Partying Daughter Grounded, Foot Nailed to Floor

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - A Cambodian mother took drastic measures to stop her party-loving 13-year-old daughter from going at out night -- she nailed her foot to the floor, officials said on Wednesday.

Mao Savoeun, 36, from Kompong Thom province in central Cambodia, told police she was angry with her daughter for going to a party at a local pagoda during last week's Water Festival, the annual knees-up in the war-ravaged southeast Asian nation.

On the girl's return, and after she went to sleep, her mother drove a two-inch nail through the top of her right foot, pinning it to the floorboards.

"We educated her about human rights and she was shedding tears, but this is a crime and we are going to send her to the prosecutor who will decide whether to charge her," local district chief Srey Puthy told Reuters.

"Mommy, why do I keep going in circles?"

"Shut up or I'll nail your other foot to the floor."

That may get her attention.....

Too late to send it to Bush, huh? (Joke!)

I'd have nailed her head to the floor. (if you don't get it watch more Python)

Interviewer: Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.

Stig: No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.

Presenter: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.

Stig: Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.

Interviewer: Why?

Stig:Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.

Interviewer: What had you done?

Stig: Er... well he never told me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't *want* to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. There's nothing Dinsdale wouldn't do for you..

Interviewer: And you don't bear him any grudge?

Stig: A grudge! Old Dinsy? He was a real darling.

From the sounds of "knees-up", people do more than just dancing.

I guess she's going to be homeschooled from now on.

This is, like following posters have shown, something out of a Monty Python skit, darling. ;)

My thoughts exactly: Was it Barbara or Jenna? It would have been a coin flip IMHO.

THIS IS, something my Irish mother would have done when exercising her red headed Irish temper over a teenager who was beligerent! *L*

Both of them are so pretty I'd nail both of them down.

Extreme discipline? Yes. But I have been there and the thought has occurred to me to at the very least put the child in chains. I fought the urge and did some other dastardly thing, like make her come home directly from school and no phone for a week. Not very effective, but the best I could manage.Who was punished for that week? ME! I had to pick her up at school (I worked) take her home and
busy myself with non-income earning busywork for a whole week. Being a mother is hard work, but some one has to do it!
