Getting Told Off

By Betty Briars.

If you like getting into trouble with your Mum, this is my guide on how to infuriate her most effectively.

1) Have a full blown paddy when she's trying to get you dressed.
If she is already late to go out this should really push her to
breaking point.

2) Disliking food she has spent hours peeling and chopping and
blending will cause havoc. Especially if you go the extra mile and
spit it out.

3) Scream blue murder if she sticks you in a United baby grow.
Mine really hates that.

4) Have a keen eye and be ready to pick out opportunities to be awkward.
Cream application, the putting on of socks - all are to be seized upon.

5) Select an activity which happens regularly throughout the day,
nappy changes for example, and centre your kick offs on this.
That way you can routinely wind her up.

6) Always, always, always remember to have a sad face at
the end of your tantrum. Pulling at the heartstrings will combat any
punishment which may have been heading your way.

NB: I would never behave like this. Pictures have been created purely for demonstration purposes.
