How do I sleep at night?

I have mentioned, The Kid is enrolled in CCD classes. He will have his First Reconciliation (First Confession) in two weeks with Father. His First Communion will follow this Spring. I have also mentioned, I was not raised Catholic.
Last night, The Kid lost his cool and spoke very disrespectful.
I lectured, it is never ok to speak that way to your parents.
He was unimpressed.
Time for me to pull out the big guns.
For punishment, The Kid had to: Write out all Ten Commandments twice, write out the entire Act of Contrition twice, apologize and then call his CCD director (his Grandma) to discuss "Honor Thy Mother and Father".
If he was embarrassed to confess to Father the comments he made to me, he should not make them in the first place.

By Golly...I think I am really getting the hang of this whole Catholic thing.
God will smite thee?
Confessing your sins to thy Father?
Writing your prayers until your fingers ache?
Check, Check and Check.

And yes, Thank you for asking.
I do sleep well, wrapped up nice and tight in my hypocrisy.
My head does lay comfortably on my abuse of power.
Yada, yada.
