It was absolute chaos trying to figure out what happened here, what the Speaker did wrong, and why so many people were angry, especially the SNP. Can someone explain like I’m five? Thanks in advance.

The whole family gathers for dinner every Saturday. Dad does the cooking. Normally, Grandpa chooses what the family is going to eat. Mom gets to choose for 17 Saturdays every year. But 3 Saturdays a year are Kid Days, where the kids get to decide what the whole family eats.
This Kid Day, the kids went “we want beef burgers!”. But Mom is on a health food kick and is worried that all of her work friends would mock her for breaking her diet, and convinces Dad to cook lean chicken burgers and salad instead. Kids are understandably disappointed and frustrated because that’s not the spirit of Kid Day. Mom tries to spin it as “it’s a compromise! this way everyone is happy!”. Dad only went along with it because Mom would be angry at him otherwise. Grandpa leaves the room entirely because he never wanted to eat burgers in the first place, but lies and says that he’s doing it to protest the decision.
When someone at Mom’s work points out how unfair this seems, Mom argues, “well the kids knew I was on a diet, so they were just being bratty pests by choosing something like burgers. They forced me to change it.” Meanwhile, Dad is apologising because now his kids are angry at him for going along with it, and don’t trust him not to do the same thing at a future Kid Day.
