It's all about parental expectations, isn't it? And conveying parental sincerity that those minimums of honesty and honest effort will be rendered by the child.

That black leather belt was awfully sincere, lol.

The only part that rang false every time was the old "this is going to hurt me worse than it is you!" lolol

never got the “this is going to hurt me more....” routine. good thing because i probably would have mouthed off with a “yeah, right” reply and then would have gotten double. a price was paid for all bad deeds.
