Dad: Timmy, you got to your room and think about what you did!
Timmy: Fine! That's where I wanted to go anyway! *does whatever it was again*
Dad: I guess I'll just have to explain to why what you did is wrong. *begins lecture*
Timmy: Oh great a lecture. Dad, you are so boring and old-fashioned!
You'd call one, maybe two, swats on the behind VIOLENCE?
