When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Bet he won't do that again (the Facebook thing, not the bed wetting, but hopefully that's cleared up, too.)

Her mom told her to change out of her “slutty" shorts. She said no. So her dad cut his jeans to fit in. They went to dinner and mini-golf with his mini shorts.
