'I don't care whether you think it's an affront to your 'Human Rights', I still want you to go to the naughty corner!'

"Frankly, now that he's an obnoxious teenager, I find it more and more difficult to muster the urge to protect him..."

"What do you think I can get for it on the blackboard market?"

'I don't know what 'peer pressure' is, but it makes a GREAT excuse!'

'I'm not playing 'Bride and Groom' unless you sign this pre-nuptial aggreement!'

'My allowance isn't much - but I have a great benefits package!'

'Here comes your Daddy - Do you want me to do the talking?'

'At first I was grounded, but my lawyer was able to plea bargain it down to 30 minutes in the Time Out Chair.'

Boy in toy car talking on phone.

"Houston, we have a problem!"

"I am not ‘politicizing the issue’ — I simply asked you to pick up your room!"

'I'm pretty sleepy tonight, Dad - could we just skip ahead to the chase scene?'

"Three yummies, a pat on the head, and a 'Good doggy.' That's my client's final offer."

"He just talked me into giving him a 200% raise in his allowance. At least we don't have to worry about him not succeeding in business when he grows up."

"Just sign it, or I'll post YOUR old report cards on social media."

"I realize you want to enjoy every last minute of summer, but it's not possible to stay awake until school starts."

'Only two cookies? What is this -- a quota system?'

"My client, whom I shall refer to as your son, has retained me to represent him in these negotiations regarding an increase in his allowance!"

"Ok mummy, perhaps this isn't so crummy!"

"We want to make sure that your wish for us to give you grandchildren has nothing to do with your concerns about future vacancies at your chicken processing plant."

"Ambitions . . . never, ever to eat broccoli again."

'It certainly sounds like a fantastic offer, but I'm not supposed to answer the phone.'

'Sure raising my allowance is great, daddy but what I really want is power of attorney!!

'If you let me read the SPORTS section, I just may consider moving.'
