Hi Kathy
I used to get a 'backside spanking' as a child when I was little... I don't remember it...I only know because mum told me that's what used to happen!
This is a story which may just be an urban tale, but it has a message.
In a line for the checkout at a supermarket, a young man with his milk and bread for the day, was standing behind a women with a full trolley. As she unloaded the contents, the child in the trolley got progressively louder with a growing temper over some sweets he wanted. The women kept talking to him sweetly...
No darling, we don't scream like that...
No darling, don't through things on the floor...
No darling, sweeties are bad for your teeth... etc etc
Finally, she gave in and handed the child what he wanted.
The young man couldn't believe it!
"Why did you just give in like that? How is that child ever going to learn about life?, You should have given him a spanking not the sweets!"
The mother replied, "Oh No, we don't believe in punishment! we are progressive parents!"
With that, the quick thinking young man opened his milk and poured the entire bottle over the child, saying….
"Hey, that's how my parents raised me too!"
