Screw up with my mom and she might not have the strength to whip my ass. OTOH, when Dad came home, well...... Don't plan on sitting down for a while. Often I was given 3 choices. Your ass, your palm or Dad's choice. You don't extend out the first 2 and he picks up whatever he finds handy and hits whatever he can. The next day, you might have to find a way to make amends and pay for what you did.
Take my brother for instance. When he was defiant and walked out, Dad, didn't say a word. When his friends couldn't put him up any longer, he had to come home and beg to be let in. Dad didn't budge and asked him to return in a week. We found out that he was living in a crate we put outside the house for that week. Finally, after begging again, and this was after work with the neighbor kids around, Dad let him in. What did I learn from that? If you want to walk, walk but don't expect to come back easily. Hard lesson for the brother? Yes. Consider it an object lesson. Same as when my cousin cussed in front, not at, Grandpa. He was beaten severely. Another object lesson. Be respectful of Grandpa. Pain is an excellent instructor. Sometimes, it even instructs others around.
So in this case, others can see what could happen to them for stupidity. Best thing of a Taser is that it doesn't care what your silly excuses your mindfawk has to say.
