for some reason when i was a child i was able to laugh at my parents while they was tiring my butt up.but i could not stop from laughing at them cause i know as much as they was tearing up my butt their arms had to be hurting.the more i laugh they madder they will get the madder they will get the harder they would hit me,the harded they hit me the more their arms would hurt.so as i got older they started talking to me and yes sometimes i will make a joke of what they was saying or i would laugh at them.which would make them madder but not mad enough at me to make them want to hurt their arm by spanking me.they would just spend me to my room until they could figure something else out.but they knew that didn't work cause all i would do is sit in my bedroom and laugh at them or go to sleep.
when i was going to high school and since i was always the class clown it got me into trouble alot.they will send me down to the dean of boys office and soon i was calling him dad cause he was tearing my butt up as much as my dad was.like my parents i would laugh at him sometimes i would pick up the phone on his desk and tell him to call my mom cause she hits harded than he does.over time his arm too got to hurt,than he would call the football coach in yes i would laugh at him and yes soon his arms would hurt,than they would call in the asst. football coach in and yes i would laugh at him and in time his arms would become sore.after i ran through all of the coaches when i walked in the dean of boys office he would just say i don't want to hear it just turn around and go back to class.my arm is too sore to spank you today and so are the coaches.so go back to class and stay out of trouble i know it is hard for you to do but i know you can.
but i never could stay out of trouble and 1 day the dean of boys told me he had tennis elbow and i ask him how he hurt his arms and he just look at me and say you such a smart ass ain't you.he would just keep me down into his office until it was time for me to go to another class.
now since i am a single father i know how my parents,teachers and dean of boys felt but i know how to laugh and smile at my children when they do something wrong.they do not like it when their dad stands there making jokes at them and laughing at them.sometimes they will say come on let's get it over but that will be too easy on them.cause when i am standing there laughing at them they are wondering what i am going to do to them,the answer is simple nothing cause now they are old enough to know what they did was wrong and they will not do it again.sometimes when our children do something wrong they are harder on theirsevles than we are.they knew what they did was wrong before they done it and they are learning by their mistakes which we had to do when we was growing up
