It's a word It's just one word, but I'm gonna teach you how to use it as a noun and a verb The word is discipline discipline di s c I p l I n e discipline now usually most people know the word discipline as a noun you need some discipline you have no discipline he doesn't have any discipline this is how we use it it's a non -count noun yeah we do say no and what it means is basically self -control, self -control.
So a child with no discipline will be loud, will cry anytime, will scream, will talk.
Do you like children with no discipline?
Yeah I know some people don't mind but personally my mom and dad were tough.
They were tough parents.
They loved me but they they used a lot of discipline to Teach me self discipline.
They did they they would they would they would yell at me they would scold me they would Spank me they used that discipline to teach me to control myself So to discipline somebody means to yell at somebody or to spank somebody, or to, you know, when I was young, for example, if I did something bad, one of the punishments was no dessert, I couldn't have cookies or cake or whatever my mom had prepared.
So that's a form of discipline.
My parents disciplined me by not giving me dessert.
Sometimes my parents disciplined me by spanking me.
Not my butt! Absolutely.
I have no problems with that.
But because they disciplined me, I believe I have good discipline.
I am well behaved. I have self control not always if I see chocolate cake I eat chocolate cake yeah I need to maybe slow down I need more discipline what kind of discipline can I give myself if I lose control in front of chocolate cake mmm let's check out a Whoa!
Cake! Maybe I'll get a small piece.

You need some discipline.
Who's gonna discipline me?
Me! I brought a mirror!
Look at yourself! Blub blub blub blub.
That's not nice, that's not nice, yeah.
If you're eating too much cake, well by looking in the mirror in the bathroom, then you can see that, yes, I need to stop eating cake.
Sometimes the mirror will teach you discipline.
If you want to discipline somebody, you can show that person themself in the mirror.
That's a good idea.
And I'll tell you what, But if I look in the mirror and look at my stomach wow it's growing growing growing yeah that's got to stop.
