Sounds a little like my methods

Once my mom had me help her with her Sunday School class. She left the room to get something, and all of a sudden, 10 children leapt from their chairs and began racing around the room. I started grabbing one child at a time, seized the child and plopped him in his chair and said DON'T MOVE! I succeeded with each child.

Mom came back and they were all sitting there looking scared to death of me. Mom said, "What did you do?" I said, "I put them in their chairs."

Mom never asked me to help again. ;)

Sounds.... appropriate

well, Traditional anyway.

Sunday School class is where you learn better to abandon spontaneity, eschew any nascent, fledgling Questions you might have about the Mysterious-program you've been sent to absorb - and where you get the first Formal-lessons on Never Questioning authority. As the Jesuits say, "..give me a child til age 5 --"

Nice intro to Righteousness-101; you helped a bit, too - gave them an intro to the main method of inculcation: fear. Unwittingly, of course.

(I know. I know - 'discipline 'is ~another matter; we invented that word to justify not-drowning the more rambunctious/freest amidst our fleglings. Amazing anyone ever grows up to Question Authority\ufffd at all.) er, cha cha cha
