A tiny hand reached toward its tempting goal, stretching as far as the pudgy infant arm could go. Almost . . .

Socrata Thrace slapped her daughter's hand down, none too gently, as the toddler reached for the telephone her mother was using.

"No!"

A scrunched-up little face, tears and the sound of wailing only made the woman more irritated.

"Oh, my kid's misbehaving," she explained. "Just a moment."

Dropping the telephone, she grabbed the child around the waist and took her into the next room.

With infant deposited in cot and door locked, her conversation resumed.

It wouldn't be Kara's last slap.
