Hahaha I love how petty you were. First of all, I NEVER would have served dinner. Everytime whoever was blocking the kitchen it would’ve been their punishment to serve. I would been like if you were an adult and LISTENED & NOT put the chair blocking the kitchen like I’ve asked you HUNDREDS of times, maybe. But since you want to act like a toddler, YTA, and have lost your chair moving privileges. Like a time out for naughty children.
