A father shares his dilemma on Reddit about whether or not to punish his 12-year-old daughter for making a joke about TV censorship that her mom finds inappropriate. The daughter is a huge fan of her grandfather’s favorite childhood shows and loves googling ‘fun facts.’ When she found out that ABC made Burt Ward take pills to shrink his d***, she deadpanned the joke to her parents, and the father found it hilarious.
The mother, on the other hand, was not amused and threatened to wash her daughter’s mouth with soap if she ever used that word again. The daughter told her grandfather the joke, and he laughed so hard that the mother heard the commotion and forbade the daughter from telling the joke again.
However, the daughter repeated the joke to her friend during a playdate, and the mother is now demanding punishment. The father thinks that they should not make a big deal out of it and let the daughter get bored of it eventually, but the mother argues that the daughter is doing it for attention.
