As a young child, it can be frustrating when you feel like your parents aren't giving you their full attention - particularly if they are instead focusing on something which seems a lot more frivolous, like the TV, or their smartphone. 

Well one little boy who found himself in such a pickle decided that enough was enough - and issued his phone-obsessed mother with a ticket, demanding that she pay him an incredibly large fine as a punishment for 'being on the phone most of the time'. 

'Ticket for being on the phone most of the time and not being (seriously) with me a lot,' the homemade ticket, which was written out in blue pen on a piece of lined notepaper, read.

The youngster then demanded that his mom pay a fine of $112,938,784,657,394,871,217, before ending the faux ticket with a somewhat mean-spirited sign-off, writing: 'Hope you enjoy paying the fine!'

No doubt highly amused by his son's ingenious way of pointing out his grievances regarding his mother's phone use, the youngster's father posted an image of the ticket on Reddit and Imgur, where it quickly amassed more than 650,000 views. 

While the image has since been removed, Yahoo reports that the original poster had captioned it by writing: 'Wife got served a ticket by my son.'

And while some commenters chose to see the funny side of the young boy's outrage, others were quick to criticize his mother for ignoring her child in the first place - which is perhaps why the image was eventually removed. 

'Probably couldn't find her attention to hand-deliver it so using Dad's imgur account hope she would see it...' one person commented. 

Another added: 'A mom on her phone so much that her son acknowledges it with a fake ticket... That's actually very sad...'

The letter is certainly a role-reversal as far as most disciplinary parent-child relationships are concerned, as it is usually the parent or guardian doling out punishments to naughty children rather than the other way around.

But this young boy is certainly not the only cheeky child to try and teach their parents a lesson. Just last month, a little girl turned into an online celebrity after she appeared in a video explaining to her father why she has no intention of doing chores or school work, insisting that nobody - not even her dad - is going to convince her otherwise.

Joanna, who, as she reminded everyone constantly throughout the clip, was just four years old when the video was made, explains very clearly to her dad why she won't be doing any more school work or house work until she turns five, thank you very much.

Wearing a pink ruffled dress, the precocious tot uses grown-up hand gestures and a very adult tone to convey her point - which seems to be that her dad needs to get with the program and realize that it's she, not he, who makes the rules. 

'Why don't you do school? You are almost five,' her dad's voice can be heard saying from behind the camera.

'I'm not gonna be five for a while, because my next birthday is not for a while,' Joanna says in response, slowly enunciating the last word with plenty of attitude and gesturing boldly with her hands.

Her dad asks her again why she doesn't do more work, and the little girl quiets him quickly by lifting her hand, seemingly running out of patience with his clueless questions.

'And,' she says, 'it depends what mommy says. If she says: "Joanna, come and do your reading," or something else, or like an activity, then I go and do my school. Whenever mommy says for me to do school, I can do school. But whenever mommy doesn't say that, I don't. OK?'
