No one is capable of more vindictiveness than a teenager.

@Todd: or he might need a few pegs.
Todd Ellner
That could take him down a peg

Yes! This so much. As an autistic former teen, the "you didn't listen" thing is extremely frustrating when the actual reason why an action was wrong isn't provided!

I remember, when my children we young, we had a family rent the home next to ours, and they developed the nickname "The Ferals." My younger kid, a Montessori kid, said, "Their mom always tells them to stop doing stuff that makes her angry, but never tells them what they should do instead, they way you and [Montessori teacher] does." It was a hell of an insight.

Veronica gives Claire the OTHER suitcase so that Marten can be properly disciplined :)

A+ teen slouch from Sam in panel 1.

Should multiple groundings make you underground?

Now see, as a parent, having survived teens, I'd say that she needs to give more guidance. The actual offense here is against privacy and consent. That should be made clear (you can't look through someone's private things without explicit consent.) The 'not waiting and listening' is the follow on: If you don't wait and listen you can't get that consent, and it's wrong to act without it.

Now that Martin is leaving I’m sad to see there will be more shenanigans with him and Sam.

Double grounded is when you're not allowed to leave a place that's much worse than your home. Like a bus station or dentist's waiting room.

Will Marten be taking his guitar to Cubetown?

I think Martin's allowed to be a little vindictive after being thrown under the bus like that.

Being around your siblings automatically reverts you back to your 8-year-old self. I can attest to this. (My sister and I were in our 20s/30s, and we drove our mother crazy with everything we got up to.)

Wait...is Touch of Thumb to Chin a super-move???? I think it might be.
