It ain't cute when she just keeps going

Her jokes were cute at first, but I'm going mad here!

Never let a child know they can drive you mad or they will be driven to keep doing (whatever) - Children are like scientists, if they do something and it gets a strong reaction they are intrigued and will further "test" the action to see if they can reproduce the stimuli/catalyst; get the same results again - or possibly an even better one.
We had a substitute study hall teacher jump on a chair and flap her skirt screaming "STOP IT!" once when we had all gotten pretty rowdy in her class (because she was a substitute and we were testing our limitations with her).
From that point forward we were driven to see it happen again. We couldn't believe we had actually witnessed what we had seen; (so must set up the criteria again and again to find that fine line between a yardstick cracking on the desk and a woman hopping up and down doing a dance on a chair and shrieking. To a child there is no more shocking/intriguing sight than an adult having a meltdown and out of control.
