I have heard some interesting punishments from parents who are trying to get through to their kids.  Some parents make their kids stand on a busy intersection holding a sign saying what they did wrong.  Others, make their kids do manual labor.  However, in a society where spanking doesn't occur much anymore, this Colorado mother thought she would try something different.
