She told me, or was it warned?, that I should not do it again.

Hi

Do you find the yellow part OK, especially the punctuation?

She told me, or was it warned?, that I should not do it again.

Thanks,

Tom

It looks slightly odd to me. I think I would prefer dashes: She told me -- or was it warned? -- that I should not do it again.
