"He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly." (Prov. 13:24)

While browsing around in the attic, Junior came across an old report card which had been his father's. He brought it downstairs and compared it with the one he had just received at school and which he intended to show when his dad was in a good mood. When Dad was seated in his easy chair, Junior said, "Hey Dad, just look at this old report card of yours and then look at the one I just got. Why, your grades aren't any better than mine." The father said, "You're right, son. I guess the only fair thing to do now is give you what my Dad gave me!"
