Me: Driving down H Street
Angel: Coloring in the back seat
Phyre:Looking out the window
Angel: yelling "Mom! You made me mess up. You need to stop driving like that!"
Me: calmly "Who do you think you're talking to! You need to watch your mouth! The road is bumpy."
Angel: under her breath "You"
Phyre: gasps
Me: reaching back to smack Angel across her legs while driving
Me: noticing that it must not have hurt, as she kept right on coloring and never even looked up
Me: trying to save face "Next time I will make it hurt. You need to have respect!"
Angel: while still coloring and still not looking up "It did hurt mommy"
Phyre: to Angel "You really shouldn't have said that"
Moral of this story, go with your instinct . . . if you're going to spank, pull the car over, get out and make the spanking count! As much as I try to appeal to my children logically as to why certain things are right and others are wrong, sometimes you've got to take it back to basics and whoop that ass.
