You're welcome. I find it very appropriate when my little cousin is vocally engaged in a major snit (which is often), I can say to her "
Reeeeally, darling, what ARE you whinging about now?" It's particularly effective if one's chin and nose are slightly elevated and you carry the look of someone who has just had a sniff of something rather foul. The last time I said this to her, she announced "My Mom just tells me to shut up...I think I like your way better" and immediately did...shut up, that is. She is now saying it to her little brother. It's so nice to know one is teaching the young ones something useful, yes?
