    Wonder why he is not throwing the tomato at Susie? Does he really love her?

    Calvin is a good example of what happens when you “spare the rod”.

    Dberrymanal1, I assume you’re kidding. Calvin defies all reality, and is not an example of what happens when you don’t beat your kid. I’ve raised enough well-behaved children without hitting to know.

    Where’s Hobbes cool voice of reason when you need it. But then Calvin wouldn’t listen anyway. It’s your funeral, Calvin.

    Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

    I cannot image what would have happened to me if I had thrown a tomato at my mother……actually I can and that’s why it never happened.

    Actually, cdward, Calvin is a pretty good example, and few children are so naturally good-natured that they don’t need corporeal punishment once in a while. Those that are are usually of Calvin’s temperament and mine, but some even of us are too clever for our own good (or anybody else’s) and need to have our consciences developed.

    If you have children who are that tender-hearded, excellent. I’d lay good money on what their temperament and that of their parents is, were I a betting man. From what you write about all and sundry, I am virtually certain of it. But most of humanity isn’t of that temperament. For most of us humans, a word to the wise isn’t sufficient.

    For me it was. My fifth grade teacher knew it, and the one time I got into serious trouble with some other kids, he didn’t lay the paddle on me as he did the others (yes, he had one). He did something else which was more humiliating to me even as it was a lot gentler. Trust me, though, the others needed and deserved what they got.

    Had four kids(two of each) never laid a hand on any of them. Never really had to, and they all turned out absolutely great!

    Paddling = Hitting?

    Only when done in anger, or to show who’s boss. A paddling should be administered calmly and deliberately. And only after the child understands why.

    Public schools did away with paddling considered corporal punishment. I remember as a kid parents and us went to OK for a short time in school, little town we where in did paddles and when a student was getting this no one went into hall until swat was over.

    Of course Calvin is an obedient kid. He is not throwing anything hard, after all!

    I will say this, my parents were very creative in their punishment! There are times that they SPANKED (NOT HIT!!!) me and my brother, but there were other times that they did other things to punish. Each child is different!! There was even one time my dad spanked himself to punish me… and guess what it worked!! But there were other times that the only punishment that worked for me was to spank me… But I am a well adjusted child, and there was no abuse in what they did!

    Worse than the spankings us kids got was mom having us go out to the peach tree and cut off the tool to be used, must not be too big to do harm and not too small to not sting. Never administered to bare skin.

    Worse than that was dad giving us a talking to rather than the razor strap. That hurt more than a whippin’ cause we could see the pain in dads eyes from the infraction we were guilty of.

    Not a day goes by that I don’t miss them, and remember that we were truly blessed with wonderful parents.

    Calvin hasn’t actually done anything yet, and I think that he’s way too smart to actually throw that tomato.

    Fun thinking about it, though.

    Children that are disrespectful to their parents would have absolutely no qualms about being disrespectful to someone else. Today it’s throwing a tomato or crab apple … tomorrow it’s small-animal torturing, bullying, beatings, robberies, or maybe even murder. Actions need to have consequences. I got spanked as a child when I deserved it and am all the better for it because I’m a well-adjusted, tax-paying, law-abiding citizen today instead of the financial drain on society that prisoners are.
