This wooden spoon, found in many kitchens, seems like an innocent enough utensil.
However, in the hands of a sufficiently perturbed mom, it can become a very effective tool to draw attention to the fact that someone is exhibiting unfavorable behavior that needs to be corrected....NOW!!
I can remember being on the receiving end of this behavior modification device (there were several actually) on more than just a few occasions. I was a slow learner....or had a death wish. Could go either way.
Ah....the memories.
