Before she was even 6 months old, my niece was fascinated with all things tech -- from iPhones to iPads and everything in between. It was only a matter of time before she was swiping anyone's Apple device in her path. You can imagine how she reacts when confronted with a passcode she doesn't know. (Although that's rare, being that mostly everyone in the fam has the same one.) Hello, extreme frustration!
For that reason, I totally buy why one 7-year-old girl was potentially threatened by password protection being installed on the family computer. She wrote her parents this hilariously threatening note -- on the stationery of choice for youngins: Orange construction paper, of course!
The memo from kid to parents (excuse the few misspellings -- she's only 7):
If you put a pas w ward on that I will make your life a nitemare.
Hahaha, oh my! Well, she told them, huh?
The little girl's older sister's friend, under the username suprisemailbox, posted the note on Reddit, and for the most part, the comments are funny (you know, versus cruel). Just about everyone seems amused -- or completely freaked out -- by this tough-talkin' kid! But how could you not be?! Kids are so darn entertaining when they're all riled up and making empty but adorable completely serious threats to grown-ups.

Actually, I wouldn't put that whole "make your life a nitemare [sp]" part past any kid who is blocked from getting online. Seriously, this note isn't just a total laugh riot. It is also a major lesson to parents, aunts, uncles, any authority figure. Watch your back. When kids are given access to shiny, bright, web-surfing gadgets and then it's taken away, there will be hell to pay!
Does this crack you up? What's the funniest angry note your kid has ever written you?

Priceless. That's going in the scrapbook.
"Priceless. That's going in the scrapbook" with that kind of thinking Lauralea I hope you leave room in there for first suspension slip and first mug shot..
Looks like the parents need to focus more on this child's school work and less on playing on the computer. My 5 year old spells like that.
Not so much cute as bratty...shows she's probably used to getting what she wants....sad
It would be a lot funnier if I did not recall two little boys who set off a fire alarm at their elementary school and then gunned down their classmates and a teacher who tried to protect a little girl; the two little boys who beat their sleeping father to death with a baseball bat; the number of children who have murdered a little brother or sister...
Seven is old enough to know that your parents are in charge of you. The fact that she felt free to threaten them to make them do as she told them reminds me of my older brother who ruled my parents with an iron fist. Try to spank him? He'd attack you: biting, scratching, kicking, hitting-you might as well try to discipline a rabid grizzly bear. Tell him he was on time-out? He'd laugh in your face. Tell him he couldn't have something he wanted? He'd go get it and wave it in your face.
I left home when he started threatening us with a loaded 12 gauge shotgun when he was 20 years old.
You people ( not all ) say threaten her parents, like she said she was going to break something, or do something horrible. It's a funny thing, all that is needed is a laugh in her face and say you wish, and if you can't say that and get your child to listen, then your child doesn't take you seriously anyway. No grounding is needed, save that for something serious, like when she walks into the middle of traffic, or for some of the peddy parents, when she says "no". Get a sense of hunor people.
Well, I for one not only laughed out loud at this, I have also laughed out loud at my child when "threatened" like this. Anyone who reacts like some sort of computer Nazi, like the4mutts, is obviously wound too tight. Waaaaay too tight. Then again, I laughed so hard when my son called me a bitch that tears rolled down my face. Shit like that just doesn't phase me - it's called keeping your cool. Plus it steals their thunder from doing something so "bad". I laugh, then calmly discipline. No unholiness required. The rest of you should take a chill pill, or a drink, or whatever loosens the sphincter for you.
I think she's probably a spoiled brat.
