In kids terms, they are asking them to stop or they will get a spanking... The parents already know the child does not want to be spanked. The parent doesn't want to spank. But allowing the child to have the option makes it clear to them the consequences.

Just a reminder of what they are in for. As an example, "Do you want a spanking. If not then you better stop!"

Because the truth is the parents really don't want to spank if they don't have to!

LOL! Sometimes that method works, but the actual spanking seems to work better. ;)

It's a threat to get the kids attention. It got my attention.

Do you think their answer is going to be yes. Did you take this question into consideration before you typed it?

It lets the kid know that if they keep going, that's as good as a "Yes".

My kids say no, but they usually stop what they are doing, at least briefly!

It's a silly question to ask...
