Good concept, wrong context

or Why Talking is Overrated

I had a conversation with Patrick in the library today.

Me: Patrick, please stop touching the gates. They aren't for playing.

(repeat three time)

Me: Patrick, that was your last chance, now you get to stand by Mommy.

(I gently grab him and guide me towards me)

Patrick: Mommy! Don't grab me! That's my private part!

(I try to stop laughing. The librarians don't.)

Me: That's right Patrick, we don't touch private parts. But that's your shoulder.
