My dad was a very clear cut guy, if you were being a naughty little shit, you either got your arm held while the back of your legs were slapped so raw getting in a hot bath became the hardest, most painful and most retarded looking thing you ever did. Or, you got a good ol' fashioned clip roun' ear 'ole
It was in the moment leading up to a, ahem, clip around the ear hole, in which i had the most amazing moment of clarity.
I had 2 step-brothers, and a biological brother, so four boys in one house, all aged between 12 and 15, it was a fucking zoo. If all of us had done something super shitty, (like when me and bio bro were wrestling on my parents bed, i leapt from the dresser, fully intending to cave my brothers skull in for the glory of the paper championship belt, hit the bed flat and destroyed a bed frame worth around £400) he would line up the guilty ones and deliver a damn hard clip round the ear to them one by one.
I dont even remember what we did that day, but it must have been a fucking doozy, because all four of us were lined up waiting for mein fuhrer to deliver the punishment. But i had an idea! It absolutly had to work, it seems like the thinkings of a "special" child now. But then, my tiny naive mind thought it was genious. If i said "ow" before he hit me, he'd have to not smack me, right? I mean, surely he'd think the smacking had already happened, and maybe he just blacked out or had a mini stroke or something, right? why would i cry out in pain for no reason?!
So i set about my plan, trying to judge the perfect moment. If he was to commited, he wouldnt stop in time, but if he wasnt even up to smacking velocity, he'd know something was hinky.
He moved on me, and time slowed down. I saw every movement of his fingers as they changed shape in the air to form that slightly curved flat palm which always stung the most. His hand came toward me...to soon...to soon...to soon..NOW!
OW!!
I flinched a little as i shouted (wanted to make it look real) and miraculously he stopped, hand only a few inches from my ear. "I did it!" i screamed inside my head, the world was bright! The grass was greener! I was going to do something crazy to celebrate, like sit and not get up untill id completed Tekken 2, and then wanked, but his voice broke through my thoughts....
"What are you flinching for?"
"Um...i dunno"
"Haha, you dont flich until i smack you, you know?"
"I know"
He smacked me. I flinched.
There was a moral in here some where, i think i lost it

**That should have read:
"From my (admittedly limited) experience..."

I gotta agree, EI. Getting my ass beat was no fun. I was (and still am) a sassy little thing, though; my mouth often gets me in trouble and has all my life.
When I had my stepson I never hit him. I took a parenting class before we got custody...learned a ton about kids. From my (admittedly limited experience) raising a child, I found that taking toys and/or privileges away worked fine and that hitting was unnecessary. Also, I think that hitting kids teaches them that when people do things one deems inappropriate, hitting is an acceptable reaction. It then, in MY opinion, becomes somewhat hypocritical to tell a kid not to hit other kids or other people, for that matter.
Of course, every child is different and should be punished according to whatever works for them. I'm not going to tell a parent that hitting their kid is absolutely wrong...that's for them to decide. Further, I'll decide how to punish my own children when the time comes.

I got my ass beat as a kid, and sometimes as a teenager.
Shit, it worked...I stay out of trouble, for the most part.
--------------
I cant see how anyone associates getting beaten as a kid to staying out of trouble later in life. The two just arent linked. People who use violence towards children, whether their own or others has problems. Be it communicating effectivly or being wrong.
You probably stay out of trouble now because you know the difference between right and wrong. That doesn't have anything to do with being beaten, you probably learnt that from school, parent, friends or your own social interaction.

If this type of punishment were permitted and allowed the latest generation would get over their entitlement issues.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.
I never needed the beating as a kid, I was so fucking hard on myself already.
Not to mention my old man scared the shit outta me.

My Dad used to properly TWAt me round the back of the skull with the back of his big black hand and the attached big gold ring, he also forced my to do Karate for nearly 10 years.....
...until I had bigger, faster hands than him, blocked a swing and countered with the ridge of my hand to his nose. He never considered hitting me again and from then on resorted to irritating lectures only.
I'm 24 now and still get the odd lecture when I pop round to say hello.

"..a damn hard clip round the ear.."
~~~~~~~~
Yes, this does suck and I saw a little boy who had a cauliflower ear like a prize fighter from his fathers fist. I gave the boy a room in my home and he never had to return to his abuser.The boy wrote an essay about me and read it to me at a school assembly..
I still keep it tacked to the wall in my room.

If you're smart, and somehow I know you are, you'll go to school and beat the shit out of all the retards and kids smaller than you.
So, be on your way now, before I cave your face in.

I guess Bart's not to blame. He's lucky, too, because it's spanking
season, and I got a hankering for some spankering!
