“Carolyn, do you really mean ‘exactly like Davey’?” A little smile hovered around her mouth and she looked pointedly at Randy as she asked the question sending his to the floor and making his face flame up all over again.
“Exactly like Davey, Susan.”
“Isn’t Randy a little old to be punished like a small child when he misbehaves, Carolyn?”
“Perhaps, Susan, but that’s exactly why my method of discipline is so effective with a freshman who still behaves like a thirteen year old from time to time. Since I only punish him when he misbehaves, he can’t say he doesn’t deserve what he gets or that I’m being unfair. And frankly, it a lot better than risking a suspension or expulsion from school and jeopardizing the education his mother worked so hard to provide. Isn’t that so, Randy?”
