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?"
