Elly: Well...I guess April and I have a meeting at the school tomorrow night with the principal, Jeremy and his parents. Maybe we'll get to the bottom of this. Jim: In my day, "getting to the bottom" meant something else. Elly: It's better to resolve these things by talking, Dad. Jim: Maybe...but we raised you and your brother, and in my opinion, a good spanking once in a while doesn't hurt! Elly: ...That's because you were holding the strap.

but face it Elly, he is right. if more children today were punished by a good swat on the butt, there would be less school, church and other mass shootings.Parents are there to raise a child into a well balanced, fully functioning member of society. The bible says it, “spare the rod, spoil the child.”

Woof, for better or for worse. Gramps has the worse part done. I got to call up my mama and tell her thank you for not hitting me as a child.
