It is said that a pat on the back develops Character,




if administered often enough, hard enough, and low enough.





I do not subscribe to that - it's just a bit amusing!  I do believe in
character development - but more than one or two spankings a year and
something is possibly wrong with parent or child or the combination.


Why spank the "behind"?  It's a good sized target for an open hand; it's
almost impossible to do physical damage there; it's hard to defend;
it's traditional!
