I have no problem with spanking, though I'd assert few parents do it effectively. As for B, I get the sense he was spoiled and indulged when small and made someone else's problem (boarding school) when he got older.

"If we really want a peaceful and compassionate world, we need to build communities of trust where all children are respected,
where home and school are safe places to be and where discipline is taught by example."
Desmond M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus, Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children, 2006

And back to topic, ahem ...

I wouldn't be surprised if as a toddler he got the occasional tap on the back of the hand or swat on a diapered bum. Which doesn't mean he wasn't also spoiled.

Anyway, I wonder if I wonder about Benedict too much? *giggle*

It's only those who DON'T wonder if they wonder about Benedict too much who wonder about Benedict too much.

Yeah! What she said!

(As a fellow curly person) I wonder if Benedict has ever gotten really pissed at his hair.

I wonder what Benedict wants Santa to bring him for Christmas?

I imagine he's looking forward to a quiet time with his family.

I wonder if Benedict's mom called him by his full name when he was in trouble?

"BENEDICT TIMOTHY CARLTON CUMBERBATCH! You come here right this instant"!

I wonder what size shoe Benedict wears? (does anyone here actually know? *giggle*)

I wonder where Benedict got his Brooklyn Bridge t-shirt?

Brooklyn? *giggle*

I wonder what ring tone Benedict has on his mobile for Martin.

I wonder if there's a gag reel anywhere with Benedict swearing in Smaug's voice.

Slightly touchy one. I wonder why Benedict is so free with his middle finger.

besleybean · December 10, 2013 9:14 pm

Prolonged close contact with Martin!

Really? Because the butt pinch was funny (at the HOBBIT premiere) but the flip-off made me feel sad for both of them. And I've seen Benedict do it elsewhere...

They're just human. Martin swears like a sailor. I have been known to flip off close friends.
For the most part they are both utter gentlemen. Doesn't bother me if they cut up a bit.

Did some Googling. There's support out there for your theory.

Honestly, I'd be more worried if they didn't cut up now and again!

Oh yes. Mr. Freeman has throughly corupted our sweet Benny. *giggle*

I wonder if Benedict prefers to sleep on his back, his side or his tummy?

I imagine him to be a sprawler. Flat on his back in the middle of the bed, arms and legs everywhere.

But that's just me.

Now, I have images in my head.

You're welcome.
