When my mom's favorite lamp broke, I had to be there when she was trying to find out how and by who, because I had to defend myself, because if you're not, then the finger is pointed at you, and before you know it, you will be grounded.
Quando o candeeiro preferido da minha mãe se partiu, eu tive que estar presente quando ela tentou descobrir quem  o partira, pois tinha que me defender, caso contrário, seria eu a acusada e seria castigada.
