Hanging out with my nieces/nephews I now understand most the discipline I received as a child was most likely because I was being annoying and nothing to do with right or wrong.

I share your recollection, and I’m thinking VHS recordings may be the explanation.

It’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. The weird part is (it must just be tied to when I saw them?) they were decidedly in like a late 80s early 90s style. I’m mystified.

I made the original comment.

I picked ‘cigarette commercials’ because that seemed like the most obnoxious thing a kid could sing.

Wasn’t expecting to get people focused on that.

Who knew?

Apologies haha. Let’s get back to blaming the children!

Speaking as a former child myself, I can say that they are in fact terrible people with absolutely no boundaries.
