Jim,
I think a large part of this depends on whether she is a repeat or habitual
offender against El Grande and his Chiledom realm. Was there some traumatic
chile incident in her childhood where she has had a bad coming together with
a chile.
It seems that if there was no previous transgression against chiledom or any
other chileheads, she should be let off with a) a warning; b) probation; c)
community service, ie., household chores; d) remuneration of a chile sauce
of your purchase; or e) a combination of the above.
All in all, I feel El Grande has always been a kind and benevolent guiding
light in my life and I feel El Grande would show compassion while at the
same time teaching a lesson to your daughter that would be both wise,
compassionate and educational. Certainly no corporal punishment would be
involved.
