"Hot-Saucing" As A Form Of Discipline
ABC News ^ | 8/24/04

Posted on 08/24/2004 1:39:31 PM PDT by NRA1995

The practice of "hot saucing" a child's tongue as a method of discipline may seem cruel to some parents, but those who regularly use the punishment say it teaches their charges valuable and long-lasting lessons.

All it did for me was condition me to like hot sauce.

Mrs. Lewinsky, you needed to know this during Monica's formative years.

My uncle Tom down in Alabama used to feed rootabagas (sp?) to kids as punishment at his day care center. This was 20 years ago. Probably doesn't still do it.

Of that I have no doubt.
But what is the lesson learned?

Our oldest thought it would be a good idea to stick out her tongue at us when we would say something she didn't want to hear. My husband stuck some hot sauce on her tongue one time and she hated it. But guess what? She never did that again!

Funny you should say that. I tried to use hot sauce to keep my dog from begging while we ate dinner. He'd beg, I'd give him a morsel drenched in "Dave's Ultimate Insanity" sauce. He'd get this look on his face, go nutso for 2 or 3 minutes, then come back for more.

He now likes food (spicier) hotter than I do!

When I was a small child, I had a habit of chewing the corners of my blankets & pillowcases.

My mom & dad got me to stop by putting Tabasco on the corners.

Help, I'm scarred for life! ;)

If you tried that here in NM, you would be wasting your time.

Well, we can compromise. Use a good quality hot sauce like Crystal. (Stay away from "Texas Pete" and "Franks Red Hot") Crystal Hot Sauce

Is this anything like when my older sister & I were much younger and we misbehaved and drove my mother nuts and she finally resorted to calling Dad in from the yard and he pulled off his belt and my sister & I beat feet at the speed of sound?

I only ask because I don't remember any hot sauce.

That approach never works with Chihuahuas ...

I love Dave's Insanity. But after a while it paled, so I now make my own hot sauce. I grow my own peppers, Jalapanos. seranos, cayanne, and habaneros. The fumes literally corrode the mason jar lids.

Hot Saucing!

That's for wimps.

Try a mouthful of pleasant tasting, sweet foaming, Fels Naptha soap.

It's a wonder anything in my gastro-intestinal tract still works.

Love ya, Mom!

Cayenne pepper when I was a kid. Ouch.

When I got out of line, my dad just beat my ass.

Worked every time.

Thanks Dad!
