Daniel was jolted awake from a nightmare, heart racing as he felt the sting of a spanking from his dad, Isaac.

Sweating and panting, it took him a moment to realize it was all just a bad dream. Frightened by the ordeal, he quickly removed Isaac from his blocked contacts, only to discover his favorite action figure had been banished to the dreaded "time-out" closet! Daniel was devastated!

"Dad, I'm really sorry. Please, don't take it out on my toy, let it be," he pleaded through text.

Isaac replied instantly, "Take care of your mom. If you try any more pranks, next time it'll be you in time-out!"

Feeling guilty, Daniel mumbled, "It wasn't on purpose. I just wanted to save your marriage!"

"Worried about you, Dad. That was some serious laxative prank I pulled, huh?" Daniel tried to lighten the mood.

"Stay away from those pranks, or I'll have to tell your mom," Isaac warned.

Daniel deflated, "Got it."
