Aunts or uncles, typically. The parents of the miscreants are usually "too distraught to be interviewed" or are "not providing comment on the advice of their attorney."

If the parents don't let the kid express his dislike for something by using one of the more handy, simple, vocabulary words for doing so, they are probably doing a lot of other of those "modern parenting" things ... and are well on their way to turning a cute small child into a demanding, entitled, potentially out of control pre-teen.

If they aren't the kind of parents who are resorting to bribery to assure the cooperation of someone small enough to be lifted and carried, then there's hope.

I don't even want to know what you'd make of our kids. They behave angelically for everybody--except their parents.

My children are amazing when it comes to saying things.
For example: My daughter was 5 and we had gone into the Dollar General (We live in SC) There happened to be an odor lingering when you first come in. Many aduldts ignore it and go in my little girl said very loudly, "It smells like brown people in here!" Well as I almost fell over in shock the 3 black people around the register were laughing at her!

I have a 32 year old friend nammed Donnie who is about 6'2"
He tells her constanly that she is his girlfriend and about 1-2 weeks after her birthday he was in the living room watching tv with us and she comes out of her room, walks right up to him, he says hi and she says I am 7 now and I do not have time for you!!! She walks back to her room. As soon as she shuts her door we die laughing.

Just so my son is not left out he has two I can put down:
For example: We had gone to a pizza place called CiCi's Pizza Alex was done and wanted to play the videogame in there so my husband goes with him. It is a racing game there was a 18 year old at the next one. Another car cut him off and he hollered, "You prick" and went back to playing the guy next to them just about fell off the game. So dad asks what did you say and my son replies with, that guy was a prick! Daddy says thought that was what you said. The guy was doing his best not to laugh.

Then the all time favorite one from my little man was when he was 5: We had a brand new table so we decided to "break" it in. Well my parents and my best friend were visiting about a couple of weeks later and something was said to where my husband said Jesus Christ and my son pipes up with, "And mommy says YES! YES! YES! Needless to say we tried that one no more...

Often the little miscreants pop their parents before they head off to do their public display... You may want to join Toastmasters.

i keep their millions upon millions of tiny litle bits and pieces of toys in the attic. i try like hell to keep the kids OUT of it. It's finished, and heated and all, so they like to play up there. they just level all of the piles of toys to a 5 inch layer of debris all over the entire floor and you can't walk through without getting a lego imbedded in the arch of your bare foot. (jinx doesn't allow shoes in the house) .....and she likes sushi a lot.....i wonder if she's japanese, and just not telling me.......hmmm........
