re: Creative threats your parents came up with

My cousin and I went frogging with my grandpa and uncle once when I was about 10. Of course, we were horsing around in the back of the boat and my grandpa had enough. He told us he was going to leave us out there and the "wampus cat" was going to get us. All night while we were slowly trolling along he would slap the water while we weren't looking and tell us it was the wampus cat. We were 2 little angels for the rest of the night.
