That's Just Weird


Rosario Dawson was doing some press for her new film Explicit and somehow she and FOX News started talking about children. They probably asked her if she intended on having any, but at some point the conversation turned into how she would discipline her children. Apparently she is not in the spanking category or the put them into timeout category either. No, Rosario has a unique way of punishing that she says her mother did to her and she thinks works great. She is going to lick them. Umm. Yeah.

"I think licking is a really great way of disciplining your child. It's definitely a lot better than screaming at them. My mom did it to me for punishment, she loves to say that I came [from her] so she can do anything that she wants to me in public. If I was acting out or talking up or just being a precocious child as I was she would lick me and my face in front of all her friends."

I admit that anything is better than screaming at your child, but I am trying to picture adults all over the world licking their children and the only ones I can think of who would enjoy doing that is Joe Simpson. He is probably kicking himself that he didn't think of this punishment. Can you ever see yourself doing this?

She has got to be kidding right? I'm trying to imagine a child in a grocery store line yelling at their parents to buy candy and having mom or dad reach over and lick their face. I think the only way it would work is if their parent didn't brush their teeth regularly or was a smoker.
