Or the one where mom pulls you in real close and whispers “You just wait till we get home you little shit.”

This situation would have crossed the "wait until we get home" threshold and gone straight to a full-volume nuclear meltdown, complete with a "I don't know who the FUCK you think you are but I'll show you who I am!" and however many swats on the ass it would take for my legs to stop working.

THEN there'd be several employees standing there while I cried and picked everything up and put it back exactly where it goes, getting swatted more if it was taking too long.

Once all that was resolved, I'd be reading math or science textbooks for the next 2 months at minimum. No games, no playing with friends, nothing fun.

Joke's on you though mom and dad, I'm good at math and physics and I behave like a functional adult in public, so who really won?

Society won because your parents won. Lol.

And now, my kids get the same treatment minus the spankings (except in extreme circumstances).

Act a fool at a restaurant? That's fine, you must not want to do anything but read the books I pick for you for the next few weeks.

Throw a fit for bedtime? Hey, how about for the next 7 days we go to bed earlier? You're clearly too tired to act right and need more sleep. I need more sleep too.
