My mom had six of us little AH.s..
After KNOWING what was in store for us when we were out of the public eye, it only took a glance from her to know that IF WE DIDN'T behave, the only way out of it was to have the booming voice of god tell her not to strike us.
And lo, we returneth to normal children, withoutest any attitude.

I love to watch kids tossing a tantrum look a parent right in the eye (After the parent threatens the "time out") with the EFF YOU, YOUR WORDS DON'T CARRY ANY WEIGHT look..
Makes me want to get an autograph before I see them on the news for some heinous crime they commit when they get older.
