My mother cured me of using nasty words by threatening to cut my tongue
out.  (She was holding a butcher knife and told me to stick it out where
she could get it.)  I still have a hard time using naughty words!  But
hey, you've got to tame those little critters some how.  Every kid I've
seen who's been brought up without a spanking has also been brought up
without a concept of disipline (sp), at least into kindergarden (God knows
how those kindergarden teachers straighten them out).
