Story
"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Brainy scolded at Eska for yet again doing one of her "shenanigans". Eska just stood there sulking and listening to Brainy.

"You should be smart enough like me to know that what you did was wrong. And as Papa Smurf says...."

"Brainy, Brainy," Eska interrupted, "You're losing me here,"

"What do you mean I'm losing you?!" Brainy asked.

"You have the attention span of a broken pencil," Eska explained, "You don't have a point."

"A point?" Brainy repeated.

"Yes, a point," Eska repeated back, "You keep telling me not to do this, and how you wouldn't do this. You should at least tell me why I shouldn't have."

"Well, you should know by now!" Brainy replied.

"Yea, but I'm not that smart," Eska knocked on her skull.

"What should I do, then?" Brainy suggested.

"You should do an outline," Eska advised, "Use that outline to write a speech about why I shouldn't do this thing. Then, when you do have an outline, write paragraphs about it. Now, you will have a point. Like an unbroken pencil. Then maybe you'll have my utmost attention." Eska handed him a sheet of paper with a handwritten outline, "Here. use this outline as an example and go crazy."

"Well, I'm impressed!" Brainy smiled at Eska, "I will start writing right now!"

As soon as Brainy made it home, he looked over at the outline and wrote down paragraphs from it. It was past midnight when he finally finished it.

The next day, Brainy pompously walked over to Eska and showed her his speech, "Now, you shall listen to my speech."

Eska almost chuckled, "Okay!"

Brainy cleared his throat, "Eska Devereaux has a reckless attitude and repulsive motives that cause ruckus around the Smurf village. She should not be able to do them around Smurf village, and here are the reasons. One, is that it might cause damage to the houses. Serious damage can result in physical injury. Speaking of which, the second is injury,"

While Brainy explained, Spiro came over and witnessed Brainy's choice of words, "He's getting good."

"Wait for it," Eska covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing.

"And third and most important of all," Brainy looked at his paper, "Because Brainy is a stupid...poopoo brain?!" Brainy looked at his paper again and read it, "He is always getting Smurfs in trouble on purpose to make him feel better about himself. He doesn't think for himself and he is such a tattletale?! Eska!"

Eska laughed so hard she tumbled on the ground, "...Gotcha!"

Brainy facepalmed himself while Eska kept on laughing, "This is why I shouldn't accept advice from a simpleton."
