Tunch:
The increasingly painful ‘playful’ punches which children apply to their parents.
| Age | What the parent says | What the parent actually thinks |
|---|---|---|
| At 2 years old | Ha, what fun we’re having, you hitting me. | That’s nothing. |
| At 5 years old | Keep it coming, you cannot hurt me! | It’s really nothing. |
| At 12 years old | This is pathetic, I’ll always be stronger. | Lord, they have the capacity to damage me, but I’m more powerful! |
| At 15 years old | Stop hitting me. I’m going to die. | How did this happen? Yesterday I was master of this child, now they rule over me and I’m doomed! |
