Soap punishment for being a potty mouth

[ineap09]

So, how many tempers have had their mouth forcefully washed with soap by their mom/dad/friend's-mom/legal-guardian/distant-relative-twice-removed for inappropriate language?

*raises hand to start the thread*

From what I remember, I think that I got it for saying crap...and maybe heck...oh, and dang once too.

Goodness, how did my mouth get so filthy?!

I got used to the taste of Irish Spring. I actually got the privilege of using Irish Spring after using Dove for years. I was like promoted to something much much worse.

I still preferred the bar over the liquid.

 

[Vigilante]

Never happened to me

I said a lot of bad words as a kid, never got the punishment though. Although i did once taste soap to see what it was like.

Haha, just say Irish Spring, and I immediately remember its taste!

I'm with you, bar > liquid.

I remember watching A Christmas Story on Xmas Eve and the scene where Ralphie has the bar in his mouth, and I remember all the times I was in that position. I hated it. I fucking hated it.

/bar of soap

Yes, I had Fairy soap for saying sh*t. Never did it again though.

 

[nryn99]

so people really had soap in their mouth for saying a bad word? i thought it was just in the cartoons.
i'm glad i never experienced it.

Yes all the time now i just swear and either get pocket money or laptop and computer time taken from me...(they figured out money and computer means more

)

You do that?

I get slapped in the face when I say bad words and my mom hears it.

Well, I can't say that I personally do it, but yes. Some parents choose to do this as the punishment while others choose their own way to deal with the situation.

[steves334]

[Paarish]

We didn't get soap... we got chutney and lots of it!

 

[RNorthex]

i never use bad words, especially not in my mother-language, so that was never an issue

Anybody that would do that to their child should have their ass beat. Thats just wrong and I feel as tho it is child abuse more or less. Time outs work wonders instead of this stupid shit.

Nope never had this happen to me.

 

[redact]

hahaha, i remember that

"wash your mouth out" sort of logic i guess

edit: i also was given powdered soap by a friend and was told it was sherbet. i ate the whole sachet without noticing until he said "haha, that was dynamo you idiot"
had some epic times in high school

I thought that kind of punishment was an urban legend.

 

[_Chaz_]

I got it once that I could remember.

Palmolive dish soap.

This, both. Seriously, that's barbaric and I hope you who received this treatment will never do that to your children.
