Funny story to entertain you: I once pretend spanked my son's Bunny. Gray grabbed him and hugged him sobbing. He said "Don't spank. Bunny's a good bunny." Then, he shoved the rabbit at me and commanded, "Love Bunny."

He made me carry that rabbit around all daggone day. LOL.

I'd never paddled Gray at that point. I mean, his whole life he only ever got swatted by me a handful of times. And those were in his tween and early teen years.
