Granny Gheeta's Views on Sparing The Rod & Spoiling The Child

Granny Gheeta was a stern disciplinarian, however, she was a wizard at doling out her affections and  reprimands at the same time. Granny would often scold you dreadfully one minute and the next, she would be indulging your ever wish and desire. Then, she would justify her actions by saying, “ I love you that is why I scold you and to show you that there aren’t any bad feelings being  harbored, I am sprinkling the unkind words with  bits of sugar.”
