My mother hated bad language and sass, but she didn't believe in mouth soapings. Inspired by the Improv group Comedy Sportz, she created a "potty mouth" penalty in our house. When one of my sisters or I used bad language or said something disrespectful, etc. Mom would make us wear the brown paper grocery bag over our head for ten minutes. It was kind of like a portable "timeout." It was kind of embarrassing, especially when we got "bagged" with company or friends over. Has anyone had a similar experience of being punished with a paper bag?
