Hit me, Dad

Charlie's orientation stickers from Somersfield.

You try and teach lessons. You try and instill values. You use lots of techniques to do this. Lots of them fail. Charlie's been up since 6:24am but in a Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde mood so it feels longer. In Mr Hyde mode we had this conversation after he hit me on the arm:

Me: No hitting, Charlie! Would you like it if I hit you?
Charlie: (screaming) YES! Hit me, Dad!
Me: it would hurt.
Charlie: I want you to hit me! Hurt me, Dad!

I wonder if this would hold up in court?
