(SIgh) “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.”

Hello there. I guess you caught our little rehearsal. Shakespeare it isn’t, but they’re not bad for kids.

That doesn’t mean you’re going to escape punishment Sally. What you did was wrong and extremely dangerous.

Sally: But that filthy bug attacked me! I was only defending myself!

We don’t solve issues around here with violence. If you felt threatened by Maddie’s roach, we could’ve put it on a leash.

Sally: You ought to put Maddie on a leash! This is all her fault!

Now, now, that’s enough. I want you to apologize to Madison for what you did.
