Norman Rockwell's "Mother Spanking her Child".

Mom's definitely not reading the Geneva Convention, Dan, but a new-fangled book on Child Psychology.

This painting adorned the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post dated November 25, 1933. We see under the chair a hammer, a busted vase, a smashed alarm clock, and the broken mirror. It seems a spanking was in order.

With the correct parental influence and guidance, this child probably grew up to have a decent, well-adjusted life.

Thanks to all the mothers out there who helped all of us who have that sort of life, do so.
