LOLz
The worst punishment would be the look of disapproval. Gotta make the parents proud!
As for firecracker, love throwing navy seals into 5 gallon buckets and watching them explode.

NO READING! for 2 weeks mom said, cuz I would put off the dishs. it only lasted about a week, plus I started writing storys on day two...but I did get kinda better.
but I did not get in much trouble. I'm the only girl and oldest of 5, my had the first 3 within 3 years. so we are close. bros 1 & 2 would talk me into things, and it did not takes us long to find out that if I joined in our luck was over. it got to the point they would be doing some nono, and I'd walk by and say you guys have fun and they stoped asking me to "try it" lol
the ONYL time I remember why I got a butt busting I had not done anything...yet my brothers and some cousins were jumping from the top of a bunk bed, to the pallet on the floor. I was just about to go when my aunt steped into the door way. I let the boys play their game with out me for a long time after that

I didn't get punished much as a kid - I was too sick most of my childhood to have the energy for misbehaving, and when I did feel good, my Mom's wicked mean stink eye was usually enough to quell any trouble in the making. However, her punishments for my elder siblings (hellions all, LOL) have become the stuff of legend.
Some of the better ones:
Chasing them, as teenagers, through the house flailing away at them with my little brother's DIRTY diaper. Mind you, it was not pee, and it was a cloth diaper. I think it took them several days to get the hallway walls completely clean.
After discovering my sisters were experimenting with certain, er, substances at school, she drove them to the police station and made them narc on the friend who provided said substances.
My cousin came over and was being mouthy and disrespectful, so Mom sat her down, slapped half a jar of chunky peanut butter between two pieces of dry white bread, and made her choke the entire thing down without letting her have a drop to drink.
My Mom rocks. LOL

Living in Public Housing, we aren't allowed to do this. Oh, how I wish I could do this!
We aren't allowed to take the doors off of hinges (we kept loosing the tiny key they gave to us), change the inside door locks so we can have a key also (we were able to put this key on our key chains), and also, a no-no to the new energy light bulbs.

no weird punishments... just a belt on the backside that my dad made us go get... if we didn't bring one he considered good enough we had to go get the right one and got a worse spanking
I used to get grounded from reading too.

In January of this year our daughter told us she was going to wake up the next morning and be a grown up. She wanted to make her own choices because she was tired of the ones we gave her: read a book or go to bed, for example. She was very demanding for things at the store or even going to the store. I decided to treat her like a grown up for a few days.
Every time she was hungry I said, "There's the fridge, make yourself something to eat. Grown-ups make their own choices on what to feed themselves. But make sure you use only the groceries that you bought, because grown-ups make their own choices on what to buy at the store. And make sure you use your own money to buy the groceries, because grown-ups make their own choices on what job they have to make money, etc." I told her that she didn't have to put away the clean flatwear from the dishwasher anymore. She was thrilled. And then I said that grown-ups put ALL of the dishes away! For five days I did this over every little thing, telling her what choice she'd have to make as a grown-up. She finally said, "Mom, I made a mistake, I don't want to be a grown-up." I thought 5 days was a long time before she gave this up, but she did.

My girlfriend is getting tired of the sibling rivalry between her boys. They both want to be only children. I told her to treat them like only children for a week: Instead of sharing chores, one of them gets to do all of the chores. I suggested that she double the amount of time she double checks on him - homework done? Chores done right? Appropriate e-mail content. Browser history. Calling the teacher.
He's also not involved in any extracurricular activities, and I said I'd sign him up for a few things because if you only have one child you only get one shot to have a piano player or soccer star. And I'd make him do a bunch of volunteer work because only children think they are the center of the world.
She hasn't done this yet, but she's working on a plan to do so.

My parents usually would just make us clean our rooms, which was like the end of the world for me
That was about it. Every so often my younger brother would feel feisty and get in my dad's face....BIG mistake...lol.
All my dad had to do was look at me and I would cry..hahaha, sensitive I guess!
Now that I am a parent, the one thing that just devastates my 6 year old daughter is...lol..when she misbehaves, she is not allowed to help me clean the coops and stalls. Oh, it is like someone just crushed her whole world! She looks forward to cleaning the coops and stalls! The stalls we clean every other day and the coops once week. She knows that of she does something bad on Tuesday, she won't get to clean on Saturday..lol. Mean mommy, I know!
It is just the opposite for my son, he acts like I am killing him if he has to help clean!

My parents did this to my brother and I when we were teenagers! We thought we were so cool and had stuck out to take a walk...lol...well we came back, slipped back into bed and my dad came in and felt our shoes that were near the bed. Yupp they were wet from the dewy grass! So they made us stay awake and clean out rooms and we weren't allowed to stop. Finally around 10 the next morning we were allowed to go to sleep. Never again did I try to sneak out..hahahaha
