I saw the guy across the room, sniggering and it was obvious he had put her up to it.

    So, I said, "Honey, you need to go tell your Daddy he's an idiot." She went back and the sniggering stopped.
    He asked for it and you gave it to him.

    as for the 2.5 inch leather..my dad had an old razor sharpening strap hanging on the wall...any time someone got in trouble. he would simply mention the strap, and the problem was over.....most of the time.

    That was the way I was raised also. Obviously the kids don't use their heads for anything other than stuffing their gullets. I used to parrot the things I heard other people say at incredibly wrong times. Consider the source my friend
