They pleaded, scolded, reasoned, and cajoled; nothing worked. At wits' end, the father promised that he'd put a stop to the gutter language first thing the next morning. As the parents were seated at the breakfast table, one of the boys walked in, sat down and said "Where are the @!%*&$@-%*$ cornflakes?" Without warning, the father's arm shot out, knocking the milk, sugar and cereal bowls right off the table. Then he del- ivered his harshest lecture to date, he took away his son's allowence and car priviliges. "And what do *you* want?" the father asked the other teen- ager as he stood in the doorway. "Well, Dad," said the boy, "you can bet I don't want any of those @!%*&^@-%*$ cornflakes."
