That guy: A lesson learned

"When i was twelve, I ran away from a fight.

My dad got wind of what happened, because everyone told their dads and the message got back to mine through the Dad Network.

My dad grabbed my arm, and said 'I'm sorry for this...' And clubbed me right in the face.

And then he held on to me while I cried and bled.

And finally he said 'That's all there is to it. It's no worse than that. You get hit. You bleed. You wash up.'

And I fucking hated him - and still do. But, he did actually teach me something just then."

I like this a lot. I may even educate my kid in this manner.
