I'd tell my kids that they would be disciplined and that I didn't care if they called the police! I'd say they can take you to the Children's Home and give me a break!
My children look at me and ask how parents let their children get away with that stuff! They'd say "Mom wouldn't go for that!". The twins, actually, think that I raised great little Jehovah's Witness kids. The other two aren't Witnesses; but they knew that there was only so much that I would deal with before they chapped my hide! Don't try to clown on me in public!
