Speak Roughly To Your Little Boy, And Beat Him When He Sneeze

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases.

Wow! wow! wow!

I speak severely to my boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
For he can thoroughly enjoy
The pepper when he pleases!

Wow! wow! wow!
-- Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland
