While I'm all for memorable and creative punishments to fit the nature of the "crime", this is ridiculous. The kid can't be more then 4 or 5. You want an effective punishment for lying? Clean out their toy room/bedroom and make them earn their stuff back one at a time by actually behaving themselves. Didn't take my 4 year old long to figure out that if you lie or misbehave, you will be missing your favorite teddy bears or toys real quick.
And hot sauce? Does she realize that some peppers can be potentially fatal to children as most hot peppers are already poisionious to a degree, we just have lesser effects to it as adults.
