Joe Explains How He Did It

The secret to good parenting? That's simple. With as many kids as me and Kat had, I knew it would take some thinking. How could I make these damn kids work... Then it hit me: a musical group! So I made 'em practice, then I beat 'em. Then I beat 'em some more, then I made them get up and practice some more. Then I would wake 'em up at night with cowbells. Later with whistles and then bullhorns. Then I would punch 'em at the dinner table if they missed a step. Now I know you saying why beat them at the dinner table, they not dancing. That's where you're wrong. Pass to the left, one two three, arms to your side and end with a "I want cha back!" There's no such thing as too much practice.

Then I beat them before their shows, and then sometimes, just for fun, I'd slap the little ones because I didn't want them to forget that they had a series of beatings waiting for them on the tour bus. Particularly Michael. Michael...see I tried to beat the sugar outta that one, but hey, he is the King of Pop and well, something worked, right?
