They were so RANDOM, ha ha. Lord knows we gave our parents reason enough to discipline us. It didn't result in a beating but I'll never forget riding home in a car one day and I must have been in the front seat between my parents. My mother looked around. I couldn't see what was going on in the backseat but we had just gotten a little kitty from somewhere and my brothers were back there holding it. All I heard was my mother suddenly yell in a horrified voice: "Don't twist the kitty's head like that!" It's amazing our parents let us live. Perhaps that was their greatest punishment . . .

I tend to refer to myself as a "Geek Dilettante" for that very reason. Alas, the beatings I received as a child don't seem to have helped, though I'm almost positive that none of them were ever administered for the purpose of correcting that particular condition.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Kris is a very bright little boy but he has trouble focusing in class. He's very easily distracted. I recommend that you beat the tar out of him or he will be like this forever.
