"spare the rod, spoil the child."
Ugh.. disgusting. That's old testament first of all but I'm loathe to get into a religious discussion today.

I was talking to a lady at church and was telling her how my 17 mos. old dd pulls my 5 yr old ds's hair. She told me I should slap her hand when she does this. I told her it doesn't make sense to me to do that because I'm hitting her and hurting her for hurting her brother. I told her that it sends a mixed message. That's when she said spare the rod spoil the child.

I guess I'm confused. What does that story have to do with selling a product? Why would they include that in a business email? Pretty unprofessional IMO.
