Well, to be honest, and I probably shouldn't admit this online, whenever my son misbehaved, a good spell in the oven at 550°F set him straight forthwith.
When my son was just old enough to know what disobeying Dad was, and after I had told him repeatedly not to play in the cat's litter box, I awoke one morning to find kitty litter and cat shit strewn everywhere. My son just stood there, looking at me and laughing. He never did express contrition.
Needless to say, my righteous wrath was kindled, and I've been torturing the little son of a bitch ever since, with no end in sight.
All out of love, of course.
