Ian,
OMG, we had the same father...
No problem, I deserved it, I got it, and I'm fine (well, what is normal anyways :-))

But, it was my Mom that I was more worried about..she would get a certain look...and that mean't game over...no more arguing and do what she said NOW!

I think the young parents of today...have a whole lot harder time with it all. I know the teachers sure do!
