Scolding.

A LITTLE girl, not six years of age, screamed out to her little brother, who was playing in the mud:

“Bob, you good-for-nothing rascal, come right into the house this minute, or I’ll beat you till the skin comes off.”

“Why, Angelina, Angelina, dear, what do you mean? Where did you learn such talk?” exclaimed the mortified mother, who stood talking with a friend. Angelina’s childish reply was a good commentary upon this manner of speaking to children.

“Why, mother, you see we are playing, and he’s my little boy, and I’m scolding him just as you did me this morning, that’s all.”
