She smiled seeing Jonah approach with Liza-May, the girl practically bouncing as she collected a plate and a kiss from her mother, before dashing off to take a seat. Jacks pouted at Jonah, giving the man a huff as an answer before attempting to take a plate and follow his sister. Ginny prevented this, removing the plate from his hand and receiving a whine of discontent from her son. "Jacks," She warned - Ginny had no issue with disciplining her kids in public if the moment called for it. "Now I know I raised you to behave better than this and I don't take kindly to being made a liar." She said, staring down her defiant child. "I'm not going to promise you punishment I can't follow up on: there's no room for you to take a time out in but I promise you this, sir, you will regret your decisions if you do not correct them immediately, is that understood?"
There was a moment of doubt in Ginny when Jacks continued to pointedly glare at her, even the nearby Katie and Marta looked more than a little concerned before the boy relented and turned to Jonah, his head down cast. "I am sorry for being rude." He stated simply, remaining silent until Ginny cleared her throat. He boy inhaled deeply before raising his eyes to meet Jonahs. "I'm sorry, Jonah, can I still please help you tomorrow night?"
