Here's a parenting dilemma: My 8 year old son purposely goes up and rips one in his sister's face. She hits him, hard. We have a standing punishment in our family if you hit someone, but frankly, I'd of done the same think in her shoes. Probably a bad parenting move, but I explained to her that sometime's whacking your brother is worth the consequences you face. Maybe a little too honest. I'm sure it'll come back to bite me someday.
