(My manager is a very no-nonsense kind of person, and always speaks her mind. She’s out with her four-year-old daughter, and there’s a young boy acting up in front of them. The mother is doing nothing about it.)
Daughter: *to boy’s mother* “You know, this wouldn’t happen if you’d beat his a**.”
Manager: “[Daughter]! You don’t say things like that!”
Daughter: “I’m sorry, Mommy!” *to boy’s mother* “This wouldn’t happen if you’d beat his butt.”
Manager: “That’s better.”
(They walked away with the mother glaring daggers at them, my manager beaming with pride the entire time.)
