My mother gave our guest’s young daughter a piece of cake. Her mother prompted her, “So? What do you say?”
“Can I have another one?”
Happened to someone I know – a young girl used to wake up every morning in a really bad mood, and would throw tantrums, cry, and generally be very hard to deal with. One day, when the girl threw a tantrum just after waking up, her mother finally had enough. “That’s it! Tomorrow, you are not going to wake up in a bad mood. I want you to wake up in a happy mood! A jolly mood! A cheerful mood!”
The girl burst into tears and said, “I can’t wake up in so many moods!”
