When Corporal Punishment bites you in the arse
When Husband gets chauvenistic, I give him The Look.
When Tweenie has a sassy mouth, she loses TV privileges.
When Kye tries to stick his fingers into the VCR or fireplace, he gets a little swat on the hand.
When Rascal konks Kye on the head or yanks Twit's tail, he has to sit on the Naughty Chair.
Apparently when Mama fails to comply, she gets bitten in the @ss.
Turns out that when Rascal asks for the 4th granola bar in a row instead of eating his sandwich, he means business. Current "wisdom" directs parents to ignore bad behavior, as acknowledgment in the form of any reaction (even negative) reinforces that behavior.
It also happens to be true that when one turns one's back on an obstinate child, one presents one's derriere to aforementioned shrimp, who finds said fanny right at eye, er, tooth level.
That freakin' hurt.

Not that I would ever want a bite in the arse...very funnily put...and aptly observed...Little guy provides material day in and day out. I'm smiling and looking forward to the next episode.
What'd you do?
I would like to avail myself of the freedom not to comment as provided me by the Fifth Amendment.
Wear padded pants from now on. Actually bike shorts have excellent padding in the derriere. Makes it twice as big. Good luck!
we all have non-proud moments in our mommy days. can't say as i have yet been bitten like that, nor do i know just how i would respond. probably not well enough to confess to the multitudes. i am laughing though, an just hoping it'll never be me.
Taste's like chicken, doesn't it adam?
