The 'Rules of my Mummy' seem to be at the forefront of her mind and woe betide any adult that breaks them. Innocent man that steps over the yellow 'do not stand over' line at a train station? My girl will ensure you will never make that mistake again by shouting at the top of her lungs to all who are listening "look at that man Mummy. He is standing over the line Mummy. He's a naughty naughty man Mummy!". No man wants to be called a 'naughty man' in this day and age. He won't be making that mistake again. And will ensure all future public transport rules are adhered too.
Lady who was happily crossing the road minding her own business. You broke the ULTIMATE Mummy rule. You. Gasp. Dared to cross the road. When the green man wasn't showing!!!!!!! The girl was quite lenient on you. She didn't shout this time. You weren't called naughty. Oh no. However as we walked behind you down to the high street. She enjoyed telling passerbys about your crime. Random strangers now know you as the lady that broke the basic 'crossing the road on green' rules.
My daughter does this, why are children so loud?!!
ReplyDeleteSO LOUD! xxx
DeleteEek, I've had that embarrassment too, a few people have been told off for crossing when the red man is there. I guess because we spend so long drumming it into them, making the point, they think it's a big deal?
ReplyDeleteI was secretly quite pleased she seems to be listening to me! xxx
DeleteBrilliant. Love it. I'm looking forward to my son doing the same! #Wotsofunee
ReplyDeleteOh and he defo will! xxx
DeleteI was once told off by my toddler when we cross the street when the red man is still on =P

At least they pay attention to us. Sometimes I swear she's not listening xxx
DeleteI think shame is a vastly underrated punishment tool. No need for monitoring or prisons, shame by toddler - love it!
ReplyDeleteIt should be used on all crimes! xxx
