Sometimes the fear of a kicking is a much worse punishment.

The worst punishment, however, was seeing the look on my mother's face.

"I deserve far worse punishment than being put in my place."

Then I made him promise not to hurt the she again, upon pain of worse punishment.

"To be suspended for a year from playing was the worst punishment I got," he said.

She said there was no worse punishment than that I couldn't have any more children.

Hell, that's a worse punishment than anything I could do to him!

It was to be the worst punishment short of death.

There were punishments far worse than death for people like them.

Also that poor mother had been hurt by the punishment much worse than they.
