Not to be rude or anything, but a parent should never make a threat that
they do not intend to follow through with.  If a child calls your bluff
once, your job can only get more difficult.  Of course, there are plenty
of other things that your mother could have threatened you with.  I
believe my wife got hot sauce in the mouth once.
