Mothers can send children to their rooms if they misbehave. If moms act out, kids have to resort to more drastic measures.

On Wednesday, reddit user Leability posted a short note to r/funny with the following caption: "My cousin got her mommy privileges revoked for the night." The note appears to have come from the cousin's small child, Owen, whose message is loud, clear and unsparing.

Mommy had misbehaved, and there would be consequences.

It is unclear what mommy did to deserve such a severe punishment. Did she not serve Owen dessert? Did she fail to read him enough mommy bedtime stories? Did she raise her voice in a distinctly unmommy way or fail to catch the Pokémon Owen asked her to?

Can Owen live?

Owen very likely survived tucking himself in. Mommy's status -- and whether she will regain her rightful mommy privileges -- is unknown.

Mommy, we're rooting for you.
