" Despiertate, mija, it's time to get up.

I'm grounded, remember? I'm staying in bed all day.

We've changed the parameters of your grounding. You're helping us in the restaurant today.

Ay, Mami.

Get up. Here's your San Juanito shirt, all clean and ready to go.

Papi grounded me to my room, you can't just change it.

I don't think you understand how authority works. Now come on, vámonos. The other kids are all asleep, so the shower's free. You've got fifteen minutes.

No human being can shower in fifteen minutes. It's quantifiably impossible.

Sixteen, then. Rápido, or I'll throw a bag of frozen carrots under your blanket. "
