My mother was a vocal supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never hit my sister, and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory.
One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, "Momma, are we going to McDonalds for dinner?" The mother replied, "Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands." "But I wanna go." "Susie, I said not tonight." Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, " I want to go to McDonalds."
No amount of pleading or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie’ s tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, " Okay, Susie, let’ s go to McDonalds." To say I was amazed would be inaccurate: I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to Sears & Roebuck. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section, I saw a toy I had to have. "Mama, can I have that telephone?"
She replied, "Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl maybe Santa will bring it to you." "But Mama, I want that telephone right now." Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine.
By now we were standing in the long Holiday line, and I figured it was now or never. I lay down on the ground and began screaming over and over again. The Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, "Becky, you better get up by the count of three or else. One…Two…Three."
Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, "I want a new car, I want a new house, I want some jewelry, I want ..." Shocked, I stood up. "Mama, stop. Mama get up," I tearfully pleaded.
She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to sporadically clap. Some parents shook their heads at me and said with a smile, "I bet you’ 11 never try that again."
And I didn’ t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark. [br] Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?
