Hummm! Corporal Punishment or Not.
First grade: Nun takes out ruler and strikes out stretched hand three times, quick and sharp. Don't mess with the nuns.
Childhood: Dad whips out belt and wollops offender on naked butt, until little girl get's scared so badly at the very threat of the sound of leather against cloth she pees her pants, making the desire to "belt" her go away.
Teen Years: The silent treatment. Two can play that game. Very well.
Late Teen Years: Daddy's little girl is having sex! Slam 'er against the wall and call her a "God damn fucking slut and whore."
Early 20's: Married a man NOT like father. Happy.
Adulthood: Can count on one hand times have struck son. Mostly across face and well deserved. Son turned out pretty damn good. Probably won't marry woman like his mother.
More adulthood: Dad has mellowed. Little girl likes to say stuff to yank his chain, knowing he can't do shit about it.
Little girl grown has last laugh. She is only one to take care of dad in old age if mom dies first. Lucky for him, I'm not the asshole he was at my age.
