Yesterday’s corner time: 4 Minutes.
My parents are very disobedient. They ignore all my orders and seem to greet my advice with derisory snorts and laughter.
I’m beginning to realise that my opinions just don’t count. I appear to have no say whatsoever in the day to day running of the household.
Take yesterday for example, I insisted that my Dad should go in the corner for swearing again but was completely ignored. He’s setting a very bad example.
Apparently, his wi-fi connection was playing up and he was getting very agitated believing that his computer was deliberately trying to scupper his attempts to finish work early, so that he could watch the World Cup.
I promptly appeared on the scene armed with my trusty hammer and delivered my prognosis that a few bangs should help to resolve his connectivity issues. Cue derisory snorts from my Dad.
Shortly after this, the swearing commenced and culminated in Dad taking my hammer and banging the hell out of his computer. Funnily enough, that did the trick.
I didn’t like to say I told you so. So, I sung it instead.
For an hour.
All the way through what was left of his football match.
That’ll teach him not to listen to me.
Matthew.

- I'm Matthew, I'm 6 years old. I have a Mum, a Dad and an annoying, 4 year old sister, Becca. I started writing this blog when I was two. I had more time on my hands in those days. Becca wasn't even born and I didn't have to attend school for every waking hour. Still, whenever I can, I get up to mischief and I document my adventures here.

Hehe. good one! I'm surprised that your father's swearing didn't fix the computer though, since that's often how I make mine behave. Tell him to try threatening to donate it to the local tech club- they dissect mechanics! That also works.
Parents can be very hard to convince Matthew, make sure you get your hammer back, now that Dad knows it works he will try to confiscate it.
You are brilliant, squirt! Happy Birthday!!
Thanks Anonymous and Peter - good tips!
