A friend of mine was telling me earlier today about an occasion where his son was being obstinate and disobedient. His wife then told his son that if he touched it again, she would give him a spanking.
What would I do in the son's position? I would not only touch the forbidden object but manhandle it with the most devious of smiles. Why? Because I like to do things and push the limits.
Needless to say, the kid touched the object while he looked at his mother. "What are the first words out of his mouth?" you may ask. Let me tell you.
"Are you going to spank me?"
The mother's response in my mind has a very no-duh kind of expression. He then proceeds to ask if it could be a little spanking. It was not a little spanking.
This story, however, strikes a chord in me and hopefully many of you. How often do we do something that we know is bad and hope that we don't reap the consequences? Maybe we will only suffer a small hardship.
