Punishment

I hereby declare that there will no longer be any spankings...

Not that I or my husband spanked that often anyway, but my Johnny is soooo wild, crazy, and always getting into trouble. If I did spank him, he would taunt in his little Johnny voice, "Ha Ha! That didn't hurt!!!" Getting in trouble is just Johnny's nature. So given his wild and excessively energetic nature, we have decided to start 'PT'ing the kids for punishment. Isn't that exactly what they need anyway... certainly not any of this missing recess nonsense.

I was thinking push-ups, squats, and runs. Perhaps 10 to 15 push ups tops, or 20 squats, or running around the yard however many times would suffice, but my husband today went for the full military crap-out. The offense... Johnny started throwing objects at the dog. Jessica was goading him on. The punishment... squats until they could not squat anymore and then sit in half squat and repeatedly speak the offense they were not going to do anymore. Then they had to hand feed the dog his dinner to make amends.

The prediction... Johnny is going to have an a$$ of steel.
