C'mon Threaten Me ...

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amuck. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons.

I told her that if she did not start behaving right now, she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice louder and just as threatening, ''If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'' 

The silence was as deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing! I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.
