My mom used to tell me that she would drop off me and my brother in the woods with a piece of bread if we didn't behave. This was when I was around 4 or 5. She only used it when we were in the car. I would have nightmares of being lost in the woods with my brother (who was abusive) until I was an adult. It came up in conversation a few weeks ago, and I told her it had given me nightmares, and she said it was a joke! I'm wondering if a 4 year old would be able to get the joke or if I was just obtuse.
