If I ever got to the point that I was getting taken to the car there would have been a spanking awaiting me. The effectiveness of the paddle is unparalleled. Its power is such that the threat of it was usually more than enough to get us back in line. I love my parents for the fact that they cared enough for me to teach me how to function in a society by first teaching me how to function in a family. I’m passing this along to my children.
