A week is too much to ask? Someone on this boat couldn't go a single week without making trouble again. Well, I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Why the Hell did that little girl want a squirrel, anyway? They're rats with flashier outfits.

Well then they were strange children. Or I was. I don't know.

Having been raised by sailors it wasn't unheard of for me to have known how to curse like one at that age.

The book is from a more reserved time. I imagine children who swore then would have been spanked for it, or at least had their mouth washed out with soap.

See. Craziness. I never got a hiding in my life but once or twice, and that was over stuff that could have ended with me dead. So my father was well within his rights to.

I'm with you on that first part, although I can't say I agree with corporal punishment for children in any situation. We're also from two different times, so...

A swat on the butt when it comes to a small child doesn't do any real harm; it just reminds them. You can't punish children the same for every bad thing they do; there's degrees.
