Hot Saucing a Child

I dunno. Given the choice between spanking and saucing, I'd go with the sauce.

I think when we kids were young, my mom and aunts would put hot sauce on thumbs to keep us from sucking them. (That was a behavior I wasn't terribly fond of, but one of my cousins did it until she was in her pre-teens. I don't think saucing dissuaded her, either.)

Using hot sauce is physical discipline. It causes a form of physical pain as a "punishment" for "bad behavior." Zapping someone with low levels of static electricity isn't hitting them either, but should that be allowable? Hot saucing works on the same principle.
