the kid: mommy, daddy called me grumpy pants.

the hubby: I did not. I said "smarty pants".

the kid: you shouldn't say that, daddy. it's rude.

the hubby: sorry. I didn't realize it would hurt your feelings.

the kid: it didn't hurt my feelings. it made me mad. and that's rude.

the hubby: I'm sorry. I'll be nice.

the kid: good. 'cause I'd hate to see you get on the naughty list.
