I saw my nephew deliver the most wicked punishment ever. His son had
been told not to eat anything before lunch and he got caught eating some
chips that his uncle had given him.. "That was bad. That was very bad.
You are going to have to be punished. I am not sure what the punishment
should be right now so I am going to think of something appropriate for
a child who disobeyed his parents." The poor kid spent the next couple
hours dreading what the unknown punishment was going to be. There was no
punishment.... other than that couple hours of dread.
