I'll have to Smack You!

Growing up in a small town in Newfoundland, I was told, as a child, that I had a way of breaking the tension, when Dad...  'Had Enough!'

The following scenario would be me, about five minutes after being sent to bed for the night.

"Da-ad..."

"What!"

"I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?"

"No, You had your chance. Lights out!"

Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad…"

"WHAT!"

"I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water?"

"I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll come up there and give you a smack!"

Again five minutes later: "Daaaa-aaaad…"

"WHAT!"

"When you come up to smack me, can you bring a drink of water?"
