I never spanked the boys in a deliberate manner, but have smacked them in the sudden urgent they are about to do something catastrophic manner. DH disagreed completely with my gentle nature with them, but he respected my wishes. I still get blamed by him and a while lot of other people for their failings because I was way too lenient with them. My neighbor always is telling me (joking) that I should have beat them, and that it isn't too late. Y'all can be amused at the thought of me putting my 6'5" son across my knee to spank him.
All I could do as a parent was follow my best instincts. Can't do what is right for other people.
ION, I still have no plan for Thanksgiving. I need to do something about that.
I blame raisins.
The big, wrinkled bullies.
Now I have to google currants to see what they are.
The big wrinkled bullies are prunes!
The only thing worse than Ding-Dong ads in Harvey Milk stories would be Kool-Aid showing up in some of the recent Jonestown articles....
Wasn't that actually Flavor Aid or something?
I blame raisins.
I blame craisins. Which are not nearly as yummy as currants. And I say that as a pro-cranberry person.
Jesse -- yep, it was actually Flavor-Aid, but everybody thinks it was Kool-Aid anyway and I'm not even sure if F-A is still in business....
I would think the connotations might have forced them to change the brand name, if nothing else.
It's pretty common in Canada. Or was, last I remember.
Ooh, you can totally still get it. [link]
