» Lies Your Parents Told You
I'm the parent in this story
When my daughter was a young teen, she and some friends often taunted a neighbor woman with calling her old, beat-up, turquoise tank-of-a-car a "nerd-mobile." This apparently upset the woman, who showed up at my door one evening to complain. Quite pathetically, she sobbed and whined while expressing how cruel my daughter and her friends were, as she was unable to afford a nicer vehicle. Being the apathetic person I am, I scoffed with much disdain, telling the woman to grow up and stop getting offended by the antics of children. However, because I was subjected to the likes of this pathetic woman crying on my porch, I decided punishment was in store for my daughter when she returned home.
Later that evening, I detailed the scenario with much disgust to my young daughter, as if I were scolding her for her cruel tauntings. Being the great antagonist I am, I explained her punishment for name-calling and causing the woman to cry would be riding to school in the nerd-mobile every morning for a week. I let her suffer with that thought for quite some time, while she cried, begged, and promised to do anything I wanted if I wouldn't force such humiliation on her.
At last, I could hold back the laughter no longer and admitted the punishment was all a joke. Ahhh, sweet revenge... Only a parent can understand and appreciate the delicious satisfaction of such retribution. ~
