I only got spanked once (that I recall) as well. I secretly crossed the street alone to go to the park. Scared my mom out of her mind. Justifiable spanking.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I got spanked at least three or four times (maybe more times that I've forgotten). The one time that sticks in my mind was when I turned the thermostat up to 95 degrees. My dad told us that could burn the house down.
Dunno - maybe that was true. That was a 110 year old house when we finally tore it down....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Seems like an awful waste of manpower when all you had to do was crank the heat.

I'm getting the pig!
Hold up! Michael Jackson is 50?!? Crap. That's really shocking to me for some reason. Holy cow.
I was spanked as a child. I can't say that it taught me to hit, but I can see the connection. And I'm sure that some children would make that connection at a young age, I just know that I didn't.

I was spanked as a child and it taught me that bigger people can do what they want to you, but that doesn't make them right. Think in terms of correcting my behavior it was a wash, too - I got more stubborn and rebellious.
That said, I have smacked Casper on the butt in anger. Not calculatedly, though. Is that better, or worse?

I got that from the phrase, "because I said so" and "because I'm the mom, that's why." Heh.

Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson -- all the same age, which wasn't so surprising 20 years ago, but 50 looks pretty different on each one of them now...
