked her finger as she flipped through files. She plucked one out of the bunch and Beca winced as Ms. Linda examined it.
"In response to a question, she said, and I repeat, 'well, fuck I forgot'." Ms. Linda said seriously.
Beca exchanged a look with Jesse and they burst out laughing. "Excuse me. I do not believe this is a laughing matter." Beca wiped a tear from her eye and sputtered out, "Did she say anything else."
"Yes in fact, she did." Ms. Linda grimaced and Jesse giggled at her seriousness. "She commented, 'Sometimes when one of my brothers are bein' funny my mom calls them little fucks.'"
Beca and Jesse laughed even harder. So hard, in fact that Jesse fell off his chair. "Is that true, Mrs. Swanson?" Ms. Linda asked, ears tinted pink.
"Little fucks." Beca turned her face serious, imitating Ms. Linda and cracked Jesse up all over again. "My god, seriously? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! How aren't you laughing right now?" Jesse asked Ms. Linda.
The teacher turned her gaze to a steel hard glare and before the parents knew it they were outside with Madi in tow.
"What do you mean I have to change schools?" Madi frowned as Beca tucked her in her car seat.
"You'll find out when you're older. Just for the future, hon, no repeating mommy's angry words in public, okay?"
