Tales Of Equestria

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville.

Dinky Doo finally finished her homework. At the beginning of the year her grades weren't up to snuff, but now her grades have skyrocketed.

Dinky walked to her mother Derpy, who was reading some of her mail.

"Oh dear!" Derpy groaned, "I've got ANOTHER summons."

Dinky frowned, she hated it when her mother made mistakes.

"What happened Mommy?"

Derpy turned around, "Oh nothing muffin."

Dinky frowned, she hated not being told about important stuff.

"Don't give me THAT!" Dinky normally didn't shout at her mother, but secrets are more trouble than they're worth, "I heard you got another summons and I want to know what it's about NOW!"

Derpy frowned and raised an eyebrow, "Now now muffin, don't use that tone with me."

Dinky sighed, "Then tell me what this summons is all about."

Derpy turned around, crossed her forelegs and said, "No!"

That was the last straw. Dinky began banging her front and fore legs on the ground, "IT'S NOT FAIR MAMMA! YOU NEVER TELL ME ANYTHING! WAAAH!"

Derpy ignored her daughter and went out the door.

"Where do you think YOU'RE going!" Dinky shouted.

"OUT!" Derpy shouted back and slammed the door.

Later that night Dinky crawled into her bed. Then Derpy walked into Dinky's room.

"What do YOU want?" Huffed Dinky.

Derpy lowered her head, "I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. You're right, I should tell you what I've been summoned for."

Derpy crawled into Dinky's bed and wrapped a foreleg around her daughter, "I've been summoned because I smashed somepony's window by mistake."

Dinky looked up at her mother, "Are you going to jail?"

"No muffin, I'll most likely have to pay a fine."

Dinky sighed, "But why wouldn't you tell me?"

Derpy sniffled, "Sorry muffin, I guess I acted out of ageism. Often when a parent goes through something serious the parent doesn't let their child know. But it is wrong; we should ALWAYS let our children know what's going on."

Dinky hugged Derpy, "I love you mamma."

"I love you too muffin."
