Grounding?

Hahaha...friend's (SD) random status message:


Question: Did you ever get grounded as a kid? 
Answers: "no, my parents didn't know about grounding"; "no, my parents don't even know what grounded means"; "nope, I got beat"; "lol, it's called getting a beating. means no grounding"; "haha, I got smacked"; "my mom would just make me do chores" ... sighh
