One of the authors knew a little boy named Jerry. He was about 3 years old. Jerry
was a terror. He would throw stones at cars and people, knock over other children's bikes, etc. His mother would smile at him and tell him to be a good boy whenever he did these things, but when her irritation mounted she would explode and punish him for some trivial thing.
