OT: Spanking and IQ study

I am not interested in a debate (honestly don't care if you're pro or con).

Just wanted to post this info in case you ever wonder why you keep forgetting your keys.

I always wondered what was wrong with me and now I know.

I saw this yesterday on the Today show....and have been meaning to tell my parents what they did to me :) LOL

Yes and when our kids are adults there will be something that we did to lower their IQs... like making them wear bike helmets or something.

or sitting them in a corner, making them stare at a blank wall .. boy, if that's not popping 'em with a stupid stick!

It's inevitable, they (our kids) will blame us for *something*.

Exactly!

Yeah...that must be what happened to me...except the spankings mainly (I hope?) affected my technological IQ...I seem to be functioning OK in other areas.  It was probably those orange hot wheels race tracks my mom used to stripe my legs with that did it...either that or the switches my grandma used to make me go pick myself so she could switch my legs.
