Spanking!

Pearl has a rather different view of spanking than most children I know. Bry and I usually discipline her with time outs, and refrain from using spanking as a punishment. We do spank her lightly when we are playing with her or teasing her though. She has come to associate spanking with playing and joking, so when Bry asks her if she wants to be spanked, she says, "Yea!!!" and laughs as he spanks her. Then she says, "Spank mommy!" (which means, I want to be spanked by mommy.) She runs over to me and backs up as close as she can so I can have a clear shot of her bum. She thinks its as fun as getting tickled.
