No more Spanking!

Here is my conversation with Drew the other night. And, for setting, his words are all flowing in a rather nonchalant, matter-of-fact tone of voice.

Drew - "Dad, I need to go down to the shop to get some wood to make a sign."
Me - "Oh really, what are you making a sign for."
Drew - "for my bedroom."
Me - "ok, but what is the sign going to say."
Drew - "It will say 'Dad and Mom, no more spankings and time-outs"
Me- "But, what if you do something bad and really need a spanking"
Drew - "I will try hard to do better"
Me - "But what if you still make a mistake"
Drew - "Then we can just put an X through the sign"
Me - "What about Truitt, what if he needs a spanking"
Drew - "We can make another sign for Truitt that says "FREE SPANKINGS"
