Once upon a time the solution for anything that a kid did that was different was his fault and deserved a beating. Beatings were issued for: 1. Poor grades 2. Constipation 3. Bed wetting 4. Shouting 5.Running downstairs 6.Beatings from schoolmates 7. Loud laughing 8. Not eating 9.Eating and 10. Loud singing. (My father made a leather strap for this purpose.)
Speaking a different dialect of English (as one does), "Don't let Daddy lick me" brought to my mind's eye images of a wet tongue, and the child's eyelid or ear... Funny language, English, eh? >_<
At first, though, I thought it was "He'll take one punishment or the other: hairbrush or laxative!" and that they were advertising the laxative as a form of corporal punishment.
Just Plain Wrong is right. I hated castor oil! When I was a kid growing up in the 50's I'd run and hide when I saw my mom walking around with a dark bottle and spoon looking for me. She made me take a teaspoon every morning, it tasted like shoe polish.
What the fuck is going on here.... I really have no idea what the hell i just read.

he is going to get a beating for not taking his medicine, but instead they went and bought some that tasted better.
