I was too scared to cause a scene most of the time. My mother had been teaching and managing a classroom of emotionally disabled kids for 7 years prior to my birth, so she had a decade of experience in catching and "solving" behavior problems before I could even think on my own.

I was only spanked twice in my entire life. Combine my dad's strength and my mom's unnatural ability to mentally shrivel a kid who's causing trouble, and I basically never acted out :happysad:
