Lawson and the Troublemakers Throw a Dance Party in the Playground Singing Telephone Rock and Get Grounded

In the playground, Lawson and Gelman were bored.

Lawson: I'm bored, I wish there's something I want to do.

Gelman: Me too.

Lawson: Hey! Why don't we throw a party and singing Telephone Rock from Sesame Street!

Gelman: Good idea, Lawson! Let's do it! But first, we need to invite all our friends.

Lawson: That's a good idea.

Then Lawson and Gelman invited all their friends including Mundy, Skeens, Lazy Kid, Sue Bob Murphy, Kurst the Worst, Koreo, Jocko, Buster, Cheay, Chucko Kowalski and Clyde Phillmore.

Lawson: Koreo, send in the DJ Mixer!

Koreo: Yes, Lawson!

Then Koreo sent in the DJ Mixer, and Lawson called to his friends.

Lawson: Hey, Gelman! Are you ready?

Gelman: Yes Lawson!

Lawson: Mundy, are you ready?

Mundy: You bet!

Randall: Hey Menlo! What's that?

Menlo: It must be Lawson and the troublemakers were singing and doing a dance party. That music's loud, isn'it?

Randall: We better tell Miss Finster about this!

In the Ashleys' Clubhouse, the Ashleys were hearing loud music from Lawson's dance party, and up on the Jungle Gym, King Bob, Jordan and Jerome were hearing loud music from Lawson's dance party. Then Randall and Menlo had a complaint to Miss Finster.

Randall: Miss Finster, Lawson and his friends were having a dance party with loud music singing Telephone Rock! Can you stop those troublemakers?

Menlo: I agree, stop them!

Miss Finster heard loud music from Lawson's dance party, and she was furious.

Miss Finster: No no no no no no no no no no! Hey, what's going on? It must be Lawson who was making trouble doing a dance party with loud music! Lawson, turn off the loud music! Turn it off right now! Turn it off right now!

Randall and Menlo started to push away the DJ Mixer.

Lawson: Hey, snitches! Put that DJ Mixer back! Where ya going with this DJ Mixer?

Then Randall hopped onto the DJ Mixer and halted the loud music.

Miss Finster: Nice work, Randall! You and Menlo did a job well done! Here are some cookies for you.

Then Miss Finster gave the cookies to Randall and Menlo.

Randall: Thanks!

Menlo: Thanks!

Miss Finster was furious with Lawson and the other troublemakers.

Miss Finster: Troublemakers! How dare you throw a dance party with loud music in the playground singing Telephone Rock!? You know that song belongs to Little Jerry and the Monotones from Sesame Street! That's it, all of you! Go to Principal Prickly's office right now!

Then Lawson and all the troublemakers went off to Prickly's office, and then they entered it. Principal Prickly was very upset with Lawson and all the troublemakers.

Principal Prickly: Well, I must say, I'm very disappointed in all of you, okay? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Now, I've already called in Lawson's parents, but--

Lawson: [shocked] You called my parents?

Then Lawson's parents came, and they were not looking happy at all, and Mundy was horrified.

Mundy: Uh no, it's Lawson's parents!

Principal Prickly: Thank you all for coming on such short notice.

Lawson's dad: You troublemakers! How dare you throw a dance party in the playground singing Telephone Rock!? That's it!

Lawson's mum: All of you are grounded for a whole month!

Lawson's dad: Erwin, come home now!

Lawson's mum: And other troublemakers, wait for your parents!

Then Lawson went home in disgrace.

Back in Lawson's house, Lawson's parents continued telling their troublemaking son off.

Lawson's dad: Lawson, how dare you throw a dance party in the playground singing Telephone Rock!? You know that song belongs to Little Jerry and the Monotones from Sesame Street! That's it, you are grounded, grounded, grounded for a month with no TV, no computer, no video games, no nothing!

Lawson's mum: Go to your room now!

Lawson's dad: And don't think about going on a computer or watching TV or playing video games!

Lawson went up to his room, crying.

Lawson: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
