"I want you to finish the work immediately within 5 mins. I had given you half an hour and you were unable to finish your work. This is simply unacceptable. You have another 5 minutes to finish it otherwise you have had it. Is that clear?" This is me trying to be a strict parent to my daughter who was taking more than the usual time to finish her work.
She in turn looked at me with absolute calm expression and said, "You better start your stopwatch...ok." She smiled and carried on with her work at her usual speed. Uh...aren't you supposed to take me a little seriously here, I thought. But in spite of being angry, I couldn't help but smile and laugh a little at this one. She sure is intelligent and knows how to give it back...:)
