Oh, you're gonna love this one!
Me, my siblings and our respective children had gathered at my parent's house to take the annual Christmas picture of grandchildren and grandparents.
My eldest nephew punched my youngest nephew int he arm and made him cry just as I was about to snap the picture.
The little guy buried his head in his arms and refused to look up.
We all tried to coax him to at least pick his head up but he refused.
Finally my mother says in her best whiskey voice, "Matty pick your head up and take the picture, Grandma might not be around next Christmas!"
(My mother is in perfect health)
My eldest nephew broke the silence, "You did NOT play the death card with a 9 year old?!"
Little Matty picked his head up, "Oh yes she did!"
We got the picture with everyone smiling.

Come over here and let me spank you.

My 84 year old mother has started to leave her meals uneaten, so I've started to play her back some of her own 'cards', e.g. 'What about the staving children in Africa?'
And when she seems unable to clear that bit of chocolate from her face I threaten to spit on a handkerchief and wipe the mess away for her, just as she did for me 50+ years ago.
Sounds as if it's time to start retaliating with your mother ;o)
I love your family.
