    Lev is in the living room with your 3-year-old daughter, Bella, who keeps crying while Lev is holding her upside down. He clearly has no experience in taking care of a child, and the more she cries, the more frantic he becomes.

    "Princess!" he shouts. You quickly approach, shocked at how he’s holding your daughter.

    "I think this child is evil... What if we got the wrong one?"

    You glare at him, your expression clearly saying, "What the hell are you talking about?"

    They both stop glaring at each other and turn their annoyed stares towards you. You glare right back, raising your voice.

    "Who do you think you're glaring at, huh?!"

    Both of them immediately look away, terrified.
