    Feed her a stew that makes her go blind for a day. Well since we’re at it, you can also pull all her teeth out with pliers and cut her thumbs off so she can’t grab anything. Certainly blinding a child for being a child isn’t any kind of sick child abuse (: 0

      That’s absurd. How are you supposed to reattach the thumbs after a day? And have you tried pulling teeth from a child? It’s like… well… pulling teeth.

      The blinding stew meanwhile is a time tested parenting technique.

      Ah yes, because permanent physical mutilation is exactly the same as 24-hour inconvenience.

      What the fuck is wrong with you?

        24 hours of imposed blindness would be one HUGE hell of a lot more than a mere inconvenience. That’s my whole point, maybe you should try it. Soon you are going to find out exactly what it’s like.

          I’m sure most of us here had 1 day blinding stew as kids when we were naughty and it never did us any harm.

            So is this 1 day blinding stew an actual thing or is it from some book or movie of some kind? I mean in my family pantheon of books there are some ancient recipes for a blinding cast but nothing that is for kids or lasts for 1 day - the cost of blinding a kid would come with too hefty a price, as most real magic takes a toll on the caster.
