It’s the fear that they lack, really, that does it. Obviously his father didn’t beat him often enough.

- 

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,  
I beat him when he sneezes;  
For he can thoroughly enjoy  
The pepper when he pleases!

Wow! wow! wow!

\*- Lewis Carroll
