I'm sure some of you get sent to your rooms sometimes by your parents. All I have to say is, the next time it happens and you're lying there all mad thinking about how hard your life is, just picture me standing next to you, ready to smack you upside the head. When I get sent to my room, it's in a freaking dungeon! With rats!

"When I get sent to my room, it's in a freaking dungeon! With rats!"
This quote from James Patterson's book "Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports" humorously highlights the difference in perspectives about punishment. The speaker suggests that while kids might view their punishment rooms as mere rooms, for them, it’s a much scarier experience, like being in a dungeon with rats. The tone is playful and exaggerative, emphasizing the contrast between everyday childhood experiences and the author's more extreme perception of a "punishment" space.
