My parents did the enlightened 'no spanking' thing with my sister and I. Mom was a master at psychological guilt torture so the spanking was unnecessary. But then there was the time when she hit me with an inflatable clown. She'd forgotten that the bottom was sand filled and therefore was shocked when I started screaming. Then SHE felt guilty when I pulled my blood soaked hand from my head where the toy had sliced a rather nice gash. Turn about really is sweet!
