Ed, this is for “Girls Gone Wild” in the post office. I raised three children, and if they behaved like that they would be knocked senseless. That’s what the mother needs to do, smack their butts once in a while. And if she can’t control them, she doesn’t need to bring them at all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then some goody-goody first-time parent screams about protecting the children and we have yet another case of Parental Jeopardy — New Jersey style. But I hear what you are saying.
