Home school fun
Attention, parents: Have you had it up to here with the offspring? Have your tykes reached the sullen stage? The snide stage? The door-slamming stage? Maybe it's time to get the Rod.
The Rod is a flexible nylon stick with a "cushioned vinyl grip" made by Slide's Manufacturing Co. Used to swat the butts of the underaged and unruly, it was advertised in Home School Digest. The folks at Harper's magazine, ever on the lookout for weird items, excerpted the ad in their March issue. Here's an excerpt from the excerpt:
"Benefits for the children: Promotes a loving atmosphere in the home, removes guilt and foolishness from their hearts, develops self-control, helps children to receive wisdom.
"Benefits for the parents: Lightweight yet durable, balanced and easy to use, ideal for car or home, allows for better parent/child relationship, results in a more peaceful home, an excellent gift idea."
Ideal for car or home? Remember, parents, when beating your child while driving, please hang up your cell phone.
