When I was seven, I found a strange book of my parent's bookshelf: The Book of Discipline. What an odd title.Aha! I realized what this book was. Whenever I was spanked or otherwise punished, this was how my parents knew how to do it. And all the time that it seemed like my Mom had a psychic ability to know when I was getting into mischief, all she was doing was reading the book!
This book was a menace to my childhood joy.
I was all alone in my parent's closet, looking at this printed predator on the bookshelf.
So I hid it.

So many other kids have followed your lead that many Methodists no longer seem to know it exists...
Hah!
That's very true.
