Well…; we continued making doughnuts until it was time for lunch, and then we took a break from making doughnuts in order to eat lunch…
And then once we finished eating we were about to begin making doughnuts again when suddenly! the door to the room unlocked and opened, and then a woman stepped into the room and said, “Hello…
My name is officer Rose, and I will be helping you two along with your rehabilitation…” and then Kabe said, “Is officer Skye real or not?…” and then Rose frowned and said, “That’s an odd question…
But, yes…; officer Skye is very real, and she’ll be coming here at some point to collect the doughnuts that you 2 are making…
But I’m not here because of doughnut making, and so let’s proceed with what I’m actually here for…
See, you 2 are here because of your miscreant behavior; and so I’m going to be determining whether you 2 seem to be accomplishing behavioral rehabilitation or not…
And so can you both please explain to me why I should believe that you 2 will be able to avoid behaving like a couple of miscreants in the future?…” and then I said, “Nobody ever even explained to us what the miscreant behavior that we supposedly did was!…” and then Kabe nodded and said, “And so perhaps you can just determine that there was a misunderstanding that happened in this situation?…” and then “officer” Rose said, “I could head over to the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper and ask him about what miscreant behavior you 2 have engaged in, but your rehabilitation will be more likely to proceed at a faster pace if you just tell me yourselves instead of forcing me to play detective in this situation…” and then Kabe said, “So it’s the ‘ol, “Ya gotta come up with something, you miscreants!” routine, eh?…” and then I said, “That’s what it sounds like…” and then Rose said, “This little attitude that you 2 have is not helping your case…
And so am I going to have to play detective, or are you 2 going to tell me about what miscreant behavior you’ve been engaging in?…” and then I said, “Ummm…
I guess I can probably come up with something if I think about it for a bit…” and then Kabe said, “Yeah…
I mean, we wanna get out of here sooner rather than later, and so I suppose that we’ll just give this a try…” and so then Kabe and I thought for a while…; and then I said, “Aha!…
So; back in the day a friend of mine told me who he had a crush on, and he had only revealed who he had a crush on to me because I had promised to him that I wouldn’t tell anyone who he had a crush on if he were to reveal to me who he had a crush on…; and then I kinda told everyone who he had a crush on…
And so I guess it was kinda messed up that I gave everyone that information even though I’d convinced him to give me that information by promising not to reveal the information to anyone, ya know?…” and then officer Rose said, “Your friend learned a difficult lesson that day…
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
See, your friend learned that every rose has its thorn…; and so in that situation you were metaphorically the rose, and you telling everyone who he had a crush on was metaphorically the thorn!…” and then Kabe did a facepalm and said, “I hate to break it to y’all, but literally EVERYONE spills the beans when they have a friend who tells them who they have a crush on, and so Decker only did what literally every single person who’s ever lived has done when they’ve been in that situation…” and then officer Rose said, “That’s pretty close to being true, Kabe; but it was still miscreant behavior nonetheless…
And so now I’m still waiting for you to reveal what your miscreant behavior was…” and then Kabe said, “Well, I spilled the beans on a friend who had a crush on somebody too, and so I’m just gonna go with that like Decker did…” and then Rose said, “And had you convinced your friend to tell you who they had a crush on by promising that you wouldn’t tell anybody about the crush?…” and then Kabe said, “Oh yeah, I totally did that…; and so it was broken promises and deception and lies all the way through!…” and then Rose said, “And so how can I trust that you 2 won’t be repeating your miscreant ways again in the future?…
Hmmm?…” and then I said, “That’s a tough one, because my friend ended up marrying the person who he’d had a crush on; and so it’s not like what I did had an overall bad impact!…” and then Kabe said, “And the same thing happened with my friend!…
And so when the outcomes were so good in our situations how are we supposed to feel super guilty about what we did?…” and then “officer” Rose said, “Miscreant behavior can sometimes lead to good outcomes, but that doesn’t mean that the miscreant behavior was good…
For example, in some places forced marriages happen; and sometimes the 2 people who were forced to marry each other grow to love each other and have kids who they love with all of their hearts; but it was obviously still evil that those other people forced the 2 of them to marry each other…; and so evil actions do not become good just because those evil actions might lead to good outcomes, because if someone were to say that good outcomes justify evil actions then one would have to argue that forced marriage is sometimes good!; and you 2 aren’t going to be a couple of evil creeps who say that forced marriage is sometimes good, are you?…” and then Kabe said, “Hmmm…
Yeah…; actually, my logic was bad…; and so we can just dispose of that crappy logic…
Though I’ll add that the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper kidnapping us was an evil act too…” and then I said, “And I’m just gonna point out that forced marriage and kidnapping are both significantly worse than what Kabe and I did, and so what do you have to say about the evil actions that the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper has been committing?…” and then “officer” Rose said, “I think that we’ve completed today’s rehabilitation session quite nicely, and so we can discuss this more if we end up doing another session in the future…
Farewell, and best of wishes with the rest of your rehabilitation!…” and then she exited the room and locked the door behind her; and then I said, “Hmph!…
Of course she’d dodge answering questions about the evil acts that her and the rest of her villainous team have been committing!…” and then Kabe said, “Yeah…
What a bunch of malarkey!…” and then the 2 of us grumbled a bit more about the blatant hypocrisy that “officer” Rose had been engaging in, and then we went back to making more doughnuts so that hopefully the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper would end up declaring that we were rehabilitated sooner rather than later…
