I was amazed to learn my once fun-loving friend had actually turned into a strict mum, and I was equally amazed by her daughter’s obedience. The young girl apologised almost instantly to both her mother and me.
Several minutes later, the girl began playing with the silverware and dropped it on the floor. My friend turned to her daughter, grabbed her wrist and smacked the back of her hand a couple of times. She then silently glared at her daughter for a few seconds and said ‘behave yourself’, swaying her index finger at the girl.
Once again, her daughter dutifully apologised and my friend simply turned back to me and resumed talking, as if nothing had happened. But she did comment: “You need to be strict with children.”
