    • 1996 November 29, “mouth soaping questions”, in misc.kids[1] (Usenet):
      My 10 year old son mouths off a lot to me lately. Friends have suggested that I wash out his mouth with soap. [...] I will *not* tolerate foul language, though. I recall washing out my son's mouth with soap less than a half dozen times between ages 8 and 11, He absolutely positively hated it, and so did I.
