Grandpa’s “Golden” Rule

My little cousin is having a major tantrum during a visit to my grandpa’s place. She wasn’t being calmed down by her parents in the slightest.

Grandpa: *To my cousin.* “You wanna try calming down, dear?”

Cousin: “No! I’m p***ed off!”

That was the first time we’d ever heard her say anything like that. The rest of us (including her parents) are a little shocked. Grandpa, for his part, just shrugs.

Grandpa: “Well, it’s better to be p***ed off than p***ed on.”

The little shock from before leads to bigger shock – enough shock for my cousin’s parents to finally take her outside to calm down.

Thanks, Grandpa.
