Considering that my kids are 26 & 30… it’d be weird. Anyhow, I’ve known a few CPS employees and none have had issues with a single open-palmed swat at the moment of misbehavior. As I said, for both the perpetrator and the observer, it’s all about knowing the difference between discipline and abuse.
Most furniture polish is nothing but some sort of oil, or wax & solvent. Hairspray on the other hand, tends to be things like acrylic or polyurethane which, in quantity, will make your hair hard as a rock.
I find coffee palatable if it’s cold-brewed, and a bit of hazelnut creamer; one in the morning. After that, it’s a nice black tea all day long, with an occasional English Breakfast or Twinings Lady Grey. Love reading too, but no use for Shakespeare (but I dislike plays in general).
Ironically, without the French we would not have gained our freedom.
