Moms: Would you laugh or frown upon this if you heard this?

Question

I was watching ER this morning and there was a scene where a woman brings in her oh let's say about 9 year old son. The boy is fighting tooth and nail to not have stitches in his head, saying all kinds of rude things. His mom coaxes his saying "If you're good, we'll go to McDonald's!" The boy says "NO I want to go to Toys R US!" They argue for a moment and the mom finally says, "If you don't behave I'll tell Daddy you were acting badly" and the boy busts out with "And I'll tell Grandma you were playing with Daddy's p***s!!!" and he takes off running out of the room. I have to say I laughed hysterically when I heard that (even if it was just a TV show!)

If that were a real life situation and you heard it somewhere would you have to resist laughing or would you find it not in the least funny?

Answer 1

OMG, I'm laughing right now just reading, I think if I seen it in real life iwould of burst out laughing.

P.S. If my son was getting stitches in his head I would've taken him to toy r us!!!!  

I know its not right to bribe, but stitches in the head?  Yeah I would've taken him!!!

Answer 2

I wouldn’t even KNOW how to respond to that.  I’d probably be mortified and shut up REAL fast! But I'd be DYING inside completely!

Answer 3

Answer 21

The comment  about the p***s is funny, but in real life, I'd be disgusted that the mother is being argued with, disrespected and manipulated by a 9 year old over something so important, and she was falling into it.

Answer 22

my jaw would drop to the floor in shock, but i would end up laughing my *** off...

Answer 23

I'd say i'd resist the urge to laugh. But i wouldnt be able to resist.

If it were my son, i'd whisk him off to toys R Us, as quickly as possible. As Lauren pointed out, it's wrong to bribe, but in that situation, what can you do?

Haha

Answer 24

I would be a little disturbed, it's not really funny.  Just my opinion though.
