Parenting and Privileges

Overheard at an Art Fair --

Girl, approximately 8-10 years old, was talking to Dad. She was facing away from me, so I could only hear Dad's responses to her. She seemed to be hungry, but reluctant to eat the few snack foods stashed behind their booth.

Dad, in giving her permission to walk to the nearby food tents and purchase anything that suited her palate, says: "Ariana, you're not in Italy any more. You're with Fun Daddy!"
