There's other ways of making them understand.

Is it possible to deserve a slap from saying something ignorant? I'm not sure, but if I did deserve the slap I'd would already know that it was my own fault and I wouldn't do anything, if I didn't deserve it I'd get very angry and give her a load of crap.
