    That’s exactly the sort of thing you don’t want your kid remembering. All it will do is foster in her a vengeance against you, and she would have a pretty legitimate grievance. Who blinds a child, no matter how temporary?

      Your parents didn’t give you blinding stew?

      It’s not that bad. It doesn’t hurt, it’s scary at first but you adapt. It never made me want to get revenge on my parents, and I haven’t jaywalked since. I actually got it twice when I got suspended from school but the second time was baloney.

        Blinding stew isn’t actually real. It’s the fact that people apparently would use it wholeheartedly, on children, that’s horrific.

          Lmao, this guy never got the blinding stew. My first time was when my mom thought I stole a candy bar from the grocery store, but it turned out my sister did it and planted on me, so she got double dosed, it was pretty funny.

            Either you’re doing a good job of playing along or I am actually hearing about something legitimately worse than the abuse I suffered as a child. I don’t know whether to give you kudos or sympathy.
