Phrases from the distant past

When I was young, very many years ago, my mum used to take me with her shopping and visiting people. If I misbehaved, or behaved less than perfectly, she had two phrases that compelled instant obedience.
The first was:
"Wait till I get you home!"
The second:
"I'll deal with you later."
These phrases could be combined into a single, chilling sentence:
"I'll deal with you when we get home."
Any one of these was sufficient to create an impeccably behaved child or youth in the hope that mum would forget the earlier misdemeanours and remember only the perfect daughter of the latter part of her trip!

My mom also used ”wait till I get you home”.

@SW-User It sent shivers down one's spine, didn't it? And made other parts tense!

After the fact that we got in trouble, she would spank us or use a paddle. Well our instinct was to run knowing she couldn't catch us. Her saying was always " if you run it's going to be worse when I do get you". So we totally would stop and get our spankings. Lol.

another comment my mother used to say when with my sister and myself when visiting others was. "We cannot stay long, we have some chores to do at home that cannot wait"
translation=
it meant my sister and myself would be over our mum's lap or bending over clutching our knees when we got home. Funny how a post can remind one of such times

@Dez580 sometimes my mum told us she just needed to nip next door, later we heard from our friends from next door they were all spanked and our mum and other neighbours just happened to be there when they were bending over or standing afterwards facing a wall

@Dez580 Free entertainment indeed- or studying new techniques.

"I'll deal with you later" was a chilling fore-warning.

Whether at school or from an elder.

It always ended painfully.

@miscreant6x6 Words can be as effective as anything else. The simple phrase, "I'll deal with you later" immediately stopped all bad behaviour as one remembers the previous occasions the parent "dealt" with you. The bottom tightens, the face falls and one walks on eggshells on the return journey.

@SuziSatan02 very clever use of the word 'do' in such instances Suzi. Are you familiar with such a phrase as it never happened to me in conjunction with strict CP ?

It is wonderful how well behaved a child can be when they realise they are in danger of being spanked! Of course, for these phrases to work the child has to know they will be spanked if they are naughty again and to know that the spanking will be a very unpleasant experience.
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@johnstretton2 That was the usual procedure.

@MandyMitchell And I imagine that, despite what the experts now tell us, it was an effective way of deterring future misbehaviour.

@johnstretton2 Pupils who had been whacked seldom caused trouble for a while. The first whacking warmed, but the thought of subsequent treatment on the same place was quite a deterrent. A second whacking would have been harder and sorer.

or "we need to have al ittle chat don't we" always meant a spanking. Still i used the same phrase often with my own family
miscreant6x6 · 56-60, M
@Dez580 Yes and there was not much chatting !
Elisbch · M
My father would use those same phrases. 😕
TAReturns · M
Good luck with that ;)
barney1 · M
I heard both of those, plus wait till i speak to your father about this!!!
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@barney1 My father was usually away, so I never heard that one.
barney1 · M
@MandyMitchell sadly for me mine wasn't!!
Justforfun65 · 56-60, M
I heard those too but first I would get the look you knew you was going to be in trouble
gandalf1957 · 61-69, M

Fertilization · 36-40, F
