A short sleep story wherein I reprimand him and save her

Okay sure. You may be over eighteen. But she is much younger than that. It’s not even close. And she’s not your girl. She’s not with you. So what you’re doing with her is completely inappropriate.

Not to mention the fact that no one had any idea where you were. So this is truly unacceptable. I don’t care how old you are. I’m older and I know better. So you are going to listen to me. You will leave this hotel at once. Never look back. Never try to see her again. And maybe, just maybe, I won’t tell your parents where you are or what you’ve done.

I don’t care if they wouldn’t care. Not only don’t I believe that, but it also doesn’t excuse this. Are you trying to justify what happened here with some excuse about how the lack of parenting and parental love in your childhood has left you now with poor judgement and a need to act out for love and attention?

Shame on you. You should know better.

Yes, you should. You are old enough. You’ve seen enough of the world. Not just because of your age, but because of who you are and what you’ve done. YOU should know better. But she does not. Not yet. Though now I suspect she has a much better idea.

But that’s besides the point. Don’t you dare go saying you did this in order to teach her. Or that you did her a favor. Or that she’s better off this way. That’s a poor excuse for poor behavior. No one ever thanked someone for giving them a better picture of the despicable nature of man, however it may help you become better acquainted with the world.

That’s no excuse.

You don’t see me trying to help her by mistreating her, or neglecting her, or giving her a good smart beating every once in a while. You don’t see me treating her thus and calling it good for her. You should never ever treat someone younger, smaller, or weaker than you with such disrespect, no matter what lesson you’re trying to teach them.

That’s another thing.

It’s not just that she’s younger than you. She’s also smaller and weaker. Sure she seems like she could hold her own, or give you a good row, but you can’t ignore the fact that she is still much smaller and you can do her far more…
