INSULT UPON INSULT
A five-year-old girl was visiting her grandparents. She was an unruly child and showed very little respect for her grandparents. After yet another embarrassing episode with her grandmother, her humiliated mother sought to discipline the girl. Her mother said, “How dare you treat your grandmother like that; you wouldn’t treat your other grandmother like that would you?” The little girl immediately changed her expression and became very serious. She looked up at her mother and innocently answered her: “Oh, no, mother! I would never treat HER that way. She’s too nice for that!”Adapted from a submission by Peter K.
