One of the funniest gals I know relayed this story about her son who is following in her comic footsteps...much to his demise in this instance:
The family of four is on a 5-minute drive to a nearby restaurant for a Valentine's Day dinner. Starting on minute one, the 4-year old son starts talking back to his father and just being disrespectful, in general. By minute four, approaching the restaurant parking lot, the dad has had it.
Dad: That's enough, Jack. No more talking back. If you say one more word, I'm going to turn this car around and take you home, and there will be no Valentine's Day dinner for you.
Jack: Thinks for a moment. Then, yells, "A!"
Dad: Turns the car abruptly and begins to head back towards home. "You are done! I am bringing you home."
Jack: But Dad! I only said "A!" That's not a word, it's only a letter!
Poor Jack--he couldn't resist that passive aggressive little dig at his dad, even at the known risk of losing dinner at his favorite restaurant. Classic Level 5 Self-depreciation!!
