NOTE: I agree, but no punishment is complete without Hail Marys & Our Fathers
When people think prayer is punishment, that says something about them.
When we were kids, my aunt told my cousin (her son) on a Saturday to ‘either go to confession or clean your room’.
My Cuz took the confession route. Got to church and to the confessional, did the act of of contrition
‘Bless me Father for I have sinned...
Then there was a pregant pause and the priest said
‘well what do you need to confess’
Cousin:
‘nothing Father my mom said either go to confession or clean your room, so here I am.
Priest:
‘ Say three Hail Marys and go home and clean your room’
True story. LOL
Impudence, young man, will not be tolerated!
