So true,but I didn't wait until I grew up.I wanted to please my mom so bad that I was a good kid.Next time I asked my mom's friend to offer me a cookie so that I can say no to her offering.And I further explained her that when I took the cookie previously my mom raged and punished me and this time I wanted to do the right thing and want my mom's anger to go away.I in an innocent way outed my mom.LOL.Ofcourse that did escalate my mom more.
