The man had tried every way he could think of to get his son to behave. The boy knew what it meant to go to the woodshed. In fact, he knew too well. And he was really getting too big for a "whupping" as his mother called it.
But the boy had hurt his mother's feelings badly, and his dad couldn't ignore it. He didn't really know what he was going to do as he said, "Come on, boy. We're going to the woodshed."
The boy stiffened in anticipation. His father was half afraid he would refuse to go. As big as the boy was getting, his dad doubted if he could make him do so.
