Funny for adults, terrifying for the poor child!

At our daughters birthday party, the hired entertainers were performing a puppet show, which most of the kids were enjoying immensely. One child was getting scared when the wolf puppet started chasing the boy puppet. Most kids laughed histerically. So, the one boy decided to sit in my wife's lap. He continued to get more scared, so my wife thought she should take him to his mother. So, she stood up and started to walk in front of the puppets just as the wolf puppet said he wanted to eat a child's finger. The look on the poor boy's face said it all and my poor wife was horribly embarressed that she'd offered up a scared child to the wolf puppet. Fortunately, the mother was there watching the whole thing and thought it was funny, as did most the other adults there. The children were too interested and entertained by the puppets to notice.
