We called her parents from the gas station.
Why did you call the parents?
It was the only way to get her home on time. We weren't able to convince her.
It's good to keep parents informed of what is going on. Otherwise they may worry.
You're too old to be having children. She's a brat and that's why I called her parents.
Brat or not it's good to make sure her parents know where she is and that she's safe.
