Years ago my wife and I visited the Wisconsin Dells and noticed a random museum--a torture device museum. It was not a gore museum, and I still don't know what possessed us to go inside. I remember one funny muzzle used to punish gossipers. Now that I have children, I realize that one device was missing from that collection. It is a torture device used on children that has been around for centuries and continues to be popular today, though not as popular as it used to be. We've been in denial for generations. It's called the dinner table.
At least it seemed like a torture device tonight with all of the whining, screaming, and escape attempts we witnessed. It would probably also qualify as a device to torture parents.
