Damn right I'm going to, so long as they deserve a smack.

I used to get smacked with a wooden spoon so much, that I didn't know what a wooden spoon was for. I thought it was for smacking children. When I was bad, my mom would just put the wooden spoon on the counter and I'd shut right up. Until the day I saw her making pasta sauce with the wooden spoon and proclaimed "What are you doing with the wooden spoon?" That is the day the wooden spoon lost its power.

Hitting your children puts them in their place. If you don't hit your kids when they are deserving of some type of smack, they will think they hold most of the power.
