Mother: "What are you doing??!? It's nearly dinner and you don't have permission to be stealing a cookie and cheating on your dinner!!!"
Child: "Mom, you are on the verge of overplaying your hand publicly. Dad and my brothers will quickly lose interest on your side in this. I want to see the Cookie Situation cleaned up, but let's understand that you are doing nothing more than politicizing this event. To throw around the words stealing and cheating as easily as you did is shameful."
