"Honestly, No Spanking on Sundays"

This was post earlier today I was inspired to share with my immediate world (family and friends). Not bashful at all about the idea. Being on call today was eventful as always, the plumbing call was of a toilet overflowing-nothing out of the ordinary. When I arrived and the door there was a litle boy about 10yrs and his father enjoying his Sunday on the couch. The mother soon arrived with the youngest  a little girl about 2yrs. from church.
Long and the short of it The young boy flushed a dixie cup. During the whole time he was also curios about the progress sort of eager. Well after I found the cup on the end of the plumbers "snake", I chucked inside because this wasn't my child. Also I was inspired with a parents intuition, black-mail, I openly and honestly asked him, in front of his mother, "For five bucks your father doesn't need to know about this." This kid was no dummy and was willing to offer the money. Call a life experience or call it what you want, but I found this moment important in the young man's life. Either way his mother cut in on him about, "if you would have went to church, none of this would have happened...."
That is when the opportunity entered as an inspiration, for your honesty and on this Sunday, there will be no spankings. I also posted something on facebook about this. Living In-Kind.
