Reply #19: If I was his kid ... [View All]

[elare]

I'd leave all the clothes I didn't want anymore lying around so that I'd get replacements that I like. Most kids would be able to think that up on their own, so how is this punishment?

On the lighter side, this story did remind me of something a co-worker once told me. When she was a teen, sharing a room with her sister, they were forever leaving their clothes on the floor. They came home one day to find that their father had hammered nails into the floor, with the tops sticking out about an inch or so. They asked him why he'd done that, and his reply was "That's the only your clothes will ever be hung up!"
