I had to spank my son plenty when he wanted to show out in the store when he was 2 and 3 years old. My parents, who used to regularly beat my tail for the same offense, now tell me, "It don't take all that to get him to stop."

That's the problem with kids now, folks scared to spank. Yea, my son got tore up in Wal-Mart, Sack and Save, the mall, wherever he tried to clown and I dared anybody to call me on it. Now, I just give him "the look" and he settles right on down. My husband uses that "Deep Daddy Voice" on my son and that works as well.
