Spank Linda Persuasive Speech

“Spank Linda for me.” Mom told Dad, chasing me as I ran around him. I knew he didn’t agree with corporal punishment. “I’ll never hit Linda, don’t need to. She listens to me out of respect.” I hung on to him for safety. He didn’t believe in capital punishment either, implausible after what ended up happening to him. Dad was a gentle man who didn’t believe in killing...anything. Once, Mom told him,“ Kill all those moths that fly into our house.” He refused. Instead, he bought a yellow light bulb, screwed it into the socket on our front porch, turned off the living room lights and waited. “I researched library books on base,” he said, “moths are attracted to the light, in particular yellow lights.” The
moths flew near the screen door, and then he simply opened the door and let them fly out. Mom shook her head and said: “That”s useless; once you open the door, the moths will just fly back in.” “If you want the moths dead, you’ll have to kill them yourself.” he answered.
