A man in Indiana used “Saran wrap” to try and suffocate his mom, telling cops he wanted to “convince her that he was not a little boy and that she couldn’t push him around,” during an attack over missing money that also included punches and knees to the head, police say.
Meanwhile playing on a loop in Dylan's mind Mariah Carey was crooning:
ReplyDeleteYet another early morning
See, I know you seen me calling and calling
I should crack you right in your forehead
So get out of my face, I'm hungover
It's a Saran Wrap for you, mom
No mention of a father. Maybe a stout leather belt vigorously applied about a decade and a half ago would have forestalled this horror. Or maybe not. My own father only had to resort to the strap once, and the clip over the earhole only a few times. Often a stern glare did the trick....and it was more the crushing shame that I had offended him rather than the fear of punishment that adjusted my course, though that option was always on the menu. Praise and thanks be to God Almighty for such a good father!
ReplyDeleteMy dad had 2 belts, one he wore to work and church and his older home wear belt. As a kid once mom had me get his hone belt and put it on the kitchen table then sit there looking at it and thinking about what I did while waiting for him to get home. That was the most terrifying time as a child.

Sonny should be put gown like the feral dog that he is...
ReplyDeleteLots of uses for Saran Wrap. Bikinis, for example.
ReplyDeleteSpare the rod, spoil the child.
ReplyDeleteI say that boy has been coddled all his life.
When I was in high school, at a party a friend and his gf got frisky. They didn't have a condom, so they used saran wrap. He made the mistake of telling us. They eventually got married and he died at 38 of cancer. Wheeeee, fun stories life gives us.
