Speak roughly to your little boy,
    And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy
    Because he knows it teases.
    Wow! wow! wow!

I speak severely to my boy,
    And beat him when he sneezes:
For he can thoroughly enjoy
    The pepper when he pleases!
    Wow! wow! wow!
        -- Lewis Carrol, "Alice in Wonderland"
