[after listing prices of cars bought and sold]

What was my profit for the day?
Mikey:
Could you repeat the last one?
Matilda:
[interrupting]
$10,265.
[long pause]
Matilda:
Check it if you don't believe me.
Harry Wormwood:
[he, Zinnia, and Mikey glance at the paper, then at Matilda]
You're a little cheat, you saw the paper.
Matilda:
From all the way over here?
Harry Wormwood:
[suspicious]
Are you being smart with me? If you're being smart with me, young lady, you're going to be punished.
Matilda:
Punished for being smart?
Harry Wormwood:
For being a smart aleck! When a person is bad, that person has to be taught a lesson!
Matilda:
Person?
Harry Wormwood:
Get up, get up...
Narrator:
Harry Wormwood had unintentionally given his daughter the first practical advice she could use. He had meant to say, "When a child is bad." Instead he said, "When a person is bad", and thereby introduced a revolutionary idea: that children could punish their parents. Only when they deserved it, of course.
