Reason #35235 Desi kids are so “freakishly smart”

My mom did this to me every night @ dinner – ABCNEWS.com : Is It OK to ‘Hot Sauce’ Kids?

The practice of “hot saucing” a child’s tongue as a method of discipline may seem cruel to some parents, but those who regularly use the punishment say it teaches their charges valuable and long-lasting lessons.

  1. What’s with the “freakishly smart” bit? I’ve seen those same words used in another post and it seems like a reference to something that I am not familiar with.

  2. So was I really just being punished every night when I ate my mom’s deliciously spicy cooking?

    And if I like spicy food today, does that make me sort of freakishly perverted masochist?

    I am so confused now. Sigh.
