I was watching a few of my grandkids this weekend. They wanted to eat leftover Easter candy for lunch, but I insisted that a balanced meal would be more appropriate. So they called me mean.
Later on, I made them go outside and play instead of sitting around watching yubetube all day because exercise is good for you. More complaints of meanness.
At dinnertime I made them eat all their vegetables. You should have heard the howling. I am the meanest grandpa in the world.
Now after they ate all the vegetables, I let them have some ice cream. Because sometimes I'm an old softie.
But then it was bedtime, and back to being the Earl of Mean. "We aren't tired!!" they complained. Well tough cookies, because sleep is important, especially for kids. So I read 'em a story and tucked them in.
I am a meanie. And darn proud of it.

That kind of mean spirited behavior and abuse of power...
...prevents kids from being **** ups.
Good job Keep on being mean!0 -
I had the meanest parents in the world. And I followed suit.
And you just made me miss my grandfather.0 -
When they grow up they'll tell their children about how much fun you were and reminisce about how much they loved going outside to play instead of direct fusing with the mainframe through a cord in their brains.0

This is true. Because I do this about my grandparents a lot. I guess they were "mean" too. God bless them for it.0 -

You sound like a bit of a jerk to be honest. They're children. They don't deserve this treatment.0

My grandpa always had ice cream in his freezer.
