(It starts with me coming into the Loud House)

Me: (to the viewers) Today is the Loud Parents's anniversary. And I bet the LKs are all making great gifts. I wonder what Lincoln is making.

(I come into the Loud kitchen where Lincoln is making something.)

Me: Hey Lincoln, how’s the gift coming along, what are you making?

Lincoln: Well, Nolan, The key to the perfect anniversary present for your parents is simple: know your audience. And since my folks love what I bring to the table, I make them the same thing every year: this awesome coffee mug!" [raises a "coffee mug" which doesn't look complete.]

Me: Oooooh. Nice use of clay. I’m sure your parents are gonna love it.

Lori: "Coffee mug? I thought it was a paperweight."

Was it really that hard to do? He tried taking a picture of you, and you couldn't just hold still? Also, Lincoln wasn't trying to change you girls, he just wanted to give your mom and dad a gift they would love for once. Or should I remind you of the coffee mugs again. I'm sure Lincoln didn't mean what he said about the other picture, but I'll let him speak for himself about that. My point is, you girls really gave Lincoln a hard time today, and for what? Giving your parents bad gift? Trying to give his parents a better gift? Put yourself in in Lincoln's place. Imagine if you parents didn't like your previous gifts. Then you were made fun for those gifts, then you try  to give your parents a better gift, then get each other involved but you aren't co-operating with each other. How would you feel?
