If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
(J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
Yesterday my daughter was playing in the garden when I saw her kill a butterfly. So to teach her a lesson I said, "Just for that you don't get any butter for a month." Today in the kitchen she killed a cockroach. I said, "Nice try."
