If you're not blessed to have children play a prominent role in your life, then you may be fooled into thinking they're angelic little creatures who have only nice things to say and are full of respect for those that love and care for them.
Not so.
Once you scratch beneath the surface you'll find they are in fact full of cutting remarks and just waiting for the perfect opportunity to unleash these gems on their parents.
Poor Martin turned 41 last week and bought himself what he considered to be a hip new shirt. Unfortunately he was informed by his 11-year-old daughter that it was, in fact, "grandaddy" and could he please replace it with something slightly cooler?
Not to be deterred, Martin proudly wore his rainbow-coloured shirt into work where Sarah promptly took a picture and displayed it on Facebook for all the world to see and comment on - and boy, did they comment. (You can check out the offending shirt for yourself on our Facebook page The Hits Hawke's Bay.)
