Our mom was really good at punishment... throwing away (crap) like magazines that she wanted to toss anyway, but that we thought we would die without...giving extra chores....nasty ones like cleaning bathrooms and scrubbing baseboards...cleaning the basement and foregoing any activity we wanted to attend. She also was creative in other ways... if we were in the house on a summer day because we were bored... take a lap...and if you dont think of something to do...take another (around the house). Physical punishment was to stand awkwardly and be quiet, or hug and kiss to make up....she would also spank or punish in front of friends or in public....knowing this we were really well behaved...and or tried really hard not to be caughtDonna-Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326676692958489141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-21735249914204029282008-06-22T01:23:00.000-07:002008-06-22T01:23:00.000-07:00UM, yeah.
